Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[ItsOver]

This is like Ryan Seacrest killing Dick Clark.

Yep.  Except Ryan Seacrest doesn't look like Saddam Hussein.

[SixWeekTenure(tm)]

Art did not quit.
No one in their right mind would want to be an opening act for your pathetic excuse of a show, a show that only gets airtime because it's part of a packaged deal.

Art will get back on the air. Don't sleep too well asshole.

As vile as George Noory is, you can't honestly deny that Art Bell walked away from Dark Matter.

[Bigfoot]

Remember all the squawking that Sirius would NEVER let Art stream for free and have a presence on 104?

Don't hear too much from those folks now.

They're also not promoting C2C as exclusive to their network.

[dortmunder]

No, I don't think Art should ever work with Sirius again. They should however release him from his NC.

[Uncle Duke]

I don't think cc crane deserves any hate. Actually, can we just not hate at all? ._.

Out of the mouths of babes!  Like I said before, this is business.  These guys wear big boy pants, and they keep score.  Hating someone who out bid you makes no sense.

Sometimes when you are "all in" you win, sometimes lose. By mutual agreement Dark Matter will no longer air as of tonight.

[Falkie2013]

Boils and ghouls,

I think we should really hear Noory out.

We've been wrong before.

Noory didn't plan this. Noory didn't know.

Noory is a good broadcaster in his own right. Different than art, yes, but he covers some important topics aren't wouldn't touch.

We should give Noory the benefit of the doubt, too.

I for one want to apologize for everything I've said bad about Noory. It was done in anger and hurt. But, at the end of the day, even if I don't enjoy listening to Noory I admire his consistency and he provides comfort to a lot of people out there with his show.

Noory, I'm sorry buddy. God bless u.

I love ya, unpronounceable one.
But ... what in the hell are you smoking out there in the heartland ?
We've heard Noory make baldface lies over the years including one just a week or so on Gabcast.
If you'd like, I could play the interview on the phone where Noory says he got Art an attorney and Art has publicly said he never heard about an attorney. ( I recorded the entire interview/call as a video on my Iphone as well as my call for posterity so that someone would have it other than MV since apparently you can't copy the show. At least I couldn't. ).
Noory has lied so many times that Pinocchio is thinking of suing him for defamation of character.

[Catsmile]

Who wants to defend Noory now?

Who wants to say Art is simply a quitter now?

The hidden hand is revealed...

I love Art as a broadcaster.
But he went "all in" lost the hand and all his chips.
While he went to get more chips Prem Rat sat down at his vacant seat, and played there hand with SXM.
That's how all or nothing works out sometimes, folks.
SUCKS FOR US, FFFFFUUUU!

[Xitheron]

George,  would you comment on your avatar choice please?

[malachi.martini]

Fuck Art and fuck Noory.  Think I'll just use the night to sleep.  I've had it with flakey ass shows and hosts.  Goodbye all.

The most sensible post in this entire thread.

[Jocko Johnson]

He did NOT RESIGN you fucking idiot! He was trying to work out a better situation with them and you fucks just shit all over it! Go to hell you fucking whore!

Snorge get lost we don't care what u say. Deep down u know u suck and are a loser. No matter what tammy and the rest of ur losers and even yourself when you are all alone and look in that mirror...after it cracks, you know u suck and u know u are not a good guy u know it...that's why u try so hard to convince people but can you even convince...no way u cause u know u r a lying phony.  Just go away no matter what u say or do we know so take off.

[lonevoice]

When did the crown come?  If it was before Art left, it seems that it would show prior knowledge to his leaving?  That's all that's puzzling me.

Perhaps related, Dave Noorie logged into BellGab at 12:54AM this morning just to change his avatar to this one:



Sorry, Dave.  There has only ever been ONE king of Late Night Radio, and that's Art Bell.  You've never been anything more than a ridiculous and pathetic pretender to the throne.

[Baron Landscape]

Hey George, gonna get Clyde back on Sirius, I bet not

[popple]

Who are you talking to?

HAHAHA!

[TheGrimCreeper1]

Sorry. I cant convinced a bevy of attornies at another company to do that!!!!!

You aren't sorry about anything you puke. I hope Art finds a way to bury you and Coast.

Sorry Falkie, I didn't want to take the long walk to the liquor store --- I think they're closed anyway --- so I guzzled some mouthwash. Its like peppermint shnopz but with more burn in the kidney region. Interesting.

Ok I have something to say, CONTENT COUNTS. When I was with CC and was told to name my own price, it
was fewer commercials per hour. When I started with SXM I did four Hours and if you check you will find that
at least 3 1/2 of those hours were pure content.

Anybody can take four Hours and fill with a "nice guy" plus two and a half Hours of commercials and breaks
as well as Medical advice and promo's about how to invest 13 cents a day and call it a show.

The deal I offered should have been snapped up because as I have said it was a big win-win for everybody
concerned. That it was not, as of yet, still makes me believe there are other things at work here, only time will
tell. But I promise you this I did not WANT to quit, I was in a situation where the road forward was not viable.
I still want to be on the air now, I hope you all believe that and if I can find a way to be, I WILL.

This is all I needed to read.  We are with you Art.

No, I don't think Art should ever work with Sirius again. They should however release him from his NC.

They won't release him from his non-compete, Art is out for two years unless SiriusXM takes him up on his offer as an independent broadcaster.

Ok, so Noory changed his avatar October 31st. Art spoke up on the Halloween Show. Ok. I'm putting the pieces together.

[littlechris]

This is like Ryan Seacrest killing Dick Clark.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^GREAT ANALOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[shell88]

As vile as George Noory is, you can't honestly deny that Art Bell walked away from Dark Matter.

No I can't. And filling that slot quick with the easiest, most economical, and reliable program was a no brainer for siriusxm.  And, if they already had the contract signed and deal done = presto.

gonna have the shits from that... not saying it's a regular thing but I was young once.

last week...

where's my fucking mouthwash?

[1964kid]

George, as much as what you say could be 100% true, it's all about PERCEPTION. And that perception is like if some younger guy threw Dr. Johnny Fever under the bus. Arthur Carlson would've never allowed that, God rest the big guy's soul.

In two years I'll be 28. I won't have time for childish things like the paranormal then!

[Jocko Johnson]

Doesn't say much for Brinkley's ethics either, does it ?
I thought he and Art were supposed to be such good friends.
If I'd been Brinkley, I would have said :

" Are you crazy ? You take over Art's channel and YOU want ME to go on your program when you take it over ? "
" NO fucking way. Art's a friend of mine and came to my aid with his wife when everyone thought I was gonna die. "

So much for that friendship.

I'd love to know how much this truck drivers charity grosses and how much he gives away and how much he keeps and really makes.

[SciFiAuthor]

Sorry. I cant convinced a bevy of attornies at another company to do that!!!!!

Get your bevy of attorneys at Premiere to do it because you're risking a lot for nothing. This was so wrong George, if you're being above board then you need to be holding SiriusXM responsible for making a massive PR mistake on Premiere's behalf. Come on man, we all know Premiere has PR people. What, did you guys ignore them?

where's my fucking mouthwash?

I'm drinking it on the rocks, now. It goes down a lot smoother. And I found some good music to better my mood:

Bonanza Theme Song

Thank you. It's a custom built desktop by my uncle. I'll probably see if he has the warranty for it. The power supply looks like it's priced at 125. I removed a power supply from an older computer of mine, but it wasn't compatable... But I appreciate your advice. *hugs*

((Hugs)) 2u2 you are welcome.

So about the time Art was announcing his proposal about his wanting to do his own live streaming, the crown came?
