| Robin Ayers (1980-2024) |
Robin Ayers, a respected entertainment news journalist, author and host at KBLA 1580 radio, died Thursday, Dec. 5. She was 44, according to The Wrap.
Ayers’ death was confirmed by Tavis Smiley, a talk show host on the same radio program. “On behalf of her precious family, it is with profound sadness that KBLA Talk 1580 announces the passing of our beloved colleague Robin Ayers on Thursday, December 05. Robin was a bright light. You could see her radiant smile through the radio,” he wrote on X.
“We all respected her immense talent, loved her jovial spirit, celebrated her love of family, and honored her faith in God. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robin’s entire family, most especially her husband Rob and her twin daughters Brooklyn and Madison.”
Ayers joined KBLA in 2022 as the host of “The RA Report with Robin Ayers.” Prior to joining the station, she worked as a reporter and entertainment news correspondent for EURweb. The outlet’s founder and publisher, Lee Bailey, said in a statement, “Along with the EURweb staff/family, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Robin Ayers. Her passion for storytelling and unwavering commitment to truth brought depth and authenticity to her work.”
In an interview with Canvas Rebel this year, Ayers walked the outlet through her path toward journalism. She said she’s “always felt natural at having conversation with different people from all walks of life.”
“My true skill is listening when people share their stories,” Ayers continued. “Turning into a career, however, is the real key. I did not go to a traditional college and certainly did not acquire any degrees in communication or journalism. I was lucky enough to have met someone who believed in me.”
