DAWN IN THE DESERT: ART BELL'S UPDATE

DAWN IN THE DESERT: ART BELL’S UPDATE

For days, Art Bell has teased a major announcement for today. That announcement hit–it also portends a major development in his program MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT and another enormous opportunity for him to change the night time air waves.. From Bell: ANNOUNCEMENT from ART BELL: It has been a great two Months start but now it’s time to get serious. Starting Oct 1st Midnight in the Desert will send an…

The summer of Art Bell

Art Bell and Keith Rowland have made it official: There will be July fireworks in 2015 .. the talk show legend is going to go his own way.. A podcasting style as opposed to the terrestrial or even satellite radio he did previously. This time he is greeting the 21st century with open arms, working out private deals to play music, hoping that fans sign up in big numbers to help his return, and beaming himself to every smart phone that wants him.

The show will be called MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT.

Bell posted two messages on Facebook tonight:

Midnight in the Desert is on the way! It is official now, Starting in late July we will begin streaming a full show from Mon-Fri 9PM- 12AM P.T. It will come to you Worldwide on the Internet in 64Kbps Stereo on Tune In which has a free app available for download right now.
Keith and myself have come to a agreement and the main Studio gear has been ordered. There is a great deal of work ahead and all of you who are friends and fans will have to help out when the time comes by spreading the word far and wide.
Wanna Take a Ride?
Art Bell

And the next:

From Keith: The Final Results, Art Bell IS Coming Back!
POSTED ON APRIL 14, 2015 IN BUMPER MUSIC, RADIO SHOW | 1 VIEW | LEAVE A RESPONSE
After extensive analysis and elongated negotiations with several suiters, we have decided that we can go ahead on the planned launch of “Midnight in the Desert” in late July, using a business model that will allow us to manage the entire operation on our own.
As was hinted by Art via his Facebook feed, we thought about it, compared the numbers and decided we could pay for bandwidth, pay the commercial licensing fees, pay our own overhead and still be financially viable, assuming the following conditions:

1. We have a considerable number of fans subscribe to a membership service that allows you to access the archived shows anytime via the website for a reasonable $5 / month.
2. We can sell advertising to be played during the breaks during the show. Not a lot, but enough to help pay for the music licensing during the LIVE FREE stream.
3. We can successfully curb pirated posts of our content to the Internet.
We’ll be operating under a certain specific licensing model that will allow us to ramp up from a “small webcaster” status into a large broadcaster in the future. It is imperitive that we earn enough through subscribers and ads sales to pay the bandwidth costs and music licensing fees. We believe that we can ramp up successfully using the current models in place at this time.
However, this happens to be the year (2015) that music industry participants are negotiating the next 5 years (2016-2020) rates for music licensing on the Internet. It is a wide open arena, and some license models may not survive. But we believe that we can operate under the current 2015 model for 6 months, and eventually fit into a 2016 model that is still cost effective.
We hope to recoup all of our investments within the first 6 months, so we can better endure the cost increases that will inevitably happen in 2016. If the fans support us with memberships and the advertisers are satisfied, we should be good for a long while.
Keep watching here for the launch date announcement and further updates as we can pass along. We’ll let you know when it’s time to promote the show.
— Keith and Art

A copy of the text was also placed on ARTBELL.COM to inform readers there of the return..

I do have a few critical thoughts regarding this. While on one hand I am celebrating the return, there's a little part of the 20th century boy in me that will miss the radio aspect. There are only about 2 shows I still actually listen to on radio. I have accepted the podcast world. I love it, as a matter of fact.. I think Art will be best, only though, on live radio. I am happy he is giving a free live stream with downloadable content afterwards...

As for the pirates? I don't know if there will be an efficient way to stop them. Recently Art Bell has posted on BELLGAB asking for users there to become his deputies around the NET this summer, scouring the sites of the hinterlands of HTML for any and all pirate streams. And then threatening legal action. But that is plugging a leaky hole in a flooding dam.. it's not just that easy. 

As for the six month window, that is going to be a risky gamble. 

And there are some, even on the ART BELL website, who are shaky on the return. After the quick SIRIUS XM quit--when fans were left trying to return hundreds of dollars in merchandise to the satellite company after DARK MATTER suddenly ended after Halloween--some fans have expressed hesitation to sign up for a monthly fee in return to hear Bell.  The other side of that coin, however, presents a much different picture of the situation at Sirius. Coast to Coast AM quickly showed up on the INDIE station after Bell left. Along with that, there seemingly were other things happening behind the scenes that perhaps even Bell will address this summer on MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT..

