Radio LaB is aiming to raise hundreds of pounds for charity as a tribute to a young wrestler.
Rock Bottom Radio (RBR), our wrestling-based panel discussion show, has aired every Wednesday at 8pm for two years, during which time the team discuss in-depth on matters of WWE and other wrestling franchises.
Now the team are planning a special 24 hour broadcast on Tuesday 25th October from 10pm called #RBR24, to raise money for charity Cavendish Cancer Care.
The team wanted to pay tribute to UK wrestler Kris Travis, who passed away earlier this year at the age of just 32, following a battle with stomach cancer.
RBR presenter and Journalism student Daniel Jones said: “Kris’ death really touched the team and we all felt we wanted to support the charity that supported him, Cavendish Cancer Care. #RBR24 is going to be a lot of fun – we can’t wait.”
Radio LaB Co-ordinator Terry Lee said: “Rock Bottom Radio’s successes over the past two years are set to be seriously celebrated in this unique 24 hour broadcast. #RBR24 is a student-led programme, and one which demonstrates Radio LaB’s commitment to innovative radio content.”
