KPLC 1986 Rob Robin's Farewell

Very entertaining clip...Rob asks, 'What were you doing 15 years ago'. Rob also reminds us of the pop songs charting at the time he started at KPLC. he even laments that he might have been a rock star, if it hadn't been for KPLC. Good thing for us he decided on being a weatherman..and now we join the tonight show already in progress..

I remember watching Rob when I was a young kid! He was one of my inspirations for me to make meteorology my profession.

I remember Rob Robin, he use to be on KPLC when I was a boy, but then he moved to FOX 29 to do the News @ 6 & 10 and later, the News @ Nine for 1 hr. long before they brought it back, I guess they wanted to compete w/KPLC and also, Rob Robin has been doing weather for so many years on KYKZ and still does to this day and I remember Ted Wren from Live @ Five and Live @ Ten and Jan Hardy did Live @ Noon & Five, James and Cynthia still did Live @ 6 Ted & Cynthia on Live @ Ten.

Good Times.

Wasn't he very ill at one time and almost died? Maybe that's a rumor, but I had heard something to that effect some years ago. Even when he did a brief interview on the radio right after Hurricane Rita someone called in and had mentioned a serious illness he had had, but nothing specific was ever said about it.

Thankfully, Rob Robin is still doing the Weather on KYKZ 96.

I believe he is, according to the KYKZ website.

[menaceofdennis]

Is he still on KYKZ doing weather?

I grew up in Lake Charles in the 60s and 70s and, therefore, grew up listening to Rob -- first on KLOU and then as weatherman at KPLC. I remember staying up all night long watching him broadcast during hurricane evacuations. Living in Cameron Parish later in life, we depended and trusted wholeheartedly Rob's forecasts and respected him greatly. I miss him!!!
