## Career
### Early career

Cameron began his career working as a sports journalist in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. After filling in for his friend DJing in a nightclub there, he decided to quit journalism and do nightclub DJing full time.

### Radio career

Having worked as a nightclub DJ in Dubai for a while, Cameron was offered a job at Abu Dhabi's radio station, Emirates Radio. Six months after joining, he was presenting the breakfast show and later switched to the drivetime slot before ultimately becoming station manager. On 11 September 2001, having mentioned in a UK newspaper feature that he would like to come back to live in Scotland, Cameron had an interview for Real Radio in Glasgow, which he joined later that month as the station's sports editor. In 2002, he and Alan Rough became co-hosts of The Real Radio Football Phone In, which they presented together for eight years; the show was also broadcast on television on Setanta Sports. In December 2010, Cameron was announced as the new host of the Real Radio breakfast show, taking over from former Scot FM DJ Robin Galloway. "This is a fantastic opportunity to host the Breakfast Show on Scotland's No.1 commercial radio station and one that I'm honoured to take," Cameron said. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Football Phone In, but now I will get the chance to actually go and watch the football, instead of just talk about it!"
January 2011 marked the beginning of a long working relationship between Cameron and Cat Harvey. They continued in the breakfast slot when the station rebranded as Heart FM Breakfast in May 2014. Cameron left the station to pursue other opportunities and was replaced by Robin Galloway when the normal weekday scheduled resumed on 5 January 2015, after the weekday schedule changed during the Christmas season.
On 9 August 2015, Cameron and Harvey became hosts of the Sunday mid-morning show between 9.00am - 12.00pm on the Hits Radio Scotland Network as part of the Bauer Media Group, including Clyde 1, Forth 1, MFR, Northsound 1, Tay FM and West FM. Cameron began presenting solo at breakfast Monday to Friday from 10 September 2018, the show was now called Ewen Cameron in the Morning broadcasting live from the Radio Clyde studios in Glasgow between 6.00am - 10.00am on Clyde 2, Forth 2, MFR 2, Northsound 2, Tay 2 and West Sound, with West Sound Dumfries & Galloway picking up the show from July 2019 onwards In December 2020, it was announced Harvey would reunite with Cameron for Ewen & Cat at Breakfast on Greatest Hits Radio Scotland weekdays. Their show is broadcast live from the Radio Clyde studios in Glasgow from 06:00 to 10:00am. In October 2021, the duo stepped down from the Sunday mid-morning slot, with Greig "Greigsy" Easton taking over.
Cameron can also be heard on The Big Scottish Football Show (previously The Big Saturday Football Show), which is broadcast on Forth 1 every Saturday afternoon, alongside Steven Mill. Launched on 17 October 2020 to rival Superscoreboard on Clyde 1, the show features a mix of music, sport and entertainment. In July 2022, Cameron and Mill began hosting The Big Scottish Football Podcast.