I think I'll make a prediction: Those fans that are hesitant today will be signing up tomorrow. The talent that Bell has will be hard to pass up, especially when compared to the monotone moronfest that Coast to Coast AM has turned into over the past several years since Bell's 2010 final departure from the 'hot air' of that show.

Summer is set.

Barbecues.

Fourth of July fireworks.
As the long and hot summer nights fill the air with heat and murky humidity, Art Bell will once again be broadcasting from the high desert for the world to hear. This time in a new century style..

The hot air will remain on the terrestrial side.

Midnight or bedtime?

Art Bell, back in his time, had a different take. He did politics for some time. But changing the format equaled a success that has been unparalleled by any in comparison. 

Art Bell is coming back to radio. But will people back to him?

George Noory sucks maximum ass.

My God does he ever..

I can’t even describe how much he sucks.. how each second of programming exudes this fraudulent verbal diarrhea.. how he took a show that was created to be one of the coolest things on earth by Art Bell and practically halfway flushed it down the toilet before pulling it back up and reusing it again.

Yes, he sucks.

Also, good luck with your ‘toes’ thing.

Who owns Art Bell?

A fun little debate is soaring on the BELLGAB website and also on my other site// the HORROR REPORT is covering the situation of Ellen from iHeartRadio asserting a copyright claim over not only Coast to Coast AM programs that U7RADIO.ORG is playing, but also SIRIUS XM Dark Matter shows..

The Bell tolls: July planning taking place for 'DARK MATTER' return

Art Bell continues to detail his plans for a July return.. Free streaming, and now a paid listening function that can help gain revenue.. 

Sure, it’s pure. 
But it’s still business..

And should be as cheap as a STARBUCKS coffee..

The Art Bell vs George Noory war of words

ART BELL MAKES THE CALL: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS COMING

There has been some recent doubt as to whether ART BELL would return, but a message posted to Facebook tonight seems to make it official: Art Bell will face George Noory.. 

ART BELL MAKES THE CALL: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS COMING

The fumbling mumblings of George Noory

There is a chance—some may disagree—but there’s a chance that George Noory is a nice guy. He may also be the luckiest guy on the planet..

Noory took over Coast to Coast AM several years ago from then host Art Bell.. I have posted quite a bit about Bell and Noory over the past several years. But Noory, regardless of ‘niceness,’ is also strange. And lucky.. Very lucky.

If you’re a newcomer listening to his show for the first time, your takeaway may be confusion.. head scratching that a man who mumbles so much, goofs up so many words, uses the wrong tenses, mispronounces everything, and so often seems to be aloof if not plain asleep during his interviews, still has a radio program. Premiere Radio still employs. And even more, he has 600+ affiliates. 

Sure there’s some form of technicality that states if a station gets Rush, they get the other PremRat shows, too..

But Noory? Oh .. George.. A host with thousands of pages on a message board to documenting his every mispronunciation and incorrectly worded statement.. But the message boarders don’t have a radio show. George Noory does..

But then something happens, like what happened today.. George Noory appeared on the Alex Jones radio program to plug his ‘Insulate the Grid’ initiative, an attempt to help the grid maintain an EMP attack or massive life-altering solar flare. While guesting on the program, Jones attempted to swerve Noory into uncharted territory: Ferguson, Missouri. Noory maintained composure, spoke with confidence about how both the protesters should go home and the police should stop employing hardcore military tactics.. He blamed both sides, something Jones couldn’t counter completely live on air.. Further, Noory spoke with a certain bit of eloquence about why insulating the grid from outside attacks makes sense, and is the moral necessity of this generation..

(Speaking of Noory’s involvement with maintaining the grid’s security.. one eloquent observer notes some of the oddities surrounding Noory endorsing something of this nature in the comments thread on WORLD NET DAILY.. it’s a must read.)

The Noory that appeared on Jones’ program is not the same that hosts his own show nightly..

This Noory, the day time version, didn’t botch words or forget what he was talking about.. he didn’t zone out during the interview, but instead was very much engaged .. he didn’t mumble words or jumble sentences together sounding like a mindless bot.. 

