Re: Ron Cameron

Expanding on the caveat regarding Ron's WDTK's podcasts: The "first" hour (after a pregnant pause) is the Larry Elder Show, while "second" and "third" hours are the Eric Metaxas program. Either chronic ineptitude at WDTK or Ron isn't paying his bills.

Re: Ron Cameron

A caveat for those of us who like to listen to WDTK's podcasts of Ron's shows: While the WDTK website shows podcasts for the December 26, 2021 broadcast, they're not of Ron's show. The "third hour" podcast is a repeat of a Labor Day(!) show of another host. More confusion from WDTK.

Re: Ron Cameron

The "Grinch" would be the knucklehead(s) at WDTK who put up the wrong podcasts for December 19th!

Re: Ron Cameron

Just checked Amazon Music. Apparently they're offering the same incorrect podcasts under Ron's name as well. I don't think we can blame Ron for this faux pas.

Re: Ron Cameron

Bobbert, yes the January 4, 2020 broadcast is the "classic example of unintentional hilarity" I was referring to. Note that he started the live, remote show by misstating the name of the pizzeria!

Re: Ron Cameron

I won't argue about Ron's show getting "a little moldy after a few days," but some of his broadcasts are timeless. If possible, try to find the podcast of Ron doing a remote show from Louie's Pizza in early 2020. (His last WDTK appearance before leaving for WPON.) A classic example of unintentional ...

Re: Ron Cameron

Kudos to the effort involved in creating the Wikipedia entry on Ron. Concise and non-judgmental, this is just what a broadcast historian would want and need with the amply documented footnotes. Also in fairness to Ron regarding the story of the Detroit Tigers contemplating moving to Dearborn in late...

Re: Ron Cameron

The June 26, 1986 issue of the Grosse Pointe News reports Jimmy Carson's parents are Maria and Charles "Chuck" Carson. The senior Mr. Carson's line of work is not mentioned.

Re: Ron Cameron

A Ron Cameron Appreciation Night sounds like a lot of laughs. The bar could play Ron's show while it broadcast, before/after I have recordings of Ron's shows we could use. The title of the gathering could be a "Ron-athon!"

Re: Ron Cameron

I'm happy to report that I had a fine takeout lunch from one of Ron's sponsors, the Cosmic Burrito Tequila Bar. I had the Cosmic Steak Burrito with Rice and Mexican Queso, plus tortilla chips and Cosmic-made red salsa. Reasonably priced and with a very pleasant staff of two, I am of the attitude tha...

Re: NBC 25 News strike??

When I was a Master Control Switcher at WEYI-TV from April to November 1980, the station was a "union shop" with the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET), Local 46. Hiring in with an hourly wage of $3.35/hour, the union contract had my income increased to $3.60/hour st...
