What can we do?

With all these underhanded and lame tactics going on from "the other show," I was wondering if there was anything we could do to strike back.

Not talking anything illegal, just wondering if there's anything we can do to make their life hell a little bit.

;D

For starters don't listen to the "other show" let the hot air blow into the vast emptiness.
A tree does make a sound if no one is around to hear it, but nobody knows or cares.

Prank calling but, since I can never get in my next move is https://www.facebook.com/coasttocoastam.

Contact C2C sponsors and let them know they're supporting a radio Nazi.

Call affiliates and complain.

Keep hitting Facebook.

Yeah, and we can find them easy on Facebook too.

I think this is the best course of action. No one is going to play JV when they can play in the Super Bowl with Art.

Maybe we should start a forum or something?

I stopped listening when Art left. I've never been able to stand George. Worst interviewer ever.

This is what I was thinking.... just start bombarding them with emails. It's too bad we can't go after his affiliates. Art is in competition with him, but not really because it's satellite radio. I would love to see affiliates start jumping ship.

If you're willing to put your money where your mouth is, Google Adwords.   Spend money on the following key terms:

"Coast To Coast"
"George Noory"
"Linda Multon Howe"
"Richard Hoagland"
"Whitley Strieber"
any guest basically...
"ufos"
"talk radio"
etc etc...

Link the ad to a webpage talking about how bad noory is and how great Art is, and how to get started with a free XM trial.

Affiliates aren't the way to go. Even if they wanted to, they can't get rid of him. Premiere & ClearChannel are the same company, and the reason he's on as many stations he's on is because they're all CC. He's their product, they don't want to pay another company for a different show, it's just easier to stick with Bargain Basement George. He's also packaged with Rush, so the non CC stations that buy Rush also have to take Coast.

No, the way to go is to email guests, tell them about Team Retard's antics & let them decide for themselves which team they want to play for.

Emailing guests will not work either.  The vast majority of them are on there to hawk their wares.   They'll take every opportunity to do so.  You want to kill the program, you have to go after the listeners.

Besides buying ads online,  you could always advertise on the radio for Art, if stations would allow it.

We should start a campaign. Try to email guests as much in advance as we can. I don't know if we'll have much luck though. They're going on the show to promote a book, or a movie, or whatever it is that they're selling.

Laugh and stop worrying about it.

I like it.  I can hear the guests trying to keep their uncontrollable laughter under control.

My local talk/sports station broadcasts on FM and AM. The FM band carries local hosts, the AM band carries Rush & Co. They cancelled C2C on the FM and AM about three months ago. Now they have Red Ice in that slot, but Rush is still on.

Facebook didn't believe 'Vaguely Lovable' was my real name. Dicks! 



Im down with buying ad words, maybe we should pool our resources. Maybe we can get a trusted poster to lead it  (not me) or MV Anyone interested?

You mean Red Eye? Must be a Cumulus station then. Pretty sure they managed to get Coast out of their whole system, it's the smaller stations that tend to get bullied into the Rush/Coast combo.

Bingo.... Add to that the other hosts, at least one of which is intelligent and honorable man (maybe both). I did, with an appeal to their sense of fairness. If at least one of them doesn't quit I will be shocked.

People have tried the ignore thing  throughout history only to find themselves in even deeper shit. Admittedly this is a small thing in the overall cosmic scheme of things, but you are offering very bad advice.
