???   Apparently even Stern can sink to new lows.  Wow.  Just wow.  I swear I should just post pictures of kitties and puppies and the world will watch.



Funny you should mention it.
I posted a video of me holding my cat Fuzzy whom everyone thinks is very cute even off line and its gotten 57 views so far, more than a lot of my other videos without a cat.

:)

Is it now time to call Art's former show SUCK Matters ?
And to start a new topic, Art Bell Sucks ?
How pissed off am I about this ?
Words are not enough to describe it.

Can't tell you, they apparently don't have streaming problems. Look, the errors weren't made up, you can see them in the live show threads.

Yes there were issues. But can we trust this data as being representative of the entire listening audience. It seems like the data could easily be biased.

D. Tell Art to honor his contract and work with Sirius behind the scenes to resolve any issues.

E. Tell Art to send me a check for my $ 14.95 with interest.

Could be, I'm flying blind here. I had problems, I can confirm that.

To All Our Fans, Listeners and Web Visitors

We are sorry that Dark Matter on SiriusXM has come to an abrupt end. We'll examine our options and may be able to return in a different format and medium....




What?  Is he going to channel his show via Evelyn Paglini?  ::)

It's the web, there will always be kinks.  I don't doubt people had errors... You don't cancel a SATELLITE radio show because there are internet streaming problems for some people, and blame your callers.

C.  If Sirius cannot be dissuaded then use Kickstarter to raise money to "pay off Sirius" to let him out of contract.

People are already pissed enough about losing their money lol You're expecting them to help Art get out of the jam he put himself into now????

His wife actually called me VERY concerned about him. He leftthe house and she has been calling him but he wont answer, im on the phone with her right now and shes freaking out. im pretty concerned. hes had a lot of bad shit happen and i think this just may have been the final straw. gonne probably drive over there if he doesnt answer or call 911.  :-[

chris, please let us know about your buddy.  A lot of us are concerned about him!

Gotta make yourself look as much like a young Shannen Doherty as possible, and Art will be all over this!

Agreed, please keep us posted.

Yes you will.  Because there is no other radio really worth listening to right now.

No, I really won't. Art is not a man of principle or he would have recognized that many listeners paid hard earned money to hear him when he came to SiriusXM and were worth sticking around for rather than his ham-fisted "My way or the highway" approach he took with management over the internet stream despite them trying to please him at every turn. It's a juvenile move and for someone that I've listened to for years and have great respect for, I thought this time he would honor his commitments.

Call me negative, but I believe it's just damage control.  A measure to quell the anger. I don't believe it myself.

After giving the speech at the beginning on how he is in this for the long haul and not a quitter, and giving up the details of previous retirements, cancelling the show 2 months in and blaming it on the call quality is reaching self-parody. Sorry to say

Luna, gotta ask, are you a midget?

Is that really accurate though? The cellphone audio did suck, listen to the programs, potato phones and all. Beyond that, it was mostly bellgabbers. No offense to Jaz, but when a single Australian listener can get on so much on Skype that he has to moderate his own calls to not wear out his welcome, there's a damned problem.

I will sign any petition you want.

Awwww... :)

I am so depressed, doing this is the only thing giving me comfort right now. I think I will take tomorrow off form work and sulk around at home. .__.

No. It's the stupid camera angle if it makes me look weird. I am 5'3, and 28 years old.


Luna

I am just noticing posts about Chris' wife. I am very concerned. :(

If it gets much deeper, I'm going to have to put on my boots.
