Farewell, EarleWKAR said farewell to one of our longtime radio personalities last month when Earle Robinson hung up the SportsTalk 870 microphone for a life of retirement.

Earle came to WKAR 39 years ago, where he worked with WKAR sports director, Jim Adams. While much of the focus was on MSU sports, they also looked at Michigan’s teams – the Tigers, Lions, Red Wings and the Lansing Lugnuts.

Earle and Jim made an impressive team, one greatly loved by mid-Michigan sports fans. When Jim retired there was no doubt that Earle would stay on and carry SportsTalk as a solo gig. In that role he talked to all the coaches and past and present players, citing Earvin “Magic” Johnson, a man he says changed the popularity of basketball at MSU, as a favorite.

“For those of us who live on the other side of the lake, Earle was the one real link to MSU sports, especially when the Internet came along,” said David from Ontario. “I, for one, used to adjust my work day to make sure I was free [for his show].”

Michael from Saginaw, where Earle started his career, was a “regular” caller and would often come up to WKAR to visit Earle.

“He did a great job of serving the whole audience and I appreciate that,” he said, adding, “Thank you for many years of service. You have been a beacon in my life.”

WKAR will recognize Earle and sports journalism in general during a celebration in April. Watch Stay Tuned and WKAR.org for more information. Meanwhile, SportsTalk will continue on WKAR AM/870, so keep listening!

WKAR ‘s Volunteers, Sponsors and Members Really Shine!WKAR’s annual March membership campaign is March 1-11 and will feature many new and returning specials. We want to thank our pledge sponsor, the MSU Federal Credit Union. MSUFCU is a strong community partner with many organizations in mid-Michigan. Here at WKAR, we are very pleased to have MSUFCU on board for March pledge.

During this campaign, dozens of volunteers will answer calls here in our volunteer center. We thank you for spending your time with WKAR.

Did you know our volunteers contribute more than 1,000 volunteer hours during the TV pledge drive? Many volunteers serve other roles as well. Whether helping with phones, stuffi ng envelopes, reading for Radio Reading Service or helping at events, our volunteers really shine. If you are part of that group, thank you!

Volunteering is a way that people who love WKAR can make the very important gift of time to this station. If you would like to spend an evening with us during our campaign, please let us know by calling Liz Austin at (517) 884-4789 or email [email protected].

Of course we are grateful for your fi nancial support as well. Your gift to WKAR not only helps ensure the future of WKAR-TV for your own pleasure, but also helps others in our community. Our family-friendly TV programs provide a safe, educational haven for your children, a front-row seat to the world’s greatest concert stages and so much more.
