Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[tertiaryimam]

Let me preface this by saying that I got the following information from the article on artbell.com and not from watching the Kardashians. There was a segment on the Kardashians where they went on a bus to Area 51 and met up with Travis Walton and another guy and they gave them a tour of the surrounding area. C2CAM is mentioned in the clip. *shudder*

That shit makes me want to leave the country.

Well, here's my latest commentary on the whole mess.

And my announcing the moves toward getting a podcast with me and Tertiary Imam. It WILL happen but it will NOT compete with Gabcast ( which I could emulate but not probably surpass ), but it might compete with the Gaffecast we hear every night on Premiere.

Ok, I worked in radio for 25 years, and in fact, my first job was at WAVZ in New Haven, where Art Bell, in "The Art of Talk," says he walked away from a job decades ago. WAVZ was a legendary top 40 station. I believe that, while streaming is all fine and good, that, since SXM is a dead issue at this point, that the ONLY way for Art to have a financially viable show (the more listeners = higher ratings = more advertisers and advertisers that get results) is for Art to stream AND do terrestrial radio. Art, call Lew Dickey at Cumulus Radio. You know Lew wants to win the game with Clear Channel/Premiere. Lew Dickey (Cumulus CEO) could give you the shift you want (if you don't want to stay up all night, Art, I'm sure he'd give you 10p-2a eastern). Art, you know that you need to BROADcast to a BROAD audience. The streaming NARROWcast is just icing on the cake.  If you want, I know people at Cumulus. I can get you a number (though Arr, I think you know who to call at Cumulus). Art, don't feel bad about hurting Noory's show. I have learned over the years not to look back and do the right thing. Art, really, do you think Noory's gives a crap about you?  Art. Please. Call. Cumulus. Now.

This makes sense to me

I imagine they were quoted a price. 

It said lawyers as little as half an hour ago. I checked on my ipod just after I got done with work. It was recently changed.

[malachi.martini]

He's saying that if he would have gone on letting things continue to remain unfixed then he would be no different from Noory.

Really?  Did you just say that?

He's mentioning the hours to explain himself, if anything.

If you are here solely because you hate George Noory, I'd stick to posting the George Noory threads. I'm here because I like Art Bell and could give half a flying fuck about George Noory, that's why I don't post in GN threads. I'm sure if I did I'd sound like a real asshole.

So you condone shit slinging when it comes to Noory by Art in this thread, but you're too tender to allow that some FANS of Art can level entirely legitimate complaint against his behavior?  So silly.

You're mentioned in the 2nd one too, though I don't know how you're watching it since Australia doesn't exist.

OMG.  Sounds beyond awful.  I'm glad I listened to my gut-instinct and decided not to watch that clip.

"Guys are using cellphones all the time, they don't have a land line... Very few people in this country Art use land lines anymore, they're using cellphones!"

Not 5 minutes in and Falkies killing it.

"911!! 911! Oh wait...you know to let them cool off first? What are you, some kind of genius?"

When one is as advanced and wise as Art Bell your microwave doesn't just come with the standard buttons like DEFROST & POPCORN it comes with PIZZA ROLL!

No 3rd degree burns, just let the goooooooood times roll 

[Ravenna]

He calls you Jazzmundo.
ha ha.  I can't believe I'm watching this.

Jazzmundo sounds cooler, anyhow.  Sounds like some weird kind of yoga mixed with martial arts, all done to a jazz soundtrack.

It's cool. It's my nickname for my daughter which is sometimes Jazmunda, Jazmundo, Jazmindi, Jazmini, Jazmundasize. She has lots of aliases.

Wait til you get to the tin can stuff. Comedy gold. Great job Falkie.

Aren't all you folks chest thumping this post forgetting the non-compete Art has says he will honor?

Taking risks like those... Do you have producer Paul on speed dial and does he know where the nearest hospital is?

I would agree with this.  In this day and age, this time of non-plenty, people just don't want to pay $15 a month to listen to radio, no matter how many cool stations they get for that price.  Sirius is *not* the wave of the future, imo.  Free online "radio" streaming is, and old-school radio via an actual radio still is very viable for many people, too.  It's free, and that's the operative word when so many people are struggling financially.  (And it's going to get worse next year, I'm hearing... prepare for another dip, people).

[malachi.martini]

Yeah, it's the incessant circle jerk, as though there were some perfect medium that Art hasn't already quit.

We are all Kremlinologists now......

Oh thats a good one.

[DanTSX]

So are we going to make George answer the 6 Questions too?

[1964kid]

ROSS MITCHELL ! Another reason to call Cumulus is that Cumulus hired Ross (Art's announcer on Dark Matter and former Coast To Coast announcer) when Clear Channel/Premiere canned him. Ross now works for Cumulus. So Art, go be with your friend, Ross Mitchell. Go home. Go to Cumulus.

But,  yes, the Non-Compete may be an issue.
