Saturday evening I was driving by Comerica Park while a baseball game was being played and I saw a number of buses parked on the other side of I-75, making me think of Ron. Coincidentally I was also listening to WPON and during my drive-by a promotional spot for Sports Talk was broadcast.

Martin Anthony is currently doing "stream-of-consciousness" broadcasting on WPON.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics' on-line CPI Inflation Calculator, $25,000 in March 1980 "has the same buying power as" $94,921.04 in May 2023 (latest month available).

Thanks for the birthday greetings!

I came into this world on July 6, 1957.

I bought four hours to broadcast on WPON from 10:00 to 14:00 on November 23, 2021. An old friend of mine who is a well known musician in the Detroit area turned 65 on that day and we played recordings that meant much to him and talked about various adventures plus took phone calls. (Search back post...

I have bought time on WPON. To do so isn't difficult or expensive, the staff were friendly and accommodating.

I'll admit I approach the subject of CKWW (AM 580, frequency duly noted) being simulcasted/transferred to 88.7 FM with mixed emotions. While CKWW is one of my favorite stations, I have stated in the past that part of the station's charm is being broadcast on the AM band in that many if not most of t...

A few years ago CKLW-AM's signal was broadcast on CKWW-AM's signal with no prior announcement as CKLW-AM's transmitter wasn't working and management decided to keep the signal alive by using the 580 frequency. Hours later CKLW-AM's transmitter was fixed and normal broadcasting resumed.

Regarding the "sports" theme: Somewhat surprisingly, Ron did tell me that Denny McLain's musical/recording career was a subject I could ask Mr. McLain about about the next time he was on Sports Talk.

My favorite Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band recording was "Do Your Thing."

Among many items in the July 10, 1992 article was Ron's paradoxical view of Bob Probert. While Mr. Cameron stated that he was "pulling for" Mr. Probert "like crazy," he then derided the standing ovation the Red Wing received upon return after his suspension. RC's declaration that "the fans in this t...

WPON doesn't offer podcasts. Initially Ron's last stint at WDTK was greeted with encouragement as WDTK did have a podcast option. Mr. Cameron made a point to mention this upon his return to 1400 kHz. (Ron was incredulous when I told him that the podcasts weren't necessarily being posted.) Ultimately...

I was passively listening to the Sunday show when I heard the egregiously wrong information given about the Bob Gibson-Denny McLain video. Hearing the mis-information motivated me to pick up the phone and "set the record straight."

Bobbert's recording from December 12, 1978 of Ron broadcasting on WXYZ-AM is a fascinating contrast to what we've become accustomed to hear from Mr. Cameron's transmissions in the past few(?) years. Many callers and a guest from the then-current Red Wings organization (Bud Lynch) made the show inter...
