Actually it is big news, we have been content over the last two Months to run our Internet show as is but this move opens the door wide to Radio Stations to pick up the show which is what they have been asking for. It means we come in on the same receiver as every other National show starting Oct 1st.

We also started a Advertising campaign today that will run for a Month on Social Media. We would like to combine this with people calling their local program Manager and requesting the show. The XDS Satallite people will also promo it to the Radio Stations.

P.S. Any help from Bell Gab in making those calls would be great!

Roswells, Art

This is wonderful! I'll call from my corner of the world.

ART, I'm with you bro. But I would like to suggest that to celebrate you do an on air Scotch tasting.  You know, to set the mood for this next big step.

Whoa.  Art Bell started his own thread on Bellgab.  Now *that* is shocking!   ;D

Way to go, Art.  I'll be contacting several PDs and station managers this week.  Is there any way we can get the copy of how the XDS people are approaching the stations with their promo?  It might help to have a better idea of what they think would be most affective.

I just contacted a station here in Virginia.  There's only one talk station in my market that isn't owned by "the other guys" but I let them know that The Man is back.

I've been promoting that! And Steve is trend setting with the unsolved crime gendre....either he is too modest to admit he just pulled off one of the best podcasts ever or he is ignoring us fans.... ;D

Art, you must consider Steve Warner as your weekend host...he's the total package!

I've never been entirely comfortable with the attention, so all I can say is thank you.  :)

And congrats, Art. Maybe an ad in Talkers would be a good idea?


Art, I get the impression from your FB that there may be quite a few people who think the "4,000 stations" are already on board to carry MitD starting October 1.  I suggest a clear statement from you  would be really helpful.  Also, please consider posting, at artbell.com, a Call Tip Sheet for blitzers to use when approaching station managers and PDs.

Oh, yeah, congratulations, and when you listen to Steve Warner's latest podcast at darkcity.fm/, listen to it like it's an audition tape.

One thing is for sure. I'm listening to the first few minutes of c2c to listen to how Noory tries to play this off.

Good for you Art.  Go big or go home right ?  I'm on board.  I'll start calling the stations here in the ATL asking for some Art !!!

That is such good news, Art. Congratulations! I only wish my show, 'The Outsider: Messages From Beyond' was still played on Dark Matter Digital Network. It was for quite some time, but then I changed the format to a one hour live show 7-8pm PST on weeknights and Keith has yet to pick it up. It is run with StreamGuys too.

Any way we can make that happen, Art? I'd love to be part of the parade.

Most stations have twitter or Facebook accounts so it couldn't hurt posting this video on your social media and mentioning you local station.

Something like:

Hey @WXYZ Art Bell is Back!

Jazmunda: Can you please give instructions?  Do you mean to post this video on facebook or whatever and then mention the station number?  Some of us are new to this.  Sorry, I know it sounds lame, but I want to do all I can.

I contacted my only two stations in North Florida-

WJHC 107.5 FM Jasper, Florida

WJTK  96.5 FM  Lake City, Florida

I hounded CFRB Toronto like crazy when you first launched MITD and they picked the show up, both on AM and short wave. I won't take any credit for that, as I'm sure there were many who phoned and emailed to get the show on.

640 AM here is a power station (CFMJ) however they carry the "other" show. All you Toronto or Ontario people ( huge market in Canada), lobby CFMJ and other smaller stations in your area to pick up MITD.

What about you other tasty Canadians? Toronto has the only station carrying MITD!!

Get off your butts and phone and email. There are large markets in Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Vancouver etc. and smaller markets across the country.

This is now an international program...make Canada proud and get Art and MITD on a station in your area.
