Seriously.
As one of the regular contributors to the Ron Cameron thread, I ask that question about a lot of other threads in this forum.

I sometimes wonder if the moderator of this forum is either:
  • Horrified at the obsessive, epidemic-like persistence of the thread.
  • Impressed by the creative, devotional persistence of the thread.
At the very least, it's a case study in the conversational capacity of one thread of this forum.

Ron's show is awful.However he has a regular caller Mr Positive who is very entertaining.Mr P is the best thing going in Detroit radio.It is only a matter of time before he lands his own show.
The fact that "Mr. Positive" gets through on every show he calls into, including, but not limited to, the heavy accented infomercial star Dr. Annemarie Calendar Colon-cleanser on WJR, only goes to show you how far radio has declined.

But to be fair, I'd rather listen to Mr Positive than Kevin Dietz or Richard Sloan. Those are voices so grating that Colonel Flagg has to change the station.

I see the vainglorious Ron in the mold of Norma Desmond.

Ron Cameron has a much longer resume' than that, and with some noteworthy call letters on it. Sure, maybe he's been around too long, but he's not just some unknown schmoe buying radio time. Give the guy credit, where credit is due. Ron will be around until the bitter end, and that takes a lot of guts.
He is an unknown schmoe. Ask 20 friends and family the same question ProducerXM asked. Who?
"Who???" would probably be the response if you mentioned Al Ackerman or Ray Lane too. It was a long time ago. As another poster mentioned, Ron worked at WCAR. Not the one on 1090 in Livonia. The original WCAR on 1130. They had a fully staffed newsroom, and sports staff. Ron was one of them.

On the No Filter Sports podcast he hosted with Eli Zaret & Denny McLain, Bob Page engaged in the thought experiment about writing a book about all the personalities he had encountered in his long career. Dick Vitale, Bill Frieder, Eli, Denny, Mark Fidrych & “so many others” would each get an entire chapter. “Ron Cameron Crazy," he said, "would be the only guy to get two chapters.”

I am being honest when I say this. I know who Ray Lane was. Think I would even recognize him if I seen him (has he passed?). I remember Ackerman too. Wasn't Lane on 2 and Ackerman on 4?

I had never heard of Ron Cameron before the thread here on Buzzboard. But to be fair, sounds like Cameron was on the radio, while Lane and Ackerman were on TV.

I am going to do something tomorrow. I'm attending a Super Bowl party with I'm guessing 40 to 50 people. I'm going to ask everyone there if they know who Al Ackerman, Ron Cameron and Ray Lane are.

I'm taking a poll. Hopefully Rate This does not file a grievance. It's been awhile since Turkeytop has posted a "You Be The Judge* missive. :)

Lane moved to 50 in I think the 90s.

Ron did do some TV back in the day, winning, with Bob Page, the (cable) ACE Award for best local sports show (when cable was in its infancy):

Thanks for posting the video. I actually did not know what Cameron looked like up.
Yeah, I suppose I could of Googled it by now, but you know how that goes.
