WoF and Jeopardy have been on channel 4 for at least 40 years. Is that the case in most other markets as well? Have they ever jumped ship in other cities? Or are most cities similar to Detroit, with 40-year relationships? I’ve always found it strange that the Chicago station doesn’t air them back-t...

This is not the first time they've aired the wrong episode. Will they make good on it? No.

Doesn’t 1270 have rights to CMU football? Not that that will draw numbers, but it is income. Would that go to Audacy since they still own the station, or is that subleased and Parker gets a chunk? Not one local ad. Just PSAs, show promos, and calling for podcasters, even non sports related, to pay ...

No issues in western Wayne or Detroit.

Looks like Mission is back on board...

My understanding is there are a few nighttime color TTTT tapes around, not from 1957 of course. All of the Line and Secret episodes were saved on B&W kinescopes, even though the last year was originally in color. Color tape was expensive and bulky, and there wasn't much of a reason back then to sav...

https://twitter.com/CameronSportsTk/status/1773334195642782150 Apparently Ron’s doctor didn’t know he died. That’s very sad. Could be his dentist or foot doctor. It is sad that Ron will apparently end up in potter's field. Also to be fair, it's not like doctor's offices check message boards for dea...

Does that mean WTVS and WFUM (and for that matter WGTE) didn't have the same agreements? I'm sure it was WFUM that pushed the FCC for cable coverage in Oakland, and WGTE is available in Monroe and some Downriver systems. At one point Ann Arbor had four: WTVS, WKAR, WGTE, and WFUM. WFUM left when th...

TVO was on the Downriver cable systems in the United Cable era.

Another flashback memory of Ron Cameron: When I was working in a drugstore in Grosse Pointe Farms in the late 1970's/early 80's, Ron came in a few times. After the Detroit Free Press Marathon in (I believe) 1979 he told us that he had run in the race, but did not finish. He spoke of wanting to fini...

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...

Time for my story. In a previous version of my life, I worked in the press box at Comerica Park on an occasional basis. And this was when Ron still had a press pass. Mr. Cameron was eating his uncomped meal when Josh Lewin, formerly of FS Detroit and at this point with Mets, happened to walk by. Ron...

Plus they do the fill the bag with fries thing a la Five Guys.

Yeah the Pistons are garbage, tom gores needs to sell the team and let them move to Seattle.... but John Kane doing play by play doesn't help a 27 game losing streak.

Any word on the street why Mr. Blaha has been missing?