I frankly don’t understand..
Is it possible—just possible—that George Noory is tired by the time his own program begins? Maybe he just…isn’t awake anymore. Perhaps he’s not the Night Owl he once was.. his metabolism is shifting as he ages in life.. 

Noory has often commented that he’s no Art Bell—the obvious master of the macabre of late night radio. But sometimes George Noory is no George Noory either.. The Noory of day time radio or interviews while the sun shines is a coherent human who makes statements that make sense.. the night time version seems more to be a confused old man grasping in the dark for the right word to say..

I don’t host my own radio show. And I probably could not, though I have often pretended I could. So maybe Noory is just nervous on his own show.. perhaps constantly trying to play it safe as to not annoy or anger the hierarchy at Premiere Radio.

Or after 10pm on the Left Coast, when the CHASE begins to play, Noory gets tired.. very, very tired..

Pretty amazing redo of Giorgio Moroder’s THE CHASE by a band called Kings Love Jacks.

It’s like Art Bell and George Noory on ecstasy near the end. Or the soundtrack to a real alien anal probe.

Hints and allegations in Premiere Radio land

From time to time, Coast to Coast AM host George Noory chats live with listeners who pay a monthly fee to get the chance.. He was asked several questions about John Wells termination (we stand by that word) as the Saturday host of Coast, and also one about Clyde Lewis..

Snippets from the chat conducted Tuesday February 11, 2014:

Comment From dave in tucson We miss John B. Wells. I understand this is business, but will he ever be back? Maybe even as a guest. Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:06
george noory: No…I’m disappointed too, but without getting INTO it…He wanted his own thing…and we amicably parted ways. Some say he was fired. He wasn’t. He’s a freelancer, not an employee…we simply have decided to move on…as he has as well.

Comment From Nightshade George, are you now afraid to do Politcal shows like John B Wells? Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:18
george noory: Afraid to do political shows…not at all. We did shows on 9/11, Bilderbergs, NW order, Federal Reserve…BEFORE anyone on mainstream media…but we don’t call them political.

Comment From Lenny Thomas How long to you plan on doing Coast to Coast? Who would be someone you would want to take over after you? Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:22
george noory: Lenny, I just signed a LONG tern contract. So ask me that question in 2021.

Comment From dee do you listen to Clyde GROUND ZERO? Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:27
george noory: No…way too busy getting ready for c2c. He’s very capable and that’s why we brought him in.

Comment From Izzy Will you ever have some of the guests that John Wells used to have on your shows? Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:33
george noory: Some, most likely…all, no

Comment From qqd769 Is it true that C2C is now filling the slot once held by Art Bell on Sirius 104? Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:51
george noory: Let me explain the Sirius story:Tuesday February 11, 2014 
8:53
george noory: Art thinks there’s something sinister. Not true. We were on XM LONG before he was was. The channel went away and we began negotiations with Sirius/XM to come back on a different channel. Art then popped up..and as you know…quit within a blink of an eye. Our negotiations with Sirius/XM settled with them offering 104 to us and they even paid US to be on. We of course grabbed the offer.

Nothing sinister.. Wells parted ways amicably. And George Noory will be chatting monthly until 2021.

For a fee..

A lot of people are lamenting the termination of John B Wells, including the guy who wrote this article titled "John B. Wells Fired for Being Too Popular and Truthful"

Dave Hodges from the ‘Common sense show’ also interviewed Wells..

I get that Noory is probably the worst host of Coast that could have been chosen after Art Bell relinquished the throne of AM talk show phenom.. But Wells was particularly divisive, especially after Ian Punnett left Saturday nights with a history of weird topics as opposed to controversial. 

I received lots of emails, especially on my other site HORROR REPORT, concerning Wells’ departure.. most were praising him and angry at Premiere Radio.

Interestingly enough, many Wells fans suddenly seem to have lots in common with Art Bell fans—maybe not politics but hatred of Premiere Radio over how they treated their favorite voice of the late night air waves..

My take on Wells: When he was good, he was ok.. when he was bad, he was horrible. However, he showed much improvement over the years since he began, and even began to accept some Coast to Coast AM subjects with open arms, such as aliens.. he even did the voiceovers for UNSEALED ALIEN FILES, the weird show you can find on your local TV networks late at night when you can’t sleep..

