I wonder if Martin has any insight on why Ron was in the hospital when missed his birthday show. That might explain what led to his death one month later. I can’t think of it now, but was there an additional health issue when he had his knee surgery? Martin posted that Ron also had a brain aneurysm...

Drew said his "audience didn't know who Ron Cameron was, I don't think."

As the Buzzboard has been a topic on his podcast on a few occasions, Drew surely has to be aware of how the "Ron Cameron" thread has ruled this forum for years. So to willfully ignore us does not sit well.

While Ron would talk about amorphous meetings with people on the street, e.g., post-interview with New Zeelander Jim Kaat (no best-of Ron, btw, would be complete without some tape of that), Ron’s specific recounting of his meeting with you, Bobbert, on what would be his last show, along with the abs...

I so hope Cowboy can find a Windsor-area pay phone so he can call into the show on Friday. What a fitting tribute to Ron's throwback show it would be if the operator interrupted Cowboy to inform him he had to add more coins to continue the call.

Eli added that Ron "was a very fringe guy who survived for a long time doing shows on very poorly listened to stations." Could Eli be any more churlish? If that's ALL Ron was, would his death have merited almost a full page career retrospective in the print edition of the Free Press. The man WAS so...

If there's a local sportscasters wing in heaven, how awkward will it be for Ron to spend eternity with the likes of Frank Beckmann & Jim Price?! With many more to come.

Starting at 12:52, Eli Zaret talked about Ron on the Drew & Mike podcast. Drew said his "audience didn't know who Ron Cameron was, I don't think." Eli added that Ron "was a very fringe guy who survived for a long time doing shows on very poorly listened to stations." Eli referenced the mention of th...

"Where are these tape coming from?" With an MP3 recorder I made the recordings either off the stream (WPON and WDTK) or from the podcasts (WDTK) plus what I could download from various websites. Frank, I was referring to the tapes of the "best of Ron" we're led to believe will be a part of the trib...

I recorded Ron's interview with Bryan "Bugsy" Watson involving the restaurant business among other subjects, which occurred on January 23, 2021. Mr. Watson died less than six months later on July 8, 2021. The coverage here of that interview: https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&...

I heard Page as a call-in guest on Ron's old AM 1310 show about 20 years ago. Page spent much of the interview making wise cracks at Ron's expense, repeatedly mentioning how almost no one was listening to the show. It was actually a rather amusing segment! The tweets from Bob exude a personality si...

I remember a few years back when a 75ish Ron had former Wing & later successful restaurateur Bugsy Watson as a guest. Of course, Ron, who turned every "interview" into an episode of "This is Your Life," with him as the subject, had to talk about HIS career in restaurants & his then-intention to ope...

Ron's death has triggered a wild flood of FB comments from Page. Some that really jump out: Ronnie owned SO many greasy spoon diners, dive bars & "restaurants" in his 79 years that even I can't recall all the ones he dragged me to, Rob!!! I think 3 months was the max time he ever "owned" one before...

NOW even my ex-NY/NJ girlfriend Audrey is reading all this stuff about Ron Cameron! Why? I took her back to Detroit a number of times. At least once I dragged her to a taping of Ron's radio show when I was the guest. She laughed her butt off at the whole thing! Was Audrey the famous "teeny bopper g...

George Eichorn had many nice things to say about Ron today on X I'm not on X, so it's hit or miss for me on that site (for example, I'm able to see some of Bob Page's posts ... or at least his responses to others). I can't see what George posted. Or, I should add, what his domineering wife allowed ...
