Cumulus dropping Coast to Coast AM in multiple markets
This is a pretty big deal for those who like the radio that talks about strange bumps in the night—but maybe also not surprising just as well.
"Red Eye Radio" is replacing Coast to Coast AM with George Noory is multiple markets.
There is a lot to this new change in a lineup. However, regardless of ‘why’ the show is being dropped, the fact it is being dropped it a major development in radio.
Art Bell officially ended his relationship with Coast to Coast AM in 2010. And since then listeners in massive numbers yearned for his return. He has not yet, and instead George Noory has boasted that he may get a contract renewal until 2018 (long after that whole Mayan Apocalypse) ..
With the new news of Coast being dropped of of pretty big markets, being replaced with a late night conservative political show, what will become of the little UFO program that could created by Art Bell? …maybe the return of Art Bell?
Don’t forget: Art Bell retired before (ok lots of times) .. but one time he retired someone by the name of Mark Siegel took over. Affiliates dropped. Ratings dipped.
Could we be re-writing the same chapter all over again?

YEAR ONE
This was it. The big birthday bash a year in the making.. Ayden Morris and family, and friends, celebrating until naptime. It was fun. Elmo showed up and brought himself on a balloon. Adults ate sandwiches and meatballs. Kids ran and played. It was a good time had by all. Thanks friends and family for coming and thank you even more good God or whatever is in charge of this mess of an earth for giving us the true blessing of having a child.
Now with that out of the way…I’ll say this: I am quite proud of the little Boris Morris today: He didn’t once use his hands to eat his cake. Instead he was polite and nice eating with his spoon.. Sloppily. But eating with his spoon nonetheless.
Mr. Manners.
Proud parents.
With less to clean.
I'm trying to determine which is worse
The Wiggles, Barney.. or Calliou?
I am thinking the little pale whiny kid Calliou. Just sometimes can’t take him.. reaching the breaking point with the Wiggles, of course, until their damn songs get stuck in my head.

One year ago tonight ..
…was the last night that I was NOT a dad or Tara a mom.
It was the final night alive for Cloud, my sister’s family dog..
It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.
And those times have passed.. One year later, the night a year ago is the past.
The future is so bright.. gotta wear shades.

Soylent green is people
Chalk this one up to truth in advertising?
Heart Attack Grill owner defends his restaurant after a patron eats a Triple Bypass Burger—and has heart attack! I’d consider this one just truth in advertising.. don’t the diners sign a waiver? If not it may be time to write one up..
It’s not often we find truth in advertising.
McDonalds doesn’t tell us how bad their product is…
Pizza Hut doesn’t let us know the calories per slice..
So the Heart Attack Grill is, by definition, just being honest..?
This story is sad and alarming: More than 3,000 children from Northern Uganda suffering from debilitating mystery ailment known as nodding disease

So that is what Stonehenge is!
…wait, what does someone think Stonehenge is again?
Inspired by a sound illusion..?
So even if this ‘illusion’ was the inspiration, why build up the giant stones together just to mimic it? It just still does not add up.
