Poll 1: What night should the live show air?
Poll 2: What time should the live show air?

2021, right after my 5 year non-compete with DMDN runs out. And now we wait.
Quote from: The King of Kings on January 22, 2016, 10:38:37 PMMaybe they have a different definition of trolling.
It's only trolls when people say things that you don't like.

We really need to tweet all the celebrities that have been on Art's show.
* Willie Nelson (https://twitter.com/willienelson)
* Crystal Gayle (https://twitter.com/TheCrystalGayle)
* ZZ Top (https://twitter.com/ZZTop)
* Billy Gibbons from ZZtop (https://twitter.com/BillyFGibbons)
* Leonard Nimoy (https://twitter.com/TheRealNimoy)
List others please.
They have the numbers. Let's get the Scorpion Army out there.
Quote from: SaucyRossy on November 14, 2013, 10:57:25 AMGreat video. Man what a concept. If Art gets paroled I want to see her smile.
I am working on more
I wanted to get the initial explanation out of the way but share this as much as possible

Quote from: Gnoory on November 14, 2013, 08:36:39 AMDon't give up hope dude. Art Bell appeared on the Gabcast so he just might appear on lesser shows. You never know. Keep working on it. I think it would be a tremendous asset to your ratings. A lot of people would listen if they had advance notice (date, time, show name, host name, URL for your podcast, etc). Then they'd know what a nice guy you really are. Good plan.
...lastly I still stand by my offer to him (as I did when he was first on Dark Matter) to invite him on Coast to Coast to discuss his new show, etc. ...

I don't want to live in a world where there is even a need to make a remake of Crocodile Dundee.

Midnight In The Desert with Art Bell
Quote from: Yorkshire pud on November 12, 2013, 09:58:45 AMIMHO the quality issues were not being addressed and when solutions were proposed, they were ignored. Art Bell said "I was in a situation where the road forward was not viable." You are right if you are saying that they didn't expect him to go "all-in"", but he made the decision to enforce a standard of quality for the show. There are ways Sirius could help with that if they wanted to.
How was he forced out? ... Why would they spend lots of dosh getting a show up and running to deliberately kill it six weeks later?
Quote from: sherry440 on November 12, 2013, 09:29:12 AMThe other guy is of no consequence. He is just filler--proof that the public will accept whatever we are supposed to accept. Art Bell sort of quit, in a way. We used to call it being "forced out". If he stayed, they'd make sure that the show would degenerate into mediocrity and he'd have to retire with a whimper. This way, there is a chance for him to come back and do some more great radio. Even if it has to be commercial-free narrow-casting for a while, it can still be great radio. The best anywhere.
Yes. The suits negotiate, not the broadcaster. This is not on George as much you may wish it were.
Quote from: (Redacted) on November 10, 2013, 09:29:21 PMAlthough it is a good thing, in a strange way, it could break again. I listened on an ad-hoc stream Wrath set up (thanks again Wrath). Hope you're prepared for a lot o people.
Gabcast same bat channel 7:00 pm central time.
Quote from: maren on November 10, 2013, 07:35:46 PMIt is as though they expect him to publically state that he has no intention of honoring his contract. What would the legal consequences be for doing something like that?
I don't get those who don't get Art honoring the NC. Isn't that a legal agreement? If he just popped up elsewhere and began a new show, wouldn't he get sued? I'd guess if there's a legal way out of it he's pursuing that option.
Quote from: jazmunda on November 10, 2013, 07:19:26 PMNice Try Jaz but we all know it was your fault the show was cancelled whether or not Art Bell himself exonerates you.
Art could you please post your contract and highlight the non-complete clause? Also could you please send me $10,000.00 in unmarked bills. Also could you please send me an mp3 file that I can use as the voice mail on my phone? Something like, "Andy's not here right now but please leave a message after the beep". Oh and also can you recommend a good replacement for pizza punch? Also can you please make it clear to the rest of the posters here that my 5 calls to the show were not the reason that Dark Matter is no more? That is all.
Quote from: Producer-Paul on November 08, 2013, 07:29:43 PMThe CIA guy made up for it.
I take full responsibility.
And it wasn't a bet.
Quote from: georgesucks on November 08, 2013, 06:24:16 PMIf the non-compete is to be enforced, better to get that clock ticking ASAP. Unless they will let him on for now AND start the clock. But they aren't talking.
Art it is good that your wife's family is safe. Art you should have keep talking to xm about the problem and NOT QUITbut who cares. The bottom line is YOU HANDLE IT THE WRONG WAYon your end. The best then you could have done is to stay on the air and work with the IT people with XM.
Quote from: Art Bell on November 08, 2013, 06:06:55 PMThankful for that. I've seen the aftermath of hurricane Iniki on Kaua'i (cat5). It was not pretty.
...So if you think I just wanted to quit you are so wrong.
The only good news of the day is that Airyn's Family is safe after the Typhoon, we were very worried. Thank
God for that.
Art

