Grain of salt anyone?

For me it's the entire shaker...

Either way, this was tasteless of Lear, IMO

Okay, what's with George playing Disturbed's Sound of Silence cover on Sunday nights?

Can I switch to the universe where Art never retired in 2003?

There hasn't been a new episode in nearly a month.  I think it's dead.

Has Ghost Art passed over yet ...



Still waiting at the light, debating over whether it's a trick or not.

When you think that pretty much happened over 3 days it was an amazing chunk of wtfness packed into a short amount of time.

Midnight in the Desert had 4 hosts in damn near as many days: Tim W's last show, Tim O's abortion of an episode, Heather Wade's 1 day delusion of grandeur, and Art Bell on repeats.

Gotta admit, with the shit show that went down, Dave certainly got out when the getting was good.

Noory probably considers this new "added feature" for coast insiders a "tribute" to Art...  8)

They'd probably get better ratings if they played nothing BUT those classic episodes...

Yep, but maybe/hopefully they find some missing tapes or shows?

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/art-bell-vault-secrets-revelations/

To be honest, I have been hoping that happens.  I mean, SIT has been a godsend for collectors, too.  I may sub for a month a few years from now if they're still doing it, just to binge DL ones I may be missing.

So, I see that C2C is digging through the vault for Art shows.  Don't they know that the tape traders beat them to it almost half a decade ago?

She did have a nice voice.  Now it's awful.  They mystery is why she changed it so dramatically

She sounds, now, like she perpetually has a cold.

John B Wells takes over hosting MITD after Ms. Wade is arrested
Premiere Networks buys MITD
Premiere Networks promptly fires John B Wells

Midnight in the Desert is renamed using the old Coast to Coast Live name.

I can't believe Savage is actually on the radio today. He's broadcasting from D.C. where he's a guest at the White House for the Macron state dinner. He never resists an opportunity to take the day off.

Savage and Bell are the same age and a lot alike. I recently learned of Savage's remarks about Bell and the ensuing lawsuit. I'm surprised Savage didn't just apologize.

Savage seems to hate what he does most days. He longs to have a less-political format. He wants to talk about what he enjoys, just like Art, and a lot of their interests overlap. But Savage is such an angry SOB so much of the time that he could never develop a similar rapport with callers. Both exuded ego but Savage's often manifests in pretty uncomfortable radio.

Savage doesn't seem to be the type to apologize about anything.

You ever think George gets a little jealous that no one will make a "Ultimate George Noory Collection" archive of tapes?

IMHO, Knapp and Punnett are close but not quite Art.  Definately the same ballpark.  I think John B. Wells was in there at one time before he went way off the deep end...I've never been able to listen to Lisa Garr so I don't know if she's good or not.  I just can't stand her voice. 

Noory, if anything, has gone downhill.  His early program were quite good when he was trying to earn rights to the fulltime gig; listen to his interview with 'Bishop' Sean Manchester.  Noory is actively listening and asking good questions.  Now, he phones it in....

Telly

I could never get into Wells, to be honest.  He was the kinda guy, to me, that would say that a massive conspiracy was responsible for him stubbing his toe that morning.

We're all meeting up outside the gates in Pahrump, with Art Bell shirts, stiff drinks, and somebody in a van blasting the Pointer Sisters. He's bound to show up after dark, one way another.  Or at least the cops will.

Do it on a Friday or Saturday so you can get on Live PD.

My first experience with C2C and Art Bell was back in 2003 with the GIS.  Scared the shit out of me and I couldn't wait for more.

I always thought the 'ouija' story didn't exist.  I feel like it was just something Art used to spin up a mystery for his listeners.  Radio is "theater of the mind" after all.

I honestly think that at one point he realized that no matter what happened, he couldn't tell it because it had grown to such legendary proportions that nothing short of Satan showing up in person would seem like a disappointment.

As I’ve said before, I worked in broadcasting. Tape back then cost a good bit of money to buy and required a lot of space to store. Television, in which I worked, is more expensive than radio, but at the stations where I worked, shows were kept for a week at most. File video was stored for a longer time, but that amounted to any a few minutes per broadcast week. Point being, how many of the old Art shows actually exist? When iHeart claims ownership, does it actually have physical copies, or is it only talking about copyright?

Second, releasing the old shows would cost iHeart money, too, as they would have to be digitized. That means finding a working, appropriate tape player and having at least one employee dub the tape over. That has to occur in real time. If it’s a four hour show, it would take about four hours to digitize. That’s a lot of expense, though it might be monitized by broadcasting the shows. Paying to digitize Art’s shows would be less expensive than creating new content. And iHeart needs content for all those stations.

Anyway, I’m all in favor of bombarding iHeart with emails. I’ll channel Keith and send one from each of my accounts.

Not to mention this: why do the work when the tape traders already have?

I'm like 99% there was no stalker.

Maybe it was Keith, because good Lord, he's going apeshit on those poor sheriffs on FB.

A great point.  Maybe not crocodile tears but a sense of relief.

Although. now dead, his misdeeds are shoved aside and he becomes mythological. (Think Paul McCartney after Lennon's murder.)  Maybe that's why he's upset. Snoory can't compete with a ghost coast to coast.

"Crocodile tears" was the very phrase I thought of last night.

Jorch: "We are so saddened to hear about Art's untimely passing, but have a look at these products!"

That freakin' pissed me off right there.  He goes right into shilling.

So, uh, is Art going to guest host MitD anytime soon?

That'd be one hell of an EVP show.

Yeah, I don't know how torrents "work" (like if they can be updated or new one would need to be posted/hosted?) But now that Art is over, again, the 'ultimate' torrent needs to have the shows. I love the idea of combo scenarios: some with commericals etc some without (because a decade from now, like with the current torrent is now, the commercials, news, etc can be fun to hear.) Even include some of the "new" Somewhere In Times.

williedee deserves lifetime recognition for the original work done, even if not updated.

Yeah, the torrent was a lifesaver, especially on long walks.  I'd just plug in a show on the old MP3 player and away I go.  As for an updated torrent, I'd love for someone to do it, especially as some of the latest Somewhere in Time's have had shows that weren't on the original release.  As for MITD, I'd wait until a bit longer, maybe until the archive for subscribers is finally taken down (and it will be, eventually).

Didn't listen last night.  Did George do his "subtle" gloating like he did last time?

Art should move and not give his location out. His home in Parump has become legendary over the years and its altogether too public. I think moving would be a better solution than ending the show since the stalker knows where he is still. Fuck A hole stalkers

You think people wouldn't notice several thousands of dollars worth of antennas suddenly popping up?  It would get out in under a year.

Yep Noory has no shame, c2c still plays 90% from Art's classic bumper music list.
The few times Noory picks his own music is on Friday nights, when they play a few Frank Sinatra songs, theme from the children's show Fireball XL-5, and of course the UFO-Phil song.

Noory even had the audacity to mention recently that he saw the movie "The Martian" and said they were playing all of "HIS" bumper music...  :P

The one that really ticked me off was back during the Dark Matter days and Noory played the Dreamland theme for the first time in ages, IIRC.  I think he also played Ride My Seesaw soon after Dark Matter ended.

He's advising people to join Time Travellers...  Did he get the rights to his old C2C and/or Sirius shows?
