During Cameron's time at WXYZ, the sports talk format spread to other radio stations in the Detroit area, including WJR-AM, where Frank Beckmann hosted Sports Wrap starting in 1981. The increasing popularity of sports talk radio in the Detroit area later led to all-sports stations like WDFN and WXYT-FM. Before Cameron entered sports talk radio, one of the few such shows in the Detroit area was hosted from 1967 to 1970 on WXYZ-AM by WXYZ-TV sportscaster Dave Diles.
