WXZY-AM (the current day WXYT-AM) was at the Maccabees Building prior to WDET. I believe WDET used the same facilities WXYZ-AM had. Later on WDTR-FM (now WRCJ-FM) used the Maccabees Building. I don't know if any radio broadcasters currently use the Maccabees location, as Wikipedia states WRCJ's faci...

Bobbert's posting of "Match Game '24" had a lot of truth in that I believe Ron's ultimate goal was to be the center of attention around a group of sports celebrities. I recall Mr. Cameron's stated ideal was to have a restaurant/bar featuring his radio show replete with interviewee(s) center stage.

Thanks for even more clarification!

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the link to Joe LaPointe's column.

The Michigan Association of Broadcasters did a cut-and-paste of the error prone Detroit Free Press obituary: https://www.michiganmedia.com/2024/03/0 ... ies-at-79/

I wonder if Joe LaPointe will write a eulogy for Ron in his Metro Times column?

I recall that after LaPointe's 1979 column was printed, Ron came into the store (Kent Drugs) and was not happy. Mr. Cameron intimated that he and Mr. LaPointe were "through." Evidently they reconciled.

If we can find a place with a CD player, I can make CD's of past shows and we can hear them.

FYI: I was able to record the show with a 60 second break to start the AA and Revolving Door Show which continued the tribute.

Interesting that we heard stories of the Detroit Red Wings players twice(!) paying Ron's "tuition" for umpire school. More from Mr. LaPointe's May 7, 1979 column: "'Ron was living in the Cass Corridor,' says Jim Grandon, 37, a Tigers' season ticket holder who has known Cameron since they met in the ...

Regarding Ron and the Specs Howard School of Broadcasting, from Joe LaPointe's May 7, 1979 column in the Detroit Free Press: "Although he spent two weeks in a broadcast school, Ron's only brush with higher education was a Florida umpires' school 10 years ago."

My accountant reference was a "tip of the hat" to the Buzzboard members.

Your show will be the de facto source for posthumous Ron Cameron information.
