Cremeans was one of the founders of the Military Shopping Channel and is now co-host of the nationally syndicated show, My Cool Inventions Radio. He recently returned to HSN as a guest in 2012.

His travels have taken him to networks that have included America's Value Network, CVN - The Cable Value Network and HSN. His most popular shows were CVN's 'SoldOutrageous' where Cremeans and his late night band of characters took to the airwaves to sell anything from gold to electronics and HSN's Sunrise Morning Show where he cohosted with Lynn Murphy and Lori Leland.
Cremeans's broadcast career started while he was a senior in high school when he worked at a local radio station - WIXK & WIXK-FM in New Richmond, Wisconsin doing part-time night and weekend announcing.
