So I've been gone for about a week and come back to hundreds of new posts... can some kind soul distill the latest developments for me? I see Heater has finally changed the name...

...also, any word on Art's cause of death?

Cheers!

This stuff is so bogus, I can't believe people swallow that kind of horsecrap, and the ones peddling it are at best seriously deficient in the brain department!

For clarification, I asked what that meant, Keith respectfully responded this way,

"In order for Heather Wade to avoid any pending lawsuits & breach of her non-compete clause,
she simply needs to use a different name for her new show. We then part amicably & move forward wishing her well with no further repercussions.«

Keith is a very decent guy, I would not have aligned myself with him or MitD if he wasn't. The claims of how evil he was took place when hosts made unreasonable demands or disagreed with the business model Keith created.

Not evil, just business. Victims point fingers and cry foul when they don't get their way.

Heather is the one that refused to commit to a return date, refused to allow the show to continue with a temporary fill in host of her own choosing. These choices effectively showed blatant disregard for listeners of the show and the money they spent to support her. 

In today's world, going off air for two to four weeks would have destroyed the show and all that Keith created with blood, sweat and tears.  It is unfair to blame him for trying to sustain a program and business he helped create.

I said it the first night and stand by it, we all grieve in different ways and I don't doubt that Heather hurt over the loss and continues to do so, however, I lost my biggest fan, supporter and friend when my Mom passed away in Nov of 2016. I was off for the week leading up to her death and the week after as I was by her side til the end, in another state.

I was destroyed, but I knew one thing, Mom loved my show and I knew if I took even one more day off because of her she would have personally kicked my ass. As hard as it was, I went back to do the job because it was my job and I had obligations, and I wasn't  on a subscription based show that could sink my show or network if I just didn't show up.

I wish Heather well and sincerely mean that, she needs healing and professional help to aide her in her grieving.

That aside, subscribers were dropping like flies because of the lack of new shows and got dangerously low, in one week of showing commitment to this show and dedication to move forwatd, we rebounded and have already surpassed membership before Heather left by over 15% and picking up more subscribers daily.

Heather was given every chance to stay aboard, she made a choice, her choice, I've seen the emails that were sent. Keith was left to a very hard choice, wait for her to return to a show hemmorraging money and supporters and lose what he had built, or replace the uncertain and non committal host and right the ship. He made his choice because of her inability to make hers.

This will all eventually clear itself up, and I really hope for Heather's sake, she makes a better educated decision and avoids the impending lawsuits.

There is plenty of room for a new show for her, she just needs a new show name and her life can continue without issue. Seems that makes more sense then setting herself up for a long and money wasting lawsuit.

Either way, my prayers and positive thoughts continue for her and this is the last I will discuss this nonsense.

Your pal,

Dave

Great post Dave, agree with every word

Looks like someone feel asleep or they ran out of money for royalties in the S'es. At least the Statlers got in there. I bet Dave is jealous of all her bumper music.

Stops at Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years"... seems very apt  :P

Still cringing whenever I see the self-appointed "artbelllegacy.com"... real real real bad taste (I'd go so far as to say even for BellGab).

It's fine as long as the rule (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR UNTIL FINISHED) is adhered to. Very simple batter mix, very hot fat in the tray(s).. Serve with onion gravy or fill up with veg and meat and gravy, some eat them with sweet things.  :)

Love me some Yorkshire puds... I often dream of a pyramid of them, beef gravy running from the top :)

Did anyone tape the show?

So I've been following this clusterfuck since Art's passing and I have been able to stomach all the drama... up until Heather registered "artbelllegacy.com"... the narcissism is sickening... if she has any respect for Art and his "legacy" she'd have stuck around with MiTD, this whole debacle just stinks of exploitation... it's truly shameful.

Art's legacy has bugger all to do with her, time for her to eat some humble pie...

Confirmation from Keith that he'll be able to broadcast the songs, but can't archive them for posterity. Someone needs to be recording this tonight.



Won't be part of the monthly pirate bay shenanigans then? Please somebody record this!

Can someone please tape this for me or do whatever you do to make it available to listen to at another time, it's 5 in the morning here at that time, I'd do it myself but I don't know how to!

Dave Schrader is another name that hasn't been thrown around much, but he's available as far as I know.

Yep, that's another name I'd tune in to

I've never listened to MITD, should really try and find the shows Art did and give them a listen, last heard Art on Dark Matter years back, ended up unfollowing him online because of his ass licking of the Donald. Sad to hear of his passing. He was a big part of my life for many years, sending me to sleep most nights whilst listening to shows he did in the 90s (not in a diazepam kinda way). The only current C2C shows I ever listen to now are when Linda Moulton Howe is on with Snoory. Or the Knapp occasionally. When they're not on it's still classic C2C for me.

Thanks for the week-long "ride" you've all given me catching up on all the gossip rumours details in this thread!  ;) Don't know half the people you all bang on about but it's still a very entertaining read!

If you would like your display name changed to something else, request it in this thread. In a single post, you should document what you're changing from and what you wish to change to.

Mr Art Bell
Your show was swell
Until streaming went to hell

You had a fix
And took a risk
By throwing free shows in the mix

Now Sirius are mad
They think you're bad
And all of your fans are so sad

But I do not blame
Or want to shame
The guy with Art as a name

So just fix it now
Then get Linda Howe
To talk about more of those cows
