No gabchat chat tonight? wtf!

Whelp a new low. He quit the show before it even started this time.

SiriusXM has a non-compete and he signed a 3-year deal so I"m sure they will hold him to that deal. He isn't coming back anytime soon.

Sirius isn't about to break the floodgate by offering their service for free. That would be a disaster, as every decent show would begin making similar demands.

and then would have 40 minutes of commercials per hour like terrestrial radio. NO THANKS!

Rubbish, "decent" callers could Skype him with amazing clarity, even with a broken stream.  To blame the quality of callers is such a dick move, and plainly an out.

Yup, I agree. He's just looking for any excuse he can. I though the caller quality in terms of IQ was so much better than that crap callers on C2C. It was a night and day difference. The cell phone callers weren't that bad either. It's another weak excuse.

I've never had problems with SiriusXM's stream on my Android phone or via their website. The On Demand stuff has worked flawless for me too. The app is a little clunky though but it hasn't failed to work for me.

I hope there is more to this but if it's true this really hurts his legacy. I'm not too happy at the moment like the rest of us.

What really gets my goat is Noory is somewhere laughing his ass off at this and that is what makes me even more mad.

Has Art ever had Neil Degrasse Tyson on before(C2C)? He would make an excellent guest.

I'm not sure you got this right - I can't see how Riley Martin could be called a low grade imitator of Art. He was just a guest, an alleged abductee, who was on Coast at least three or four times, and probably for whole shows. I don't think he was ever on with Art, but I remember in particular a whole show he did with Ian. He sounds like an older guy, and with his dry, matter-of-fact delivery, I thought he was a scream, although very likely insane. I think he told a story about having a boxing match with his alien abductors, after which he asked them to give him an alien woman as a reward. I would love to hear Riley Martin on DM.

Edit: Having said all that, I just Googled him and I see that he DOES have his own show on Sirius XM, so I guess I stand corrected. Still found him funny. I might tune in to his show now!

The funny thing is the reason Riley has a show on SiriusXM is because of Howard Stern. It started off as a joke on the Stern show they were going to let him do a "show". Well that show he did had so many callers call into the show that they kept the show around.

Art Bell coming back has ended my shitty week on a good note. Thank god something good has happened this week!

I submit to you a simple poll question: Who would make a better C2C host? George Noory or Riley Martin?

I'm in the Riley Martin camp. Even though I think he's a fraud and his abduction/UFO stories are 100% BS, I would replace Noory with him any day. Riley is funny and it would be a riot to here him interview regular C2C guests.  Noory is about as entertaining as watching paint dry.

Didn't Noory say he has time traveled before?

Riley Martin would be a better host.

I don't think Art will come back in either a new full-time show or occasional host on C2C. I believe he's firmly retired now and will devote all his time to raising his kid. It will always feel wierd to me Art found his current wife so quickly after Ramona died. His current wife must have been a mail-order bride.

The guest I will miss the most is Dr. Michio Kaku. Art had some of his best interviews with him. George could never pull off a interview with Michio without a lot of questions being fed too him which is entirely the difference between Art and George. Art could come up with intelligent questions on the fly while George can't.

I don't listen to George at all. The show is too conspiracy focused now and very little Aliens/UFO's/Paranormal stuff for me. Plus I just don't like George as an interviewer as he isn't smart at all when it comes to asking good questions.

I like Knapp too and wish he was the full-time host. Maybe he can start up his own show someday to compete against Snoory.

George is literally killing the show now. Hopefully they can his ass because of this and hire Knapp full time.

George Knapp

Anybody have a link to last night's show? I frigg'n missed it. ><

I enjoy G2G shows thoroughly and I also really enjoy the year end shows Art does for predictions. I just find them interesting for whatever reason.
