Cameron’s big break in the radio business came in September 1978, when he was hired by talk radio station WXYZ-AM to host a sports talk show. That show soon grew in popularity, with Cameron interviewing many famous Detroit sports figures. In September 1980, George Blaha joined Cameron as co-host of Sportstalk. An occasional guest co-host was future ESPN star Dick Vitale, former coach of the University of Detroit and Detroit Pistons basketball teams. At WXYZ, Cameron was publicized as “Superfan” and appeared in advertisements in a Superman-type costume. – Michigan Association of Broadcasters