According to the COMMON SENSE report, and other numbers I saw, Coast on Saturdays with Wells was pulling in over a million people. And sometimes, even as Wells himself bragged, he was getting more listeners on a Saturday night than Noory would get all week put together.

And the most telling perhaps was an interview Wells gave immediately after he was notified of his termination. He admitted that he only talked to George Noory one time, and that it was for one minute. Nothing else since then.. 

Humility is not on display with L.A. Noory. 
Perhaps instead, Noory wanted to displace any competition from within..

The chances of Wells’ success leading to him as a full time host may have been less than possible, especially with Wells’ propelling some away with his Alex Jones lite beliefs, such as wondering aloud of the Sandy Hook massacre was a conspiracy to take guns..But nonetheless, Coast to Coast with George Noory does not want to be known as the same show with John Wells. And that is exactly what it was becoming…

One interesting thing Wells has said..despite his apparent lack of in depth understanding of the paranormal, he has stated hinted that Premiere Radio wants to “own” the paranormal.. and in that sense water it down and present it in their terms, and not the terms that a once great Art Bell would have..  It’s an interesting concept. Wells may have picked up on the big picture..

He is now going on in life to host his own internet show called the CARAVAN TO MIDNIGHT. Sadly it will be on during the midday—and also sadly for him, his show has been marred with technical difficulties that has stopped him from broadcasting when he said he would. Some say Premiere conspired against him.. Some said the same for Art Bell when suddenly, out of no where, Sirius radio announced that Coast would take over Bell’s spot after his short stint on satellite..

Premiere and conservative radio is a big Juggernaut. Premiere may be happy with the lunatics and drunks that listen to Noory.. and maybe they were getting a little unsettled with the knowledgeable and questioning souls that tuned into Wells..

And Art Bell? Well..he plans on coming back in 2015 with his own online show. Maybe it won’t be a Caravan to Midnight.. but it’s always midnight in the desert…

Saturday night auditions on Coast to Coast AM

The sudden departure of John B. Wells from Coast to Coast AM’s Saturday night slot has created a void. Last night, in hopes on plugging the leaking dike, George Noory announced that there will not be a permanent host at this time, but that instead guests will be asked to fill in ..

Noory commented that Wells left to ‘fulfill his dream’ of having his own radio show—though some messages by Wells on his own Facebook pages left an impression that it was Coast’s decision to terminate him from broadcasting. 

Noory went on to speculate that fill ins like George Knapp, Dave Schrader, and Rob Simone will assume the helm on Saturdays. While a permanent replacement may eventually be chosen, it will not happen at this time.

Looks like auditions are in full bloom on Saturday nights.

Some on BELLGAB and other message boards have speculated that a drop in ratings led Premiere Radio to can Wells from the gig.  Recent numbers indicated that Coast ranked 14th place with a little over 3 million listeners, compared to Art Bell’s time of 14 million and 4th place. Even more, a number of people become perplexed as to why the show, typically apolitical since Bell’s hosting days, took a toxic political turn on Saturday nights with John Wells.

Last night, Noory addressed that very issue, though in a roundabout way. Noory said that the program, while thanking Wells for hosting, was going ‘back to its roots’ on Saturdays and focusing on the unusual and paranormal. 

John B. Wells will begin his own online radio program next week, called the Caravan to Midnight. Ironically, the ‘Midnight’ show will air during afternoons on weekdays. It appears the program will feature heavy hitting topics like Fukushima radiation and gun rights, topics that Wells always tried his best to get on his Saturday Coast shows.

The reaction to Wells’ departure has been interesting, to say the least. While some who were with the program since Art Bell did not like the Wells style, it appears they have more in common with Wells’ fans than they’d like to admit. Both Wells and Bell left Coast under mysterious circumstances. Both have fan bases that said, or are saying, they will leave the program altogether because their favorite host has vanished. And both sets of fans, though different in nature, have taken to BELLGAB to criticize Premiere Radio and George Noory about the handling of the situations.

Wells would typically tell listeners to grab a proper cup of their own tea when listening to his Saturday program.
Perhaps one of the most poignant responses was from a Twitter user who, when responded to Coast’s new updated weekly schedule lacking Wells,posted a photograph of a cup of tea. 

We do know this: Regardless of what happened with Coast or what happens on Wells’ caravan, he will always have a home in Alex Jones’ prison planet..

