Can someone explain the alleged prank that's been going on? Last night during open lines some guy called in originally yammering about global warming but then mentioned something about Noory lying about not knowing people broke into a house and stole millions of dollars from a movie producer? I'm confused as poo poo. Oh, and FYI, Ian is gone. Due to tinnitus he can't do the show anymore.

Haven't decided on a plan yet. Might end up just using the Android app, but I've seen a shitload of 1-star reviews. On a more positive note, Art Bell's FB page has been quite active. https://www.facebook.com/art.bell.716?fref=ts quote:As you all can see I am up late (in training for Dark Matter) as somebody mentioned on my page there is no reason both shows can not coexist. George does one type of show and I do another, both should benefit from competition, that's how the rest of the World works. quote:Sirius/XM is giving me complete freedom, so I think instead of three hours I will most times do four hours which will then be repeated right away! I will start with favorite Guest's then climb new mountains after a couple of Weeks. I must keep in mind that there 26 million there most who have never heard of the show. This is going to be fun! quote:Dark Matter will NOT be a Political show, I will leave that to everybody else. Dark Matter will be EVERYTHING else. Politics is simply no longer relevant to anything important in my life. As for competition, it makes everybody better. This is going to be fun! quote:I want to thank all of you for the many messages that never in a zillion Years I could answer. There is not much I Just randomly bumped his show from 3 to 4 hours. Explained there won't be ANY politics. And while he disagrees with the direction that Noory took the show, it was neither of their choices to have him take over.

Funny... everyone I meet, even in person, agrees Noory is terrible, but there's not that much better to listen to, especially at that time. And yeah, Wells needs to go die. It's the worst crap in the world. Is the Saturday night radio slot DEAD or something? Can't someone better replace him? Noory can be boring and a stooge, but John B Wells makes me want to drive my car off the road.

quote:I guess it is about time to straighten a few things out. I had no input or voice into the choice of George Noory as Host...none. He recently, after Dark Matter was announced dropped my name from mention then he says put it back because it was the right thing to do, nonsense, he did it so he could stop open line callers from being cut off because they kept trying to mention my new show. That is why he announced it. I wanted my name dropped from the show as well as my Saturday shows stopped to be blunt because I hated the direction the show had taken and no longer wanted to be associated with it. George is I am sure a nice guy BUT he has become lazy and does not pay attention. I am sorry to be so blunt but that's how I feel. I hope what little competition I can provide will cause him to up his game. quote:George Knapp is indeed my friend and one hell of a Host, if he was the full time guy I would stay Retired happy that Coast was in good hands, he is also a award winning TV Reporter on KLAS M3wThr33 fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Aug 30, 2013 |

I'm guessing it's the difference between coming on for special occasions because he enjoys it versus lighting a fire under C2C's rear end because the world deserves better and he likes his job.

I'm trying to make sense of this. quote:, the guest for the first half was David John Oates, of "Reverse Speech" fame. David did a reversal on ... I think either Art, or the guy that kidnapped his son (sorry, Art; it has been a while). But I have to wonder if it was deliberate.

Awesome, so glad to have this back. Also, I am super happy with SiriusXM overall. Internet + car satellite for $18/mo is worth it to me. No question. So much content. So... uh... do we make a new Dark Matter thread?

Interstellar Owl posted:So what does everyone think of the new show so far? I'm digging it. I was never around for the Art Bell days when I was introduced to Coast, (i was like 14 when Art retired), and I can tell why people prefer him. He's much more engaging with his guests. Yeah. He actually asks questions and gives it a purpose. Noory just sort of lets the guy go on and on and asks the typical Late show (Leno/Letterman) bullshit questions of "Oh! That's so interesting!" I also love how much Art has been saying what's been going on behind the scenes. Like his demand when he returned from retirement the first time. His demand: cut 4 minutes of commercials each hour. And they did. Until he retired again. It's loving depressing when you do the math of how much commercials take up a standard radio show nowadays. Easily 30%. 3 hours becomes just over 2 hours once cut. Whereas on SiriusXM, Dark Matter is 3 hours, 29 minutes once they strip commercials. AND his shows are available for pretty much FOREVER after airing for free. No bullshit Insider stuff. Just listen.  I think that's, what, 5 years? And it was 365 days a few days ago, so he's INCREASING IT. He also said SiriusXM bumped up his bandwidth. Not sure how that works, though. Part of me thinks another station got poo poo on for that. (BPM already is loving nasty)

