Re: Ron Cameron

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...

Re: Ron Cameron

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...

Re: Global Sarnia-Oil Springs

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...

Re: Ron Cameron

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...

Re: Ron Cameron

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...

Re: Ron Cameron

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...

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?

This is sad. The Holiday Blues are a real threat to mental health and can even pop up before Christmas. If anyone is experiencing them, please call 988.
I haven't heard that being the cause anywhere.

Re: Matt Sheppard Sucks!!!!

Got further word - DTE was doing some work in the neighborhood and blew out the area near the broadcast truck area. They had backup power but not enough to maintain two broadcasts.

Re: Matt Sheppard Sucks!!!!

Ooops! Something very bad has happened with Bally Sports' connection from Comerica Park. Tonight's broadcast is audio only on a connection that's not even as good as your iPhone on speaker. Ol' Shep says it's a power outage. My spy told me one of the park's server rooms had a pretty bad failure a f...
