My two favorite hosts.....I miss Ian.  Thank God we now have Schrader.

Me too. I hope Ian's tinnitus is improving.. feel bad for the guy to have to deal with that. Sounded pretty awful.

Noory isn`t going anywhere.

It`s not as if he suddenly turned to crap. He`s always been crap as a host. Yet, they still keep signing him. Noory is a company man. I reckon that pretty much says it all.

Exactly.... he'll do whatever PremRat wants him to do. They will never get or care what their audience thinks. They'll simply assume other listeners will always be around replace the irritated ones that have quit listening. Shows do evolve I get that. I'm not asking C2C to ever be what the Art Bell C2C was. But it definitely should not be this crap.

What is C2C coming to these days with the subject of the night "George's Birthday Bash"... 

These shows in general are just getting worse and worse with topics, same old thing all the time. Dave Schrader has been kind of a breath of fresh air in my opinion as his shows actually have been interesting. Knapp's show the other week about the missing persons in parks was chilling and good too. The rest? Not becoming worth the "23 cents a day". 

Random, but anyone know what the symbolism/meaning of Art's chain/necklace he has in so many photos? I've seen it in pics, he also wore it in a 1999 CNN interview I just saw the other day on YouTube. Pic below (just ignore that guy on the left in the pic).

So I've been keeping an eye on C2C's social media and sites for today... I really think Art Bell's show is going to cause quite a hit in their ratings. EVERYONE knows about Art Bell's return. I expected it to get a lot of press, but it's really a good deal larger and beyond what even I thought it would be. A lot of C2C listeners seem ready to make the switch some September. I wonder what the ratings will look like for both shows at year's end.

Yeah I think for a while (ie: Facebook) anytime C2C posts anything - they're going to get a ton of comments only about Art. I'm sure that's gonna irritate em, but oh well! 

So think Art will also do a Ghost to Ghost style Halloween show and a New Years predictions show???  heee!

There is no way Dave could not be aware of it. Art put it right in his press release last night that he doesn't like Dave's show. Plus, he has slammed it very, very hard on his Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Yeah but we know how Noory reads and listens. (Thinks of that brilliant mp3 the other day)

Article: "Bell isn't a fan, saying he considers Noory "not edgy enough."
Noory: "Why thanks Art, I'm glad you love the show and listen often! Let's go to some email now! Thanks again Art for that pleasant review!"

I'm sure Noory is aware that Art has a sour taste in his mouth on how the program developed over the years. And I'm sure maybe they're a little peeved and being cold to any talk about Art right now. I love Art but without Art it will never be the same C2C. That's a given, Art should realize when you let it in someone else's hands it's gonna change. But on the other hand George should respect his opinion and thank him for the chance he was given and where he is now.

I love how Ian said it the other night (week) when he gave props to John Wells and admitted they don't always agree on things but at least respect and get along.

Noory's call screeners are also apparently on alert now and stopping any caller from mentioning Art Bell and his new deal too.

Not surprised... they (Premiere/Noory) I'm sure are dodging the conversation anytime they can. I wonder if they'll allow any comments on Art in Noory's C2C Insider chats.

And Knapp is a class guy as some have commented. I've emailed him a few times in the past and he's always responded and been very cool.

What's terrible is now not only am I looking close to see if the bar moved with my F5 hits, but I'm constantly viewing the source code for the update pan style="width: 85%

I think I'll see if George has any good guests on tonight for my problem. But he probably just has someone on about numbers or something.

Lol got an error message reloading coast gab. Server overloaded?

Just Snoory hitting F5 on every workstation at his radio station trying to find every piece of info on Art. You know he's a lil jumpy right now... he might stutter tonight during C2C a few times once midnight comes around.

"East of the Rockies you're on the air" "Art!" "Now wait a minute. I know we aren't screening callers, but George I'm sorry but you cannot call this line again, not from St. Louis, not Los Angeles, not again..and NO calling the wild card line! (Art chuckles) I'm sorry but I'm not taking resumes right now. Next caller PLEASE!"

I kid you not. I opened a CoastGab tab and a Pandora tab (I have a meditative relax channel I created it always defaults on at startup) and what comes on? The Oh of Pleasure.... I am pumped!

Maybe WWE will allow this scenario, how fun would that be:

** Steel Cage Match **

Art Bell (with George Knapp in his corner) vs. George Noory (with  Glynis McCants) in an all out brawl inside a steel cage.

Referee Ian Punnett

Guest Ring announcer with the voice he has: John B Wells

Special Moves: Art Bell: "Area 51 Abductor Punch" and George Noory: "Sleeper hold by the mere sound of his voice!"

(ding ding ding! and it's on!)

I remember listening once and Jorch said "Art's gone... he's no longer with us" and made it sounds like he had passed away.

I remember that too and thinking....Jorch just repeats that over and over til he believes it. One word "d-e-n-i-a-l" Georgie.

And the fact that PremRat just signed George to a long term deal just shows they're putting all their eggs in a basket with Noory and are ready to put him in front of the troops on the battle line against Art. Little do they know either Noory is gonna duck and run away, or PremRat has no idea what kinda of ammo Art is about to bring against them.

So lets say Art does something like Cumulus or Sirius. As a person who has never used either, and has been a StreamLink (or whatever it is these days subscriber) what and how would I listen to Art on those two broadcast options? On demand or are they only broadcast at that time of night only? And can I pay a monthly cost just for an Art show or do I pay an "internet stream" monthly payment? Hopefully its not like $20 a month for example, I really just would want to hear Art. Though I'd be giving up my C2C $6.95 once Art was back.

)))) Bows to Gandalf50 for his share ((((

I feel like putting on some pots of coffee so I can hit F5 all night on my browser! 

Thanks! Glad to be here. Been a Coast fan since 1995. Been a lurker for sometime and finally thought "why the heck am I not chiming in?"

I thought you were joking.  Too bad we can't get the IP address of the poster.

Right.... people with too much time on their hands... ah well.

Forgive me if I didn't read back enough if someone already posted this. But whose the wise guy that updated Art Bell on Wiki that he died today?

George Noory was that you?
