It all started at a 250-watt radio station in New Glasgow. While in high school, Frank hung out at CKEC and begged for work. He said, “my knees were full of scratches from being down on them so often.” Finally, after he got out of high school, the station hired him. He spent a year learning his craft, and he was lured to the Town of Truro in 1956. Frank spent three wonderful years at CKCL. In 1959, he moved to the big city of Halifax and went to work for the oldest radio station in the province. He spent eight years there and when the station went Top 40 (or Top 60), Frank enjoyed the notoriety and the station garnered 65 per cent of the available Halifax radio audience. While at CHNS, he was offered a Television show at CBC Halifax. The show was a national program called Music Hop and the Halifax version was known as Frank’s Bandstand.

In 1967 Frank traded in his 45’s for a full time job at the CBC. He did radio and television for almost 30 years until he retired from the Corporation in 1995. But Frank wasn’t finished. He returned to CHNS for another ten years. In 2005, he decided he had enough and left CHNS. Frank was 67 years old. Along came Wayne Harrett, GM of Seaside FM and asked if he would like to volunteer at the community station. Frank is now in 80s and enjoying every minute of it!

In November of 2023, Frank decided to hang up his microphone and retire. November 8th, 2023, 105.9 Seaside FM highlighted the illustrious and legendary career of Frank Cameron on a 4 hour “Frank Cameron Retirement Tribute” show.

Sadly, Frank Cameron passed away on January 20th, 2024.
