If people don't get how BIG of a deal this is, well that's just on them.

I however am beyond happy. I feel like dancing on the ceiling. This is great news.

Rossy, know we luv ya, however I would suspect many of us don't quite comprehend how HUGE a deal this is. How would we? We are not in the biz. That is probably why we are being such pains in the butt.

I too am elated that Art, Keith and gang are going where they both want and need to go and wish them more than every success to get on as many terrestrial stations as possible and beyond.

So is does this new deal include RCH and OSOM also?

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I said some may be shocked, and they will. Some thought we were only "only a "small Internet Show"
Those people will be shocked and not very happy at all.

Art

Hehe!  Ohhhh, those some people.

I was trying to figure out what could possibly shock us short of you making a deal with the devil.

Great promo vid on the live chat thread, Jaz.  One of your best yet.

HI Lone! you would be a great guest for Art!  But I'm sure you've been told that before...

[jazmunda]

Thanks. Share it around. Let everyone know that ....

HI Lone! you would be a great guest for Art! 

Elvira would, lonevoice not so much.   

[ItsOver]

I always thought it was "Dave and the PremRats" that would be shocked...seems they are now! I'm not a radio professional so I never knew what an "XDS feed" was...but this is part of the fun of BellGab and taking "the ride" with Art...super fun! 

Ha!  Pretty sneaky, Art, you little devil, you. )  The scorpions are coming for you, Dave.

[chefist]

Elvira would, lonevoice not so much.   

Come on...from what I have learned, you are an extremely intelligent and interesting person! You are no "Unknown Comic"...you created a character and made a successful "paranormal" career!

Ive heard the Skype network has been down for a few days, will this affect the show?

Art can just use the Telos setup for regular phone calls if Skype goes out.

[PrairieGhost]

Great news and I'll make call's to local stations.

[Mastodonkey]

Skype appears to be back to normal this evening. Finally able to sign in and just had a long call with no issues

ah Thanks. that's good to know

Actually it is big news, we have been content over the last two Months to run our Internet show as is but this move opens the door wide to Radio Stations to pick up the show which is what they have been asking for. It means we come in on the same receiver as every other National show starting Oct 1st.

We also started a Advertising campaign today that will run for a Month on Social Media. We would like to combine this with people calling their local program Manager and requesting the show. The XDS Satallite people will also promo it to the Radio Stations.

Art


P.S. Any help from Bell Gab in making those calls would be great!

Calling KOGO and KFI

[bateman]

Calling KOGO and KFI

Both owned by iheart. Won't work.

[lightningline]

what are the numbers? saying the show is big means nothing. Please give us some statistics.

[ponyboysunset]

I will write to Rollye and see if she is interested with her AM station. 

[whoozit]

Called the non-iheart stations in Nh that are carrying the other show.

[TigerLily]

This is momentous. I would like to request a roadmap in the form of Q&A or contact recommendations.  I contacted radio stations in the Los Angeles - San Diego market and got no reply backs. Can IHeart radio stations run the program or does it conflict with C2C?

Thanks and congratulations on the this BIG NEWS!

Good points Smithy. I'll branch out and contact Cumulus Radio too. Back in the day, a lot of Rock stations also ran C2C when Art was in charge so now Classic Rock Stations would be good targets.

Does this XDS stream mean stations can run it any time or are they locked into 9-12 PT? Anyone here know?

[TigerLily]

Both owned by iheart. Won't work.

Thanks do you know the answer to times it can run?
PS loved your show on HH/the Ripper

I believe it can only be carried live, but I'm not positive. Best to check the website or ask Keith or Art directly.

And thank yeeewwww!

ooooo i missed that show..will have to go listen now

[AppealPlay]

According to the affiliate agreement, stations *may* be permitted to run the show on a delay however they don't recommend it.

[Jocko Johnson]

It's a huge deal because if enough people call and request the show on their local channel it could knock Coast to Coast off of the air. Or at least partially. I'm not sure what time Dave is on, as I am always asleep at these times and listen the next day!

I can't help but laugh now remembering Dave posting his infamous 'I'm the king of talk radio' a few months back. I wonder how many people at premier are freaking out right about now?

And for those who missed it here it is :

Premrat's hq must look like the NY Stock Exchange in 1929 on the day of the great depression,  all the exec's taking headers out their offices windows!!!! dave and ten ton running around trying to catch them with a net!

[coaster]

I am the KING of late night radio. Long live the new KING!!! I deserve the crown.

Oops.

[serenity]

I guess I will have to go visit Dr Long seeing as Houma is home to the Serenity clan. This should be a great show. Looking forward to it. Make it good Art as always.

You guys kept him fighting the good fight for the last couple of years... give yourself some credit. It is so great to know Art won this battle in the end with those idiots at Sirius. There is no one like Art and there never will be again.

Everyone is really hard on Noory but to be fair, how the hell do you follow an act like Art Bell? (Before you guys start jumping on me...I know he's a corporate whore, ok? But I also don't think he had much of a choice.)

For me it's like seeing the little guy beat the big corporation - that's a good feeling. Today everyone who follows Art won.
