Ron Cameron

[Momo]

Bob Talbert was no fan of Ron:

"You can't even listen to even a half hour of Ron Cameron on WXYZ's afternoon sports talk show that Superfan doesn't insult the intelligence of his guest or a caller or his audience at least once. George Blaha makes that show bearable. Less Cameron blab-haha and more Blaha, I say."

(11/3/80)


"How about these trades for WXYZ radio's blabbermouth Ron Cameron? WJZ's Bob Page or WRIF's Eli Zaret for Cameron? Or anyone for Cameron?"
(12/28/80)


"And isn't Ron Cameron, cohost with George Blaha of WXYZ's afternoon sports/talk show, nervous about keeping his job? He's opening up a fast-food and pizza restaurant at Nine Mile and Harper in St. Clair Shores next month. He's also acquiring the Home Plate bar near Tiger Stadium, and says it's all to 'protect myself' from the 'ups and downs of radio ratings.' Right now, they're down."
(8/16/81)


"Speaking of sports talk, we can't forget the brief run Ron (Superfan) Cameron had on WXYZ and how he blew it?"
(11/1/88)


"Sometime this coming week, WXYT-AM's hot, billboarded talk show host Denny McLain confides he'll give Ron Cameron notice he's quitting as cohost of Cameron's TV sports show. McLain says, 'I'm sick of Cameron's constant misinformation' and his 'no-class vendettas against Red Wing Bob Probert and the Lions' Wayne Fontes. ... I warned Cameron if he didn't clean up his act, I'd quit the show. He promised he would, but he hasn't changed a bit. I don't need his aggravation.''
(10/22/89)


"I must be doing something right. The right-wing's extreme egotist Rush Limbaugh, basketball's mouthy ego Dick Vitale and local sports buffoon Ron Cameron all were whining recently on radio about my criticism of them."
(1/5/90)


Steve Overmire, Birmingham
"Helpful household tip: If you somehow lose your phone books, never fear. Turn on Ron Cameron'a talk show on WCAR-AM (1090), and in his hour he'll tell you about every commercial enterprise, his sponsors, within the radius of 200 miles. It is also recommended for a really hearty laugh."
        "Steve, Cameron ceased to be funny years ago."  
(2/14/90)

"Whatever happened to big mouth free-lance sports-show host/restaurant owner Ron Cameron and that radio station he supposedly bought?

Maybe today is the long awaited announcement of Ron's new restaurant? One thing is for certain he'll find a way to discredit Miggy's big game last night.

I just got called out by name by Greg from Warren. That’s the kind of spontaneous publicity that’s going to make me!

[Mr.Transistor]

Nice shout out Momo! Some of us listen for different reasons, it's all in good fun. Now we got Kurt on the 2nd half hour. Honestly, Ron needs to shorten this guy's time on the air. I've been tuning out after about 5 minutes of this fella.

[Momo]

So this sports show host, who waxes eloquence on his watching What’s My Line, To Tell the Truth & Match Game at his new hotel, can’t comment on the Dodgers-Astros donnybrook because he didn’t see it?!

[wtfdetroit]

I missed that, what did Greg say??

[Momo]

I wasn’t paying close enough attention when I heard him make some pro-Ron statement & contrast it to me.

[wtfdetroit]

Do Ron's listeners really go to any of these restaurants? Ron seems more unprepared than normal today.

[Mr.Transistor]

I missed that, what did Greg say??

Evidently Greg takes offense to the "all in good fun" comments of descriptions of the show that take place here. At least enough to occupy his mind and bring it up on Ron's show. On a sidenote I had to laugh out loud at Kurt calling Ron Gardenhire old............takes one to know one.

[wtfdetroit]

Kurt can kill an entire show with his baseball calls. It could be 5 minutes after the super bowl ends, and Kurt will want to talk about the 73 Reds

[Momo]

My bad, I meant waxes eloquent, not eloquence.

[wtfdetroit]

How come we can hear Martin in the background on the phone?

[wtfdetroit]

Why is this guy from NY calling Ron? This is the strangest call ever

[Momo]

David Shepherd from CBS Sports. He’s gotta be trolling, right. How would he know of Ron? Maybe from this board?

[wtfdetroit]

This guy has to be trolling. No way anyone cares about Ron's stupid show
