Cameron will return to the airwaves on WAMJ-FM Majic 107.5/97.5 for afternoons from 2-6pm beginning Monday, November 5. Most recently, he anchored AM drive at Entercom crosstown Urban AC WVEE-FM (V-103) in Atlanta. Cameron has won two Emmys, received two Marconi nominations and was inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame.

“Cameron is rejoining the company after establishing himself as one of the most successful radio personalities in the region,” said Urban One CEO Alfred Liggins. “We are making a 360-degree deal to leverage and develop his brand utilizing access to our radio, television and digital assets, which reach more than 80-percent of African Americans. It’s a win win.”

“It is a dream come true to add Ryan’s amazing talent to our line up,” said Regional VP and GM Tim Davies. “Majic is truly the Real Sound of Atlanta. We have the all-star team in the ATL.” This will be Cameron’s second stint with Radio One Atlanta. He hosted the Ryan Cameron Morning Show on Hot 107.9 for eight years in the early ‘90s.

Cameron’s radio career and various appearances on television and film has afforded him the opportunity to work across platforms, and earlier this year, he became a partner in Threaded.agency, a new Atlanta-based branding firm.

“In this new model, my recent and my on-going experience at Threaded.agency will let me help companies and brands in a way that impacts their audience in a positive way,” stated Cameron. “I’m very excited because I’m not only coming back to work with a phenomenal company but also doing it in a new model that was not possible earlier in my career. This is something I just couldn’t pass up.”
