If you ever want to hear a fact based argument vs "belief" based argument, you are getting a crash course tonight. I am enjoying it, thought it is frustrating...but it is entertainment after all. As ridiculous as Jon is. You certainly wont find anything so heated and different on C2C. It certainly is not "snorey".

The constant nearly rude sarcasm from Jon is pretty childish. It is obvious he was never taught manners or civil debate. He frankly sounds like many "tolerant" far leftists I have dealt with over the years, being fairly intolerant himself from what I have heard. As well, everytime Jon states an OPINION he never has a fact to back it up and any fact mentioned to prove him wrong are said to be fake and false information.

Also, a lot of the comments I read on this site really need to be toned down. There is no need for cussing and rudeness. Just because it is "the internet" is no EXCUSE to act rude and insulting. You can articulate an opinion without cussing and harshness. I really wish people would not act different just because they are behind a keyboard. From the looks of it, most people are just here to make jokes and find something to complain about.

Listened to on my PC with headphones on off of the Artbell site direct live stream, while playing SWTOR and killing Jedi scum.

Redacted has SUCH an attractive voice and vocal pattern. I don't think I have ever said that, it sounds strange, but I would really like to see what she looks like just to put a face to the voice. I was not aware she was "anonymous" until today when I looked all over the internet for her info. I wonder what happened to her to make her want to be so hidden, I hope nothing too bad. I know all too well the thibgs that can happen to you because of the internet, so I guess I don't blame her.

I find it disgusting of him and his guest to say the government is capitalizing on the tragic event & use it to take away guns

And here we have another person who fears the truth.

Came home late last night, turned on Wells just in time to hear him say that "...something about Sandy Hook isn't right". Click. Monday I call the station and then the two regular local sponsors and tell 'em I won't darken their door as long as their ads are heard on Wells' C2C shows.  Wells' soft-spoken virulence is insidious and has to go. Or listeners with any decency should.

I guess truth scares you.

Hi All,

I do not wish to string anybody along, stay tuned means just that. Until I was free in terms of non compete there was no
real way I could be on the air anywhere. Premiere has offered me a slot anytime I wish.....I do not wish.

Now that I can indeed return if I wish there is the matter of a venue, I have some offers I am thinking about but have not
decided on anything as of yet. There was a time that I did not want to compete with Coast because I had no wish to destroy
what I built, Premiere has almost managed to change my mind about that.

Doing a show means devoting your life to it, not just "phoning it in", examples of that can be heard nightly. So a decision to
proceed will have to be done right or not at all. This means the creative freedom is first along with the venue.

While doing Coast at one point, instead of taking more money I opted for a restriction on the number of commercial minutes,
a dumb move because as soon as I was gone they came back PLUS. I do what I do because I love it, not for the money.

So, I just now have come to the point that I CAN do something, if I will or not depends on the above. I hope this helps some
of you understand the process. I would rather do nothing than something half-assed.

THIS pretty much just made my day...week...YEAR.

I am new here, but not to CTC.

I started listening to CTC in about 1994-95. I called in a few times and spoke with Art over the years until he quit. CTC got me through alot of times in life and was always there for education and entertainment. There was never, and never has been, radio like Art Bell did it. Since he left CTC has turned into a corporate bore. Noory is so "cut and paste" or "this is just my job" it is nearly nauseating. You can feel it listening to him, honestly. The "New TV Show" (which I am sick of hearing about every 30 min, I actually turn off the radio for the commercial because I am so sick of hearing about it) further puts the knife in and twists it. Having people have to PAY a subscription to watch it is flat out ridiculous. Not to mention most those people probably already pay for the site subscription. RIDICULOUS. I don't say this with a purpose to bash Noory. But, frankly, the only host worth anything on CTC is John B Wells. He at least has some style and spontaneity, you wont find that with Noory. I frankly listen to Clyde Lewis (Ground Zero) on alot of the the nights John B Wells is not on, Clyde is much more like Art was, and I have met him personally. He's a nice guy. 

Anyhow. If Art decided to come back in some fashion you can bet it will be a Global Super Storm. He will get day 1 high ratings. I can guarantee it. We long time "fans" would be all over it like ants on honey. It would be a "day long remembered" as Darth Vader once said. I respect Art's privacy and opinions. His need to "get it right or do nothing at all" is good news to my ears. I greatly anticipate his announcement on his decision. Whatever he decides, he owes us nothing. We are the ones who owe him after all he gave us for years. His raw treatment by Premiere is proof of what is wrong with radio (and CTC) now days. Art knows it, and he did well to stand his ground.

And btw. Please people. Don't turn this thread into a bickering insult fest. Have some respect for Art, and eachother. If I were Art and saw some of the childishness on these forums I'd think twice before returning.

I am new here, but not to CTC.

John B Wells is the only worthwhile host on CTC. I enjoy him. He has style at least. If I know John will be the host I always listen. The show the other night with the voice modulator (Cobra) reminded me of the old Art Bell days. I really enjoyed that spontaneous feeling we used to get with Art. You WONT get any of that with Noory. Noory has become a corporate, boring, uninspired, tool.

As far as Left VS Right. There is no Left VS Right on CTC. It is how the host see's things. Plain and simple. No one is purposefully promoting any specific ideology, other than free thinking. Right VS Left is frankly destroying this country. Stop bickering and saying "only my side is right". It's garbage. Quit calling people on one side "extremists", it's hogwash. Quit taking "sides" and grouping yourself in with other clowns.

Please people. Take your childish bickering elsewhere. Show some respect. Stay on topic.

Now, if we could get Art Bell, John B Wells, and Clyde Lewis together you'd have yourself one HELL of a show!
