How many shows did Art do?

[ItsOver]

Primarily curious about the total number of C2C shows Art hosted over the years.  I've been wondering about how many shows could end up as a SIT broadcast.

I know C2C morphed from a local political-based show that Art did, until he got bored with that and started talking about other stuff.... then the show was noticed by the right people and syndication eventually happened.

Somewhere around 89/90/91, I heard my first batch of C2C shows, I think.  It wasn't for another five or so years that I started listening regularly.  I don't know if it was called Coast to Coast back then, but it was Art Bell talking abotu Bigfoot and aliens.  This was in Oregon, BTW.

As far back as Dec. 12, 1992, the earliest show we have, he was calling it Coast to Coast.

I figure it will take them 25 years (!) to run out of candidates for SIT shows.  At least under the present scenario.

       1,581  minus 334 SIT shows = 1,247 / 50 = 25 years

They've drawn SIT from 1994-2002 almost exclusively.  I wish they'd widen it to 1990-1993 too.  But on the assumption they won't....

Let's see, they started SIT in 2007, so we've had ~7 years already. 7 x ~50 shows a year - that's about 350 weeks for SIT shows - that roughly checks out with the number we have to date (334).  They do repeat them on occasion.  Subtracting those already broadcast as SIT, that leaves 1,247 possible candidates for SIT or about 25 years' worth. 

Hmmm.  They could EASILY widen it to 1990-1993, put out 2-3 or more SITs a week and still get vast mileage out of this.  That is if those years are available to them.

coast to coast started in 1988. before that it was west coast am. i doubt many recordings exist prior to 1994,thus premier doesnt have them. the ones ive seen were recorded off the radio.perhaps art and/or Kieth Rowland has them, i do not know.

Next time (if there is a next time) MV gets Art on the phone he should ask.  Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks for running the numbers.  I thought it had to be in the thousands.  I hope PremRat has the sense to run SIT for the foreseeable future.  A lot of enjoyable shows to look forward to and no doubt a number I didn't hear when they were originally broadcast.

At this point, the number of shows he didn't do is probably greater than the number he did.

[PB the Deplorable]

I wonder how many shows the Grateful Dead had

[phrodo]

What about his Dreamland shows? Anyone know how many of those he did. I really like Dreamland... and that totally cozmic 'Oh of Pleasure' theme.

[ksm32]

If that big list is correct I'm missing about 1000.

What a pisser

Art did about 250 Dreamlands from 1994-99

Before that, Dreamland was Area 2000.  Would love to hear some of those.

[jan78]

about 250 Dreamlands from 1994-99

250 wasn't right. It was about 210.  Sorry about that