Why am I not surprised by JC's spelling errors.
Quote from: maren on November 08, 2013, 05:55:23 PMWasn't he the guy who plagiarized market research reports on the air and then took credit as a prophet/fortune-teller whenever the analysts got it right?
Ewww -- I don't like knowing that they even approached SDM. I think he's a grifter.
Quote from: Art Bell on November 08, 2013, 02:52:41 PMYou'd better believe the powers-that-be aka "elsewhere" want influence over a show that provides unscreened open-line access to

Quote from: Quick Karl on November 04, 2013, 10:04:09 PMSimilar experience. I bought one of those FM transmitters CCrane hawks to take care of the problem of being tethered, but it is still frustrating to have to go back and reset the iPhone or computer after timeouts/dropouts.
Here is what I didn't like about Sirius
Art was the ONLY program I listened to. 500-other programs that are completely disinteresting, is meaningless.
I don't like paying to listen and then being chained to a device or a computer to listen to it - try having art on in the Kitchen and your office simultaneously.
The program would drop off for no reason.
I love listening to Art, there simply is no other radio personality that comes close, but listening HAS to be at the listener's convenience.
Lastly, for those college graduates at Syrius: Radio is NOT TV, and only juveniles listen to Howard Stern regurgitating the same shtick since 1985...
Quote from: KnyeGuy on November 04, 2013, 10:07:23 PMPeople have posted that Sirius is giving pro-rated refunds upon cancellation. Hope this is true.
I've had the Sirius internet stream drop out on me a few times when I was listening to the show live, and a few times while listening on demand. In addition to this, it actually still gives me the " Are you still listening" prompt every hour and a half (I thought Art got them to extend it to four hours?).
At any rate, I paid for a full year up front so I hope Art isn't quitting yet... fml
Quote from: 8bitwizard on November 04, 2013, 07:37:59 PMThanks for that info. It is important.
**ATTENTION***
I called Sirius to cancel. They gave me a partial refund for the unpaid balance.
She also stated that she has had several calls tonight cancelling over the "programming change".
she mentioned they are tracking the number of cancellations.
Quote from: guildnavigator on November 01, 2013, 09:58:42 PMApologies to all. Guildnavigator is right. I listened again and the word is "Baby". I still don't think we're in danger of losing Art.
It was 7:30 into the show. I'm not thinking it means anything at this point. The "maybe" was the only thing that made it suspect, but he definitely says "baby"
Quote from: area51drone on November 01, 2013, 02:38:46 PMlol Yeah, Jaz sounds cool on Skype.
I'm blaming you Jazmunda... so many calls he thinks you're the only one listening!! j/k
Quote from: aldousburbank on November 01, 2013, 09:32:57 AMThat's what makes it so much fun to speculate. It is like the radio show. Not enough data so the mind can run wild. If the live discussion thread is true that there is no longer a "non-compete" contract in force...wow, a lot of possibilities there.
I think Art is playing chess/poker and we do not see the whole board/hand.
