Radio Talker Scott Robbins Suffers Heart Attack

Scott Robbins

Radio personality Scott Robbins has suffered a massive heart attack and will require triple bypass surgery, his co-host said Tuesday.

In a Facebook posting Tuesday, Jamie Markley, who cohosts an afternoon show with Robbins on Talk WMBD 1470 AM / 100.3 FM in Peoria and on N/T KXL 101.1 FM in Portland, OR, said Robbins had a heart attack early Monday morning and was saved by CPR.

“During the overnight hours this morning, Scottie took a turn for the worse and suffered a code blue. An entire team of pros were working on him and brought him back,” Markley said.

Then early Tuesday, Scott took a turn for the worse and started bleeding internally. The staff was able to stabilize him again, and he underwent a procedure that stopped the bleeding.

“The staff here said it was pretty much a miracle he made it through,” co-host and friend Jamie Markley said. “I’ve told Scottie a lot of times that our friendship means more to me than the show. That’s never been more true than it is right now.”

Robbins has been undergoing tests, and doctors want to get him stabilized and breathing on his own before his surgery, Markley said.

Earlier this month, Robbins along with partner Jamie Markley signed a new long-term contract with Alpha Media. (Click Here)