I think the worst is the comeback tease between commercials where it changes between local commercials and C2C's own commercials. Also, listening to tonight's episode now with Hoagland. Man, Art is REALLY criticizing this guy. I love it. I miss this so much.

Interstellar Owl posted:I think it's also the content of the commercials, Coast's commercials want to make me rip my hair out the 10000th time I've heard them. Also, yeah, I've heard Richard C Hoagland a billion times with Noory, but this was totally amazing because Bell did not pull ANY punches as to contesting some of his more retarded claims. But that's the fun of it. If you listened, Hoagland got texted by Noory during the show. Because Hoagland and Bell were arguing, as they do AND SHOULD, Noory was sending poo poo like "I hear Art is giving you a tough time." Then Hoagland and Bell proceeded to keep mentioning this is what you DO on a TALK SHOW. As opposed to letting one person just ramble on and on. So Noory is listening, or at least someone is telling him LIVE what's going on.

livingfruitvirus posted:Looks like Premiere Radio still doesn't want to discontinue Somewhere in Time on Saturdays, as tonight they played a show from 2000 with Katia Romanoff and Lauri Loewenberg. Call me crazy, but where are those broadcast? Because Saturday nights have always seemed to be John B. Wells, at least on KFI AM 640 and other stations. I see mention of those Somewhere in Times. Art Bell actually mentioned on his FB page he wanted those stopped, requested it and Premiere ignored the requests, multiple times. Do enough people subscribe to Coast Insider to actually make this worth mentioning?

Normally I'd say the GBS one since it was bigger, but since GBS is a loving poo poo show right now, it'd be ruined by morons.

I like the one idea right now in GBS having threads from other forums linked to it. We aren't the only ones that end up with dupes.

I re-upped to SiriusXM for a full year after my 6 month trial ended. Listening to some shows, there are some issues with the management, but they pale in comparison to all other radio stations. They're 100% free to speak their mind. There's nowhere else they'd rather go. For Art to get pissed off and leave, he had to be hugely entitled. But, that is what happened. He was entitled and whined about things that don't matter (People downloading the show) and things that needed time to improve (Quality of callers).

Amish posted:Ugh, I only end up listening to Coast to Coast about once a month when I'm up super late, but holy hell do I always regret it when I do. It's been stated time and time again in these interviews about the show that Noory's approach is to make all guests feel like their opinion is valid. He's never criticized somebody. He makes NPR look like hard hitting assholes.

Saturday will be 8 months since Bell took the ball and went home. Meanwhile, SiriusXM still has C2C in that timeslot and Art Bell's floundering Dark Matter network is still a joke.

Funny, about the bumper music. So many other shows are quick about bumper music, but something about C2C people let it run just a tad longer, to enjoy it just a little bit more.

We were listening to Coast to Coast a few nights ago. My wife doesn't listen much, but the numbers lady was on. My wife said 'She's been on before... why do they have the same guests?' We got into a discussion about how some guests come back with new info and other things, but it's not that way on C2C. It's really feels like it's just a rotating cast of boring guests. It's not even Noory not holding my interest, but the guests aren't wacky enough anymore, either. When neither the guests NOR the host are interesting, what is? Is C2C still the top rated overnight show? How much longer can it go? Whenever Noory gives up the mic (be it retirement or death) who takes over? Would the format change? Would the new host have the power to do it?
