Re: Ron Cameron

I drive by the Cosmic Burrito on Grand River and can't help but think of Ron's ads for them. As a result of their sponsoring Mr. Cameron's show, I was a (very satisfied) customer. I once showed the bartender/cashier the positive words I wrote about them on the Buzzboard, with an amazed response from ...

Re: WPON's AA and Revolving Door Show

Thanks to the late Ron Cameron, I have found myself listening to WPON much more over the past few years. Kudos to Aaron for improving the quality of WPON's broadcasts.

Re: 1270 to Begin

Listening to the station around 12:30pm today I was hearing rap music I haven't heard in years, e.g. "The Humpty Hump." Right before the hourly ID, the listener was promised sports rap by day with classic rap at night.

Re: Ron Cameron

Another recent discovery, albeit too late. (Wouldn't it have been fun to have a "psychedelic" Ron Cameron radio show t-shirt?): https://www.instagram.com/lll_the_way_out_lll/

Re: Ron Cameron

Count me in for the the AA Revolving Door Show finale. Regarding the locale of the Ron Cameron/Monte Clark photograph: "Mr. K's (sic) Lounge" probably refers to Mr. Kay's Lounge on East Eight Mile. Ron's broadcasts from that location are mentioned in Joe LaPointe's July 30, 1982 column in the ...

Re: Ron Cameron

Bobbert, thanks for the contact information regarding Motor City Radio Flashbacks. As I've mentioned earlier I have recorded much, if not most of the last few years of Ron's broadcasts. In spite of Mr. Cameron's insistence that his WDTK emanations were being saved as podcasts, I knew better and ...

Re: WPON's AA and Revolving Door Show

Reading the newer Instagram links, the prospect of re-airing shows is mentioned. Could you please repeat the Northern Soul show with advance mention?

Re: WPON's AA and Revolving Door Show

I missed the Northern Soul show as well. Please make it available. PS. A good song for Aaron's last show (May 10th) would be the Northern Soul classic "I'm On My Way" by the late Dean Parrish.

Re: CKWW sounds like hot garbage

As the hum continues, the sound reminds me of my stereo system in the 1970's. If the turntable wasn't grounded, a hum occurred. Perhaps something at CKWW isn't grounded?

Re: WDET celebrates 75 years of Public Radio

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 ...
