Watch it be something totally stupid just so Art gets a good-hearted laugh, like "Folks, I've finally done it, I gave up salted crackers for the unsalted variety..."

I don't know if you are familiar with that walking plague pit known to the outside world as George Noory? A few years ago he spent a long time trailing a show with a ouija board, and there was all this talk about letting in dark forces and how edgy it all was. He spent ages getting his audience lubed up for the event, and then pussied out of it at the last minute.

I imagine Art has something substantive to tell us, but if he is fucking about then a lot of people will just get pissed off. That's not the same as switching off in disgust, but eventually you erode the patience of your audience and they realise that you are full of shit. I think people understood finally that Noory was a horse's ass after that ouija board episode, and if Art isn't careful they might start to wonder the same thing, despite all the credit he has built up over the years.

I think the shocking is going to be the amount of increased ad space, and the kind of.... Leaving Bellgabers behind. But without a doubt the show is getting bigger, and the only way that happens is if DMDN is the secondary concern at best. His audience is so much bigger than the number of people it is reaching right now, and that needs to be corrected immediately.

MITD is still the big draw into DMDN. I can see it staying on there in some way shape or form.

Oh I agree, not trying to bust Art's chops or anything, just trying to distract myself from dwelling on the slim possibility of bad news.

Since the world is ending on the 23rd, maybe Art has decided to reveal his true identity.  Could it be...

Give the guy a break. Art put the info right on his Facebook page, it was all over the Internet, and Heather herself opened herself up for said criticism by going on air. Seems she has a thicker skin than a lot here when it comes to her one night on the radio. She's doing a good job as producer, why can't people just be happy for her for that?

Anyways... This is a major thread derail.

Yeah, and wasn't that the "un-aired" test show?

This place needs to dial the autism level from 11 back down to something around 5-7.

Holy shit people.

I'm nowhere near 19.5 on the spectrum, yet.

That will save me about 20 seconds each day.

Noory redeemed himself with his on-air performance with a tuning fork.

Haven't read the entire thread so sorry if this has already been suggested.

Art is reversing himself and allowing more commercials so the show can air on more and larger radio stations.

This would take the show to a new level, some will hate Art for it, and it's a good time to become a Time Traveller because the commercials are removed.

I'm more optimistic about this than last night. It's either more commercials, 4 nights a week or something like that.

that would be good news not sure why someone would hate him for having the show grow. A few minutes of commercials is no big deal.

I have a feeling it a co-host or fill in host or something along those lines.


Lord Grantham

He's changing the format of the show, it's going to be renamed "Hotness in the Desert" and be a top 40 countdown show with celebrity interviews.

SredniVashtar

I don't suppose Art has to bother with Viagra any more after reading all this speculation spank talk.

Wintermute

People getting crazy about Art's cryptic musings? Sounds logical.

What could it be?

1. Change in format / time (to bring on major affiliates or adjust for his home life).
2. C2C Weekends... going back to the big show to finish his career and will only broadcast online 2-3 days a week.
3. Retirement... he is putting an end-date for the show out there.
4. The live stream will no longer be free b/c of some fantasy scenario is happening.
5. Art finally figured out that today's "paranormal" guests are largely charlatans and is switching to politics.

I'll be happy for him no matter what goes down. At least he gave his vision a shot and that is more than most folks are willing to do.

Was Art not on the air last night because George wasn't hosting Coast to Coast?

My guess is that it is 1. Why would he retire and start a new FB account?

There will be more commercials for the big boys. This really isn't an issue for me at all. I am a TT and can rarely listen to the show live anyways.

The big announcement is going to be good news.

Art's going to announce a weekend host for MITD.  What did he mean by shock and hate?  Some people will be shocked (perhaps pleasantly) by his selection and some will hate his selection.

It sure doesn't sound like good news. If it were he would say 'Big NEWS Monday!' and not half of the people will be mad and others shocked.

chefist

How badly has the speculation devolved since last night?

1. Art quits and names Falkie the new host.
2. He's sold MITD to Premeire
3. Art is really the anti-christ and will travel into the future with Mad Man leaving us in the lurch



Marc.Knight

"Hate" is a strong work for Art to use.  He would only use this word in reference to a decision to quit, drastically reduce his air time, or dramatically change the program in some fashion.
