Re: Ron Cameron

Mere conjecture on my part, but could Ron's comments about the Detroit Tigers' PR department be a little too "hot to handle" for WDTK? Also I'm happy to report that I have recorded/downloaded many of Mr. Cameron's broadcasts from his most recent residency at WPON. I was able to do the same with "Sco...

Re: Ron Cameron

Another story from the saga of Ron Cameron, restauranteur: Last weekend I met an old friend that I recently learned had worked for Ron at one of his eateries. An example of his experience was his telling the "powers that be" that they would save a lot of money by buying a meat slicer for making subm...

Re: Ron Cameron

Historic Images has three photos of Ron in the early 80's. At a price of $9.00 per photograph, more aspects of Mr. Cameron's life are available. 1.

Re: Working on the holiday

When I worked as a Master Control Switcher at WEYI in 1980, holidays were considered no different from any other day. If you were scheduled to work Mondays, one was expected to work on a Monday regardless of holidays with no extra renumeration.

Re: Ron Cameron

Ron's "bathroom break" on May 22, 2022 was his first since the broadcast of January 16, 2021 on WPON which lasted just under 8 minutes. Martin, his WPON producer played various "oldies" in the interim.

Re: Ron Cameron

The address of Knockout Pizza is now a Toarmino's Pizza location (31221 Plymouth Rd, Livonia). I wonder how long Knockout lasted as Ron did his infamous live broadcast from Louie's Pizza on January 4, 2020.

Re: Ron Cameron

If anyone in this forum has access to Chris Illitch or any member of the Illitch family, would he or she please ask them what their impression of Mr. Cameron is. For all Ron's claims of being "idolized" by member(s) of the family, I'd like to hear the Illitch side of the story.

A caveat regarding WDTK's podcasts of the March 27, 2022 show: Both hour 1 and 3 are listed as "Hour 3." Nonetheless, the entire show is available.

Re: Ron Cameron

Thanks for the "heads up" regarding the podcasts for the February 13, 2022 episode. Unfortunately the February 6th broadcast, replete with Mr. McLain's noteworthy telephone conversation has not been made available.
