Re: Ron Cameron

At the one month anniversary of Ron's death, here is a parody of a song made famous by Bob Hope, one of Ron's neighbors during the 1990s (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&start=16815#p741300).

Re: Nielsen Detroit radio ratings

Fake Wheels 106.7 posts a new record low for the brand, Alt 98.7 soars to a 3.7 share (a new record high for them), and WRIF inches up to a 6.2 share (close to record high territory). WJLB and WDMK continue to underachieve. The Ticket has descended now that the Lions playoff run is over but remains...

I wonder if The Ghost of Ron Cameron has teamed up with The Ghost of Al Capone at The Fenton Hotel?
If so, I can imagine the ghost of Capone saying, “Who’s this putz thinking he can horn in on my territory?!”
And then he has some of his boys “bump him on” and it sends him back to life.

Re: Ron Cameron

Wherever he may be, Ron must be kvelling at the news that that good/great man - & would-be biographer - Ted Kulfan has landed in the Dearborn Sports HOF: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2024/03/15/ted-kulfan-earns-dearborn-parks-and-recreation-sports-hall-of-fame-nod/72987611...

Watching the pistons as they are playing the heat. They just panned to family friend Erik Spostra, With all the local coaches, managers & executives Ron acknowledged never meeting, I was always dubious of his oft-told story about chatting up the Miami Heat coach who was surprised someone remembered...

It appears Mozzarella's Pizza in Rochester Hills, one of Ron's more recent sponsors, has gone out of business.
Can the closing of the Fenton Hotel be far away?
I’m sure they are all struggling without the reach of Ron’s ads to guide the throngs he provided to their establishments.

interesting Ron ads “Ladies who trim” B I N G O And a favorite-This restaurant has 20 Jumbotrons brings be back to the 80’s thinking about all those CRT’s :) I always looked forward to that dramatic pause before Ron said, "BINGO!" Similar to the pause at about 11:03 before “I’m hearing an echo”

Re: Ron Cameron

I am assuming that there is still no word on the circumstances of Scoops exit, and maybe he still lies unclaimed down at the Warren morgue? Nothing more on this from Martin. Here are a couple of his recent posts: Hi Friend, I want to let you know that Ron Cameron does not have any fundraisers or go...

I just now heard of Mr. Cameron's passing. Prayers to his family and friends. I quit opening this thread when one of you started waiting for him in a library parking lot every weekend.

Re: Ron Cameron

Ron was probably a fan of 19th century baseball pioneer Al Spaulding, who is actually a member of the Hall Of Fame.

Re: Ron Cameron

I'm a former Detroit native now living elsewhere on the Lakes and I'm just now learning that Ron Cameron has passed. I read the article written by Jared Ramsay in the Freep. He made multiple factual errors in R.C. history. On radio, he was heard on WMZK-FM 98.7 from 1977-1978. It would not switch t...
