slightly old news at this point but no topic on watum so here it is
http://artbell.com/

Art Bell will be returning to broadcast radio via SiriusXM on Monday Night, September 16th, 2013. He will be on channel 104, Indie Talk.

 

Launch Monday September 16th (if no anomalies)

 

The truth, apparently, is still out there.
Late-night radio’s king of the weird, Art Bell, took to the airwaves early Tuesday after he spent nearly a year in self-imposed exile to deal with personal and legal troubles.
Bell, who broadcasts from his home in the Nevada desert, tackled UFOs, conspiracies, cover-ups, chupacabras and more for some 15 years before his sudden retirement last year. Now, he’s promising to stick around for “years.”
“The negotiation was brutal and bloody!” Bell said in a press release. “The result... fewer commercials and back to five hours.”
The commercials may be fewer, but they are still significant — while no official number or comparison was immediately available, tuning in Monday night found between 20 and 25 minutes of ads in a single hour of the five-hour broadcast.
King of the Weird, King of the Airwaves
With an estimated 10 million listeners, Bell’s show was at the time of his retirement the most listened-to late-night radio program, and fourth overall behind Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern, and Dr. Laura. But many stations, including those in key markets such as New York and Los Angeles, dropped “Coast to Coast AM” as ratings fell under replacement host Mike Siegel.
“If the show had been sizzling along in great form, I wouldn’t have even thought about it,” Bell told radio trade magazine Talkers. “But you know, this is a program that I built from the first brick, brick by brick. And to see it dismantled... was not something I was prepared to see.”
Art Bell can be heard again nightly from 1-6 a.m. ET in more than 400 markets. Monday night, Bell could be seen on the show’s live Web cam in his trademark oversized dark sunglasses as he took calls on UFOs and other topics.

Funny that means that Coast to Coast AM is now a competiting show against Art Bell. LOL

 

Is there enough kooks listening to Sirius radio?

when Bell's non compete contract expired he publicly called c2c out for being horse shit and announced that he was considering offers from several networks wanting to host a new show like last year/early this year but then he said he changed his mind and wanted to spend time with family

couple months later and he's doing an XM radio show

whoops you're right, I only pasted it in for the content of the thread. didn't pay much attention to it myself

there'll no doubt be generous people streaming it if you know where to look, most definitely some recordings of it afterwards as well, which I'll settle with due to time zones and ads etc.

Art Bell was magnitudes more confrontational. one of coasts occasional weekend hosts, George Knapp, is a bit more like Bell in that way. Over the years I have been starting to wonder if some of their guests are paying to get on to advertise their book.
