Oh, dear...that doesn't sound good.

Maybe he's cutting back to four days a week? That would be okay with me. I hope it's nothing drastic like he's only doing weekends.

Considering he took tonight off, and then later on decided to post that, I would definitely guess cutting back the show.

4 nights a week and a better family life would be a good middle ground...

Johnny Carson didn't work Mondays after July, 1971.

Great, i am making real progress here MV owns bellgab.
What an interesting name MV. I wonder if the initials stand for an actual name or whether MV is just a real short handle he selected. Also I wonder why the owner of Bell Gab, would have any input into the future direction of Art Bell??
just curious

Geez i feel like i am dealing with a bunch of high school click masters here.
Is it that big of a deal to say what "MV" stands for and whom that person is/does/ in relation to Art Bell. If you want to have your status in tack, you can always send me a private message
thanks...i think

You'll have to excuse the board to some extent. Many are pre-occupied with the thought-scrambling announcement of impending big news starting next week.

Anyway, post early and post often.

Just my guess, I hope I'm wrong, but really if it's better for Art in the long run I have no problem with 4 nights a week, honestly.

Hey, did you know they are going to start playing his old shows on the OTA in Jan 2016?

I think folks are overreacting...he actually worked Labor Day Monday! He can take a Friday off!

henge0stone · September 18, 2015, 04:56:35 PM

Art if your going to cut back to 4 days a week I beg of you to take Monday off instead of Friday. Friday is the only night a large majority of people can listen and its so much fun to hear a live show. Or you could switch between Monday and Friday so we would at least get a live show every other Friday.

NXOEED · September 18, 2015, 04:57:13 PM

So does this mean I shouldn't finish drawing the updated promo thingy I'm almost done with?

Hi NXOEED! How have you been, brother? YES, finish it! LOL...all will be good!

bobo17 · September 18, 2015, 04:59:10 PM

Thanks
I am hoping the news is that Art is going back to Coast to Coast AM with some kind of agreement for less commercials. While i do listen to Midnight in the Desert on my Ccrane WIFI radio, i do miss listening via a terrestrial radio. Something about the clicks and clacks, fade in fade out, gives it a real atmosphere.

Yes. He's already beating Colbert in the ratings.

SciFiAuthor · September 18, 2015, 05:00:32 PM

I'm betting that a major station dropped Dave in favor of Art, and that will be the "shock for some".

trostol · September 18, 2015, 05:00:32 PM

Art is gonna do a variety show like Carol Burnett or Soupy Sales

Hi buddy. Good to see you. I guess I'll hold off until Monday before I put it out there, just in case.

Just checked. I get the channel. Cool. Thanks, Chef.

Would really like to see the old, old Carson shows, but alas. Apparently, someone in the store room back then thought it'd be a good idea to throw out those reels to make more room. Hope they don't do that with the Moon rocks.

coaster · September 18, 2015, 05:34:41 PM

Maybe art is retiring and having someone fill his spot. Who knows. I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I pay to listen to Art. If anything about the show changes, like Art leaving, I'm no longer supporting the show. If that pisses people off, so be it. Hopefully hes just taking another night off or something.
