Art Bell

Julie Talbot, one of the shitheels at PremRat.


According to this article, she is the person that fired Wells.

http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2014/02/06/john-b-wells-fired-for-being-too-popular-and-truthful-an-exclusive-interview/


I recall her name from a Press Release last year gushing about how great George Noory is when he signed an extension:

“The continued growth and success of COAST TO COAST AM is a testament to GEORGE’s incredible talent and dedication,” stated JULIE TALBOTT, President/Content And Affiliate Services for National Media Groups, CLEAR CHANNEL MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT.  “Each year, GEORGE takes COAST to COAST AM to new heights, and we couldn’t be happier to extend our partnership with him for years to come.”...

Gag.  I remember that release from last year.  Truly shameless.  Right before Art's return with DM.  Get your butt back here Art and save us from the incompetent corporate hell.

[eeieeyeoh]

...  Get your butt back here Art ...

I think Art's answered the questions for the near future. Giving Art a direct order I doubt will wake from a nap.

[lightningline]

That's the spirit, I feel a big part of my life missing without your voice in it. Take care of yourself and Godspeed my friend.   Corey

[George Drooly]

Heh

Thank you!

[George Drooly]

Uh-oh, if Art is posting here again, can Noory be far behind?

[Neil]

It is my feeling that "they" want me kept off the air, ho hum, I will fool them by staying healthy and kicking
their ass as soon as I can get free.

                                                                                                               Art

LOVE this part!

I wonder if that was part of the deal. Coast would come to Sirius if they kept Art on his non-compete.

If by "continued growth and success" and "takes COAST to COAST AM to new heights" they mean bleeding audience numbers from millions to a couple hundred thousands then Jorch must have some compromising photos in his possession.

Between Art's machinations and PremRat/Noory's maneuvers, a variety of possibilities are possible and I doubt we mere mortals will ever know the full story.  I wouldn't be at all surprised and would expect PremRat to take full advantage of the situation between Art and Sirius at the time.  PremRat was apparently in negotiations with Sirius to get C2C back on Sirius during DM's duration so any apparent breakdown between Sirius and Art I'm sure was used by PremRat to their advantage.  Even if C2C was destined to return to Sirius regardless of the situation with Art, I doubt Art would have wanted to continue with Sirius as a lead in to C2C.  The sad thing is we're still left with the wreck that is currently C2C and no Art, at least for the near term.

Reading through the article regarding Wells, it makes me think when they see the email and other complaints about George that they just think it's about content/subject matter and not really about his lack of skills as a host.

I doubt any of them stay up at night and listen to the show

You would think that if they were competent at their own jobs then surely the numbers would be of a concern to them. I would love to know where the numbers quoted in that article come from and what the true numbers are. It would also be great if we had the numbers when George took over.

[MikeJ]

Nah brah- I see this completely opposite...

Art Bell not only played D&D (2nd edition) but Mastered it. Its obvious when his mass 'charm person' spell has enchanted so many people here who failed their Wisdom checks that they still actually think he is going to "return".

Bell is a Lich of the highest order. His Dark magick has many charmed but the spell will eventually be broken.

All this D&D talk makes me miss my high school days.  I haven't heard "wisdom check" in many a year.

[MikeJ]

Don't for a second buy that John Welles was getting ratings way beyond Noory--regardless what Seas David claims.  Morton is a constant liar.  If Welles was doing that great--he'd have replaced Noory.

Welles can blame it on "conspiracy" but that is just more false paranoia from him.  Good riddance.

I agree.  If we have learned anything, it is that Prem Rat loves money above all.  If Wells had been that great, Snooron would have been stuck with the weekend shift ASAP.

As I have posted on Facebook and as I promised on this Forum, as soon as I am released from the
Sirius/XM NC I will begin streaming my own show. The article so well written about JBW only confirms
what I have felt for YEARS.

I might have better luck asking Julie for a release of my NC.......I say this because while I was trying
to talk to Sirius/XM two days after I left, I simply could not understand why they were not responding
to my offer to return if they would only allow streaming until Sirius fixed their problems, when I finally did
get a response it was to inform me that Coast would be taking my spot on channel 104.

It is my feeling that "they" want me kept off the air, ho hum, I will fool them by staying healthy and kicking
their ass as soon as I can get free.

                                                                                                               Art

We're waiting, reading, thinking, and pondering just to begin listening, again.  We need ya Art.

#FREEARTBELL  !!!!!    You may not like JBW but you gotta admit he was the closest thing to ART the "show" has had in years.  Deep voice and all.  As far as content goes......I'll listen to anything. I have an open mind.  I tried JBW out and found it to be good entertainment. Isnt that what we are seeking? This fireing shows how far C2C has fallen as far as content.  I dont want to listen to Angels and miricle cures.  I want aliens and CIA leakers and time travelers, etc...  Only ART and WELLS could deliver the goods.  Heres to the future.  Salute!

Art:
I cc'd you and John in on my email to all the hosts and staff at C2C/Premiere.  I hope you get a kick out of it. I posted it on BellGab too: http://bellgab.com/index.php?topic=5640.0

You should SOO be a guest on Caravan to Midnight!

[PB the Deplorable]

I was surprised to learn Art has started and quit 2 shows since Dark Matter

[bigchucka]

Before he goes on the air spewing ratings numbers again, Alex Jones needs to have his people look into this.  I want Art's counts, George's, and John B's.

[Scully]

Am I the only one who's checked out the webpage of the writer of this article, Dave Hodges?  It appears to me that he is a John B. Wells clone who has every reason in the world to reiterate whatever Wells is claiming to be true, including the ratings info.

Art posted the Hodges article on Facebook alongside the post he duplicated here.  For some reason, though (unless I missed something on another thread), Art didn't post the article itself here on Bellgab.  Paper Boy did, for which I give him full credit.

Rumors are growing legs here, and they are coming from more than one direction.  Check it out, Guys.  Check it out.

Nothing in that article surprises me. It's all one big sordid, convoluted affair over there. We can thank Art for blowing it all up by selling out, years ago.

Clearly Hodges/Wells have lots in common..
I think Art was focusing on the facts behind the handling of Wells' termination, and not necessarily the politics or personality ..

Yeah, if Art thinks it has a ring of truth to it, that's good enough for me. He above anyone should know. Certainly he knows more about the radio business than anyone who posts here.

Why should they be any different from the rest of us?

Jorch doing his best Gomez Addams and Julie looking a little Morticia.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Is George kidding with that hair dye? Every time I see a picture of him I get annoyed because just looking at how retarded and pathetic his hair dying is reminds me of how retarded and pathetic C2C has become. I don't care if a man wants to hide his aging but George looks like he shoves his head in a vat of ballpoint pen ink and thinks none of us are the wiser.

[ItsOver]

Jorch looks like he's ready to take their drink order.  "Lesh see.  Thash one Dewars on the rocks and one Shirley Temple.  You look ravishing tonight, Ms. Julie.  Did you know I sing..." 

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Ahh... this was kind of mean and I'm editing it. I just wanted to say "smashing uglies."

(Rubs foot in the dirt and looks away with shame)

George dyes his hair?

George dyes his hair?

I think it's fairer to say he dyes his plugs.
