Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[munbeam666]

I find it hard to believe that Art doesn't have a lawyer (or lawyers) to deal with this SeriusXM rift.  How good they are is something else...
We also don't know the exact provisions of Art's contract with SeriusXM, it's possible that he may have more leverage than we think to get out of it.
Of course he's not going to tell the exact details of this contract dispute; if I was his lawyer, I would definitely advise that he says very little publicly about this situation

[TheGrimCreeper1]

I don't understand the logic behind this. SiriusXM builds Art a studio, invests money to have Art as talent, promotes the show...in hopes of chasing him off thee air?

Holy double chin, Batman.

You're forgetting that he's said he'd honor the NC regardless if they don't let him back on.

Maybe Noory can recommend him a lawyer again

And I told my ex-girl friend 20 years ago that I would never date again if she didn't marry me. My 13 year old son of my present significant other is thankful that I didn't keep to that. Sometimes, (often) we say things that aren't particularly well thought out when we are upset and often we see things in a different light when additional information is available (such as the fact that Sirius was either already in talks with Premier or overly eager to replace Art for some time now).

Reality check...
Question: So if SXM doesn't take Art back and lets him stream from his site, what his audience?
Answer:   A thousand loyal BellGab fans.

Compared to a thousand BellGab fans and many more listening on Sirius.

Art, nor I wish to hear from Jazmunda every night.

He can probably recommend a cheap hotel that's within staggering distance to the Premiere studio for when someone's too drunk after work.

He isn't coming back. It's ova unless he can podcast without breaking his NC clause.

I thought Jorch slept it off in the back of his Audi?

[Falkie2013]

Yes.  As well as everyone responding to jazmunda's 6 Questions.

As the family sits down at the dinner table in Art's dining room and the wee child asks the question :

" Why does this suck different than all other sucks ? "

( Passover reference for all the goyim out there. ).

[Kolchak]

"Multiple people are having problems with the podcast XML feed. The base is gone."

[Stan_Holeman]

So what's Art's move? I'm sure he's not happy going out as Noory's bitch (not to be misogynistic...this is more of the prison bitch sense of being completely dominated by someone else).

From Artbell.com:

"We have already identified many ways to bring a LIVE stream to you, it's now just working out the details with SiriusXM."

I know this change from 'waiting on lawyer' to 'it's now just working out the details with SXM' was brought up earlier in the thread, but I am surprised it's not getting more attention.

It means:
1.) Art has finally received a response from SXM.
2.) It was not a flat out 'No, good riddance.'
3.) SXM is open to meeting Art's request in some form or fashion if they are 'just working out the details'.

.....Or it could mean the exact same thing as the first message, but just different verbiage. Who the hell knows, but I do think it's a positive change in tone at the very least.

[Nighthawk]

This really is a nightmare. We need our leader Art to come back on here and let us know where we are at now. We need some direction.

[georgesucks]

Well a lot has change. Art quit and george is back on xm on 104. The worm has turn.

[Falkie2013]

Holy double chin, Batman.

I didn't know Tinfoil Hat had a cat.
Whatever happened to that guy anyway ?

To Art's credit. He is very good at hiding everything in plain sight.  Meaning that you should scrutinize every word, as it implies a more complete meaning than a cursory read.  We have been going derpy since C2C showed up on SXM so it's no surprise nobody caught it.

No, scumbag noory was NEVER on 104.

Dead. Like Hoagland.

Well Glenn Beck might beg to differ  http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/03/15/glenn-beck-closes-in-on-the-100-million-mark/ with over 100 million in revenue from his streaming service. Granted he has a radio platform as well from which to build it. When he left Fox News most said that he was finished.  However, Art Bell might start with a 1000 (although I bet the number would start at more like 10000+++), but once he got on I-Tunes, I-Heart Radio, Pandora. Slacker and other(s) that number would quickly become more like (100,000+++) and with consistent quality of the scale that we've already seen for the first six weeks on Sirius he would go beyond a million nightly within a year (keep in mind it would be a world wide customer base).  Combine that with top quality website for paranormal news ( I love www.rense.com , but won't go there because the guy is so anti Jewish) and he would have a very viable venue.  In a year or so bigger players like Cumulus, CBS, ABC et al might make attractive offers to simulcast over AM/FM radio. It wouldn't happen overnight (or it could) but it would almost be inevitable ceteris paribus.

I bet Gloria Allred would take the case. That would take this freakshow to dizzying new heights.

So what channel is the low life on ?
Not that it matters. I'd never give another dime to Sirius except that I will buy some of their stock so I can raise hell AS a stockholder.

Egad ! Allred and $noory on the same dais. That's double scary.

I'm afraid Art is going to say I will honor the NC and be vague about afterwards...then Art will drift into what HE wanted--retirement and then he can say it was Premiere's and Sirius's collective fault.

I'd love to be proven wrong on this.

But ... as far as I know Beck doesn't have a non compete clause. He was driven off the air by crazed leftist loonies who lied about what he said on his show.
Wouldn't anything Art does on line be considered competition ?