Saturday night auditions on Coast to Coast AM

Premiere Radio grabs its proper cup of tea and ends relationship with John B. Wells

It’s really not a big shock.. Wells took COAST TO COAST AM into a politically charged world of controversy and conspiracy.. He rattled some nerves and often was a very divisive radio host. Now he’s done..

Some say people aren’t ready for prime time. In this matter, Wells wasn’t ready for AM.

Good luck John.
May your Caravan to Midnight be everything you wanted it to be.

Premiere Radio grabs its proper cup of tea and ends relationship with John B. Wells

Knapp came back

George Knapp is like a cat.. he has 8 more lives to go.

Anyone who knows anything about George Knapp will know that he almost died of sepsis—this website was the first to report that weeks ago after learning the exclusive information directly from George Knapp himself. 

Last night, he came back to Coast to Coast AM for his Sunday hosting gig, and thank God he did. Most forget what good radio sounded like..

Knapp had Brad Steiger and Williams Birnes as guests to talk about the ‘other’ America and paranormal topics. It was a great show—and a great credit goes to Knapp for returning and explaining why he was absent his hosting duties since November. 

George Knapp is a great radio host and deserves as much appreciation as Art Bell.. people who listen to Coast to Coast AM know how lucky listeners are to have him.

Bravo Knapp. Glad you’re back..

Brain dead girl Jahi McMath released from California hospital

Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl on a ventilator who was declared brain dead by doctors in California after tonsil surgery, was released from a hospital.

This is just an emotional draining and horrific story. I cannot even imagine what he family of this beautiful girl, Jahi, is experiencing.  There are so many things I think about when  I read updates on this matter.

One thing I don’t like seeing over and over again: the media uses “brain dead” to describe Jahi in almost every headline. I understand why they would.. but can’t we give this 13-year-old girl more respect? Can’t we describe her as “loving Jahi” or “beautiful Jahi”? Oh, better yet, just “Jahi McMath!” Maybe that would work!

While I am not an expert on the brain, I am not quite sure if anyone is.. We are going into uncharted territories as we explore more about the brain, its functions, and what it does every single day when we wake up.I listened to a pretty interesting Coast to Coast AM show Saturday night about the science of reviving people in comas. 

We can say brain dead until we are blue in the face.. sometimes miracles happen.

I think we know that Jahi’s family is praying for a miracle.. As should we all..

Pray to whatever or whoever you believe in.. if no beliefs are within you, simply send some good will and feelings their way. There’s a butterfly effect of good that can result..

Hope in the high desert.. Art Bell may challenge his non compete with Sirius XM

Give em hell, Bell

Hope in the high desert.. Art Bell may challenge his non compete with Sirius XM

Things are set to go Pahrump in the night this evening. Tonight on Art Bell’s DARK MATTER: The first interview with Linda Howe.. Looking forward to it. I bet she is too.. Just think, a host who appreciates her intelligence and can carry on a meaningful conversation.. she hasn’t had that in years..

DARK MATTER..

Don't go into the light.. and other weird tales at night.

Those who know me or follow this site will vouch for me: I love paranormal radio. Art Bell, Clyde Lewis.. sometimes George Noory.. seldom John Wells. Nonetheless, my mind is just blown away by the nightly prospects of flipping back and forth from Clyde to Art over and over.. 

Last night Art Bell had a guest, Whitley Strieber, who seemed to confirm something that John Lear said many years back on an Art Bell show when he was hosting Coast to Coast AM: Don’t go into the light.

Some context is in order.

John Lear, yes, a family member in the famed Lear family, told Art Bell that when you die, the ‘light’ is a trick.. the light is a mirage.. it’s the devil himself trying to trick us to enter the gates off hell with him.. The light. 

Last night, years after that Lear show, Whitley Strieber confirmed to Art what Lear said, that the light was not goodness at all.. he said not to embrace the light. Turn away from the light.

I am with Art Bell on this. It makes me angry that the one thing that people say they see when they have NDEs may be a fraud! 

I am sure many will debate me on the existence of an afterlife to begin with.. but travel down a road with me for a minute, and envision an afterlife being real. You’d certainly think ‘the light’ was a sure bet! Go to it.. there is peace and serenity in the light, right?

Maybe not..

Something for you to think about, until you meet your ultimate demise and actually find out if an afterlife, a light, and a devil exists..
