Snoory Sucks Shout Out During Open Lines

[Dixie Butcher]

Ian's callers say that from time to time. HE always goes into this self-deprecating number:  "Nooooo you don't - no no NO you don't - "  Then moves them on to what they have to say like lightening.

Whereas George lets them go on for awhile - then does an obviously insincere and brief self-deprecating thing, then lets them go on a bit more and then if they have a subject they called about, other than to compliment him,  he'll usually just sit there and wait for them to say, "And the other thing I called about is..."

Whitley was like that, too.  He was kinda bitter that he got passed over, if I recall correctly,  and had said that The Powers That Be had basically told him that his voice wasn't gonna fly.  Why the hell not?  Premiere has loads of talent with screwy voices.  And Whitley's isn't even screwy.

Dunno - I personally think Whitley is a better guest than a host. He doesn't host his OWN shows much anymore and was quite up-front about people complaining he TALKED TO DAMNED MUCH!

[Spikegirl]

THAT'S THE GUY!!!  Thank you, Spikegirl.  That woulda drove me nuts.  Yeah, his voice is something else - but he also has the intellect to back it up.  You know, a lot of people who aren't really even Noory fans still say that he has a great radio voice, but I don't think it's anything special at all.  And then Ian often trashes his own voice for radio, and I enjoy his voice and style - it's unique.  Whitley was like that, too.  He was kinda bitter that he got passed over, if I recall correctly,  and had said that The Powers That Be had basically told him that his voice wasn't gonna fly.  Why the hell not?  Premiere has loads of talent with screwy voices.  And Whitley's isn't even screwy.

I don't think Noory's voice is any great shakes either. And when he goes into '50's MC mode, it really sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Welles just oozes sex with each word he utters.

Another cool thing about Welles is he's actually done stuff.  Lots of stuff.  and still does stuff.  For instance ghost hunting, parachuting,  voice over work,  he's won a bunch of awards which he never brags on like some people we know....

Noory really hasn't done shit, ever.  When  I interviewed him I asked him if he'd ever done any ghost investigating and what was his actuall experience and he tried to skirt the question,  then quickly said he'd been to a cemetery -  :::::roll eyes:::::   who hasn't ?

i'll bet he's seen a few scary movies, too.

That's where he gets all his life experience from. Sometimes a guest will say something and Snoory will respond with "Just like in (fill in the movie)" in an excited tone, like his entire body of knowlege of how the world works comes from movies.

LOL!  OH GOD!!!  Speaking of movies - does anyone here remember when he was constantly referring to "Eyes Wide Shut" ?  He did it for at least a couple of years -  it was like he does now with angels - he'd just try to apply it to everything.  And once the guest said to him,  "Yes - but how did it end?"  and Noory blabbered some syllables and moved on.

And of course, you're dead right again, Spikegirl -  if I hear about "The Body Electric" one more time I will puke.  Again.  I can honestly say I've puked while listening to him. More than once.

And once again,  this proves his inability to socialize with actual people.  He does - and he has a very small repetoire to choose from, as well.   He can cite several Twilight Zones, a couple Star Treks,  Eyes Wide Shut,  the latest James Bond movie,  It's a Wonderful Life....  what else?  I can't think of any others.

What about Contact? I alway hear him referencing that!

[Dixie Butcher]

Oh hell yeah - that's constant, isn't it?  Good one !

[PhantasticSanShiSan]

Superman, Star Wars, A couple old westerns...

[Frys Girl]

This is all so entertaining and fun. However, I was thinking that maybe we could put our will to some other uses.

Is it possible to petition Premier Radio? Go door to door. Whatever. Get signatures in support of pulling Snoory Mcsnore off the radio?

Yea George is totally a clandestine drinker.... the worst kind. He probably makes his poor urologist listen to prove that he doesn't drink.

   Yes I have pondered the same types of things as you Fry Girl.  I then reckoned that he has a contract, and as much as it pains me, his ratings are apparently pretty good.  I don't think there is much of a chance of getting rid of  him by protest.

I agree - as kiss-ass as it sounds - I am MUCH more committed to MV's success as the anti-George than I am to a futile attempt to recreate C2C in it's old image.  It's partly affection, and partly pragmatism. Nice when those things can coexist.

a rare combination, indeed!

I'm not sure how or by who talk-radio ratings are determined. Or if any surveys are conducted. I listen to talk-radio exclusively these days, but have only been requested to do music-format surveys and ratings.

I'm not much on having talk-radio program hosts also do commercials, using the show's own format to give it credibility. Now, I can understand hosts mentioning sponsors during the program -- as is done with Fox-Sports Radio. But when hosts, namely people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, use current events posing as news comment or analysis as cover to "lead into" sponsor endorsements, it diminishes the program's integrity. There should be a line between editorial and advertising. As I knew working in the major-daily newspaper field.

Maybe times have changed, but I haven't heard of advertisers buying space on the opinion-editorial pages. Sure, I'm not naive enough to feel some journalists may have some slant to support an advertiser. But, it's so blatant on some major news-talk radio programs these days, as to render things downright laughable.

I especially remember Limbaugh harking on last year about how tough times are getting for Americans. Or how they must be losing sleep. The solution? That Select Comfort bed thing! Shameless. Or, when that woman asked Limbaugh's advice on how to use her tax refund, got the "buy the Select Comfort bed thing" bit. Further shamelessness. Perhaps such products are worth every dime, but let listeners determine that for themselves -- instead of trusting those they trust to tell them so.

Or Beck running off about the decline of the U.S. Dollar so many times. Then quickly offering some "Goldline," sponsor-driven resolution to his previous news commentary.

I'll conclude those "promo codes" hosts provide to listeners do go a long way in determining the sponsors' advertising effectiveness. To gauge what shows are the most viable, and what shows aren't.

Coast-To-Coast AM is syndicated through Premiere Radio Networks. There's a business. As long as people patronize its advertisers -- who continue to provide revenue -- things stay as they are. All I'd suggest is to tune out Coast-To-Coast AM entirely. Do not support its advertisers. Sure, the network will seek other sponsors, but eventually that well will run dry.

Again, I dislike the way Coast-To-Coast AM these days introduces, plays up -- or envisions -- certain disaster scenarios or catastrophes to suit its sponsors. That is among the reasons I gave up tuning into Mr. Noory on Coast-To-Coast AM.

I understand guests are not paid for their appearances. Then, for the majority of them, I conclude that isn't needed. They get a lot of self-promotion for little more than a few hours of their time. Sure, the program does have some credible guests, but I got tired of so many claiming to be "serving humanity" by taking exorbitant amounts of money from people for their "valuable services." Something is wrong there.

It's all about the power of belief. As long as people believe in the program, and more aptly support its sponsors, "the show will go on." Regardless of what we think.

A positive step is one I read in which Michael V. canceled his Streamlink account, and provided the parent company with his rationale for doing that.

Now, if everyone would do that, for example, it may not affect things much. Or it just might be one step in the right direction.
