HOORAY!

Can't wait to see Falkie's video about this.

Clearly Falkie had a huge influence on Art's decision. THEY'VE BEEN IN-BOXING!!!!

Hi all here is a update,

Here is the way I see things: Starting in late July Dark Matter makes a return five nights a Week
from 9PM-12AM P.T. on DMRN. The Stream will be at a higher bit rate and FREE to all.

As I mentioned a Producer is needed and it looks like we have found a really good one, Paul will
also be able to assist.

I will be depending on all of YOU as well as my FB followers to spread the word far and wide on
Social Media. A blitz if you will, BUT not yet, it's still too early, but I will give you all the word, we don't
need magazine's and we sure do not need AM radio to spread the word, Social media has far more
power, I have seen what YOU can do.

We will start building the Studio in March or so and as I have mentioned I will absorb the cost
myself. This will be a labor of love because I do dearly love Talk Radio. There will only be enough content
from anything else to give myself a short break every hour, or put another way, almost no commercials.

There are other very exciting aspects of what this show will have, but again it is simply too early to give
away what is coming. Trust me it is exciting.

Dear Art Bell,

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Your Radio Pal,

Aldous

Mr.Bell, I LOVE YOU!! (in a non homosexual way)

You are the KING  of radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laserjock]

Mr. Art Bell, I'm glad I didn't give up and held on to believing you.  You know you have a huge fan base, even a liberal like me likes you, despite our differences.  So long as you challenge and probe guests instead of treat them like Moron Noory who takes what they all say as gospel, as long as you maintain integrity and remember that not everybody believes everything and that not everybody agrees with one side of politics or the other, as long as you are voice of reason and not bias, you will have me as a fan.

I've seen UFOs (back when I lived in Arizona), twice.  I believe that science cannot explain everything at its current state of the art, despite me being a physics science worker.  I know that a voice needs to speak out about the curious and hard to explain.  But I don't want a disengaged mumblgums, lazy, ignorant, illiterate, foolish liar to do that, and that is what Noory is.  He is a fraud.  While some of your guests over the years took a bit to take seriously, you don't give them carte blanche and you ask real questions and truly engage the guest and the audience.

I am glad I believed in your promise to return, I'll be listening and spreading the word, hugs to you and your family.  The night of your broadcast I'm ordering a pizza, I can hardly wait.  Maybe you could invite Professor Kaku again?

Just remember Mr. Bell, we're not all politically in lock step with the current state of the art in radio, and all sides of an issue need exposure.  Just please, for Heaven's sake, don't bring Alex Jones on, we need real guests.

While I've sent Art emails on this ( and other issues of the day ) I've not gotten any replies from him.


I do know he does ( or has ) watched my videos as does Noory.
In any event, its great news !

[georgegoldman]

So is there any takers on when Art will quit/retire again? 6 weeks or on Halloween of 2015? If Art quits again, is he going to have a Non compete clause again?

Noory, go away.


Don't you have a show to prepare for? (insert laugh track)

IMO Art has only truly retired from (or quit) radio when he stops breathing.

I wish that was true but he does have a track record for quitting/retiring on his fans.

Noory, go away.

Im not snoory.

[MV/Liberace!]

Lol, Art Bell is C2C. I would call this lady a real nasty four letter name that begins with c and ends with t, but I am too old and mature to use this adjective any more

BellGab user Treading Water is the forum's oldest user, and she uses the word regularly.

[RealCool Daddio]

Wow! I'd also gladly donate some funds if needed.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Art. All the best!

I'm happy to contribute some funds as well.

Art, feel free to contact Sirius to get a refund on the money I spent on your last return.  I'll split it with you 50/50.

[MV/Liberace!]

Ha,  I hope all the negative shits feel dumb lol.  Good news I knew it

On the most recent GabCast, we basically concluded there would be no Art Bell show in July.  Glad I was wrong.

reading this post made me want to extract a rectal core from myself using a nice spoon.

[paladin1991]

Well.  There it is.  ART FUCKING BELL coming in like a hurricane in July '15.  Snorry, time for you, Tommy, Lisa and Premier to bend the fuck over.  Maybe ART will use a little Crisco.....aaaaand maybe not.

I got my psychic degree from a school run by Ed Dames & Sean David Morton. Where did you get yours? In a Wheeties box?

Obviously I'm glad that once again I am proven to be a fraud.

Long live Art Bell.

Just read the news and I'm this happy

Terrific!  A great first step, Art's stated intention to come back.  Bar none, the best radio interviewer I've ever heard has committed to being back on the air where he belongs in six months.  Almost makes me want to write a poem, if I could write poetry.

All that said, I'm a practical, metrics kinda guy.  Bateman & Millard, the BG resident experts on the subject, what would be your best case estimate for an average night's listenership for Art's streamed program on DMRN?  Would you expect free internet programming to draw a larger or smaller crowd than the SXM abortion that was DM?  Clearly the initial offering will draw significantly greater numbers than down the road, but I'm asking about average nightly number worldwide for an internet show that lasts at least three months? 5K? 10K? 50K?

It is really hard to say. To date, I don't think the DMRN stream has ever cracked 1000 listeners on any given night. With Art back, that number would obviously increase, but I don't know if that means by a few thousand or by tens of thousands. I would actually expect the numbers to grow as time goes on, not drop off as they apparently did with Sirius.

How, exactly, do you know that either of them have watched your videos?

All the more reason Art needs to simulcast his live feed on high-traffic sites like YouTube.

Last year, the Video Game Awards switched from being broadcast live on cable television (SpikeTV) to streaming live on YouTube.  Guess what happened.  The viewership increased by 75 percent.  http://www.dailydot.com/geek/game-awards-ratings-surpass-spike-vgx/

YouTube live streaming can be a way for Art to create a whole new generation of fans.

[popple]

Yessss to a simulcast 

[SnapT]

Incidentally, as I type the 4th most popular livestream on YouTube is paranormal-related...

Good stuff!!

Hopefully Art is reading this.

[BattyBrooke]

I kid you not, I f*cking Bellgasmed when I read the announcement on Dark Matter.

[BattyBrooke]

THANK YOU, ART!!!! Because of you, it will be virtually impossible for 2015 to suck. WE LOVE YOU!

[Needle woman]

George is talking about Art's return right now.

[Needle woman]

He's being very gracious, wishing Art well.
