I am sorry to have to announce this but I will not be on Tonight or any other night, yes I am going to hang it up. ...
I'm impressed with Heather. I'm not canceling anything just yet. I'm
also impressed with the real possibility that Art could continue to
participate the way he did Friday night - with Skype or on the phone,
from where ever he may find it convenient. (Other talk show hosts do
this.) That would resolve this so far as I'm concerned. It would not
encourage any stalker who might see Art walking to his studio building.
The daughter would not have a reason to be upset - - if it's just a
matter of Daddy being on the phone (or Skype) from their residence.
There has been some mention recently about the addition of KLIF-570 in
Dallas (and their HD2 station). When KLIF-1190 was owned by Gordon
McLendon, they had a 'showcase studio' in Downtown Dallas (2120 Commerce
St.). There were crazies who drove by and fired shots at the glass.
So the station installed bullet proof glass. They did not go off the
air. People who worked there showed me digs in the glass.
There is also the chance that the person causing this problem may be
apprehended, as a result of professional police work. A man who held me
up with a gun is now enjoying 20 years in the pen, also as a result of
good police work. There's been no further trouble from him for me or
anyone.
If someone is really stalking Art Bell, it's likely they won't stop even
if the radio show ends forever. Security precautions are in order -
either way. From reports, I understand Art and his family have been
through some crazy harassment in the past, where Art prevailed.
Good luck.
