Should Art change the name of the new show?

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

This one's a good one too.

I've already awarded someone the internets so would you accept a 28.8K vintage modem.

Yes and thank you for that award!!!!  That will go alongside my grade seven trophy for most improved in my 5-pin bowling league.

I'm sensing some of you are bitter.   

i know i am

[paladin1991]

I burned all my bridges in radio and all I got was this lousy internet show

Mail-order wives weekly with Art & Major Ed

Hmmm, then his intro music could be 'Burning Bridges' by the Mike Curb Congregation.

[sydtron]

heres an idea-

Art: "Say friends, as you well know. I love to stay up late!  Wanna know my *cough cough*  secret?
Why its the warm smokey flavor of Cheaterfield Ciggeretts.  *Hack sploot*
RCH: "Heeeeeeeey Art!  Did you know they come in menthol now? *SPLORT*
And with the new mars rover holder. You can smoke them at 19.5 degrees!  What do you say Art?"
*Picture of arts chair and microphone* sign says "I quit"

I do not care about the name, I just hope guests like the numbers lady and RCH have no place on the show.

The Number's Lady has only been Noory's guest, but Hoagland was on last year with Art so expect him to return...

I wonder how many people will actually have a computer to follow Art's show?


Wouldn't it be great if Art and CCrane will begin selling palm pilots for those who aren't able to get to a desktop or laptop during his shows?

[Gd5150]

How about: "Silly Tales of the Weird Wild and Wacky Shtuff with Art"

I just hope the new show pays hammage to the person most responsible for the continued success of coast to coast, UFO Phil.

He should sell coffee: "coast to coast roast, we'll keep you up at night".

Daggit,
I like Midnight In The Desert, or Somewhere in Time.
I hope the new show is in fact at midnight. Anyone have thoughts about how the new show will work. I would assume that one will go to AB.com, register, pay and then have access to online streaming.
I always enjoyed the "overnight" aspect of Art, his show, and his voice. Listening to Art Bell in sunlight just isn't the same for me.

[Delphi]

This is 1 way I know how his new show will be available.

I wouldn't mind a name with decoded in it...  Like decoded in the desert.. Or  paranormal decoded... Idk

I like that idea. He needs an Art Bell decoder ring too. Send in 5 pizza roll proofs of purchase and get your decoder ring. Which fans would use to decode upcoming guests. Thursday nights guest: 12-13-8. Only those using their 1bit Art Bell encryptor ring would know that meant LMH.

Yeah, Somwhere in Time does have a cool sound.  Especially if he has Michio Bukkake and a few other learned men to explain in layman's terms the science of Time, Time Dilation, Time Travel, Galactic Travel, etc.  Notice I said 'learned men', that would exclude Hogland.

Haha you had me Rollin.. . Good stuff

[TheMan WhoFell ToEarth]

Hell, Art should just give up the ghost and join the Gabcast.

[Morgus]

A smartphone or tablet with wifi would work too via the free TuneIn app.

[Delphi]

You don't even need an app... just the link I posted above

Paladin1991, Learned men, indeed. LOL

[WhiteCrow]

That would be the ticket to make big bucks.... 

[DanTSX]

heres an idea-

this one

[Daggit]

The Bell Files.

[Northern Nights]

heres an idea-

This made me LOL like a fool.

[Wintermute]

Should he change the name of the show? YES


What should it be? As long as it has "with Art Bell" at the end of it, anything is good.


Dark Matter was a bad name. It's the name of the stream now so it's redundant as well as undescript. Names of media should be descriptive when in a crowded field.

I thought Dark Matter was a horrible name with little to no marketing thought put into it. I'm not asking Art to go out and hire a fancy Marketing company to come up with a name but I agree that it needs to have his name in it and be a bit more descriptive.

Perhaps he should solicit names through his website or Facebook to get some creative ideas.

[sydtron]

Tales From The Velvet Throat.....With Art Bell..
Featuring the Hee Haw dancers.

I always thought DarkMatter was a good name for the show.

Marketing package (branding plan + graphics + media setup) is rarely over $2000 for a pro service. I've gone the DIY route and I've hired out... pros are pros because of their experience. The results are usually better. The time it takes to get up and moving is usually shorter. And they have connections to other services. IMO, it can be worth it.

Art doesn't seem like the "engage a professional" type. He seems more like an old school DIY guy as witnessed in his last ill fated venture.

[henge0stone]

He should keep the name but change the intro music. I mean ride my seesaw didn't fit with Dark matter. Something magical like loreena mckennitt or some classic Cusco songs.

[Catsmile]

At this point I'll be impressed if Art does a show at all, for any length of time.
And could care less if he calls it "My Mail Order Child Bride Plus Cats"
And lets little Asia bang pots and pans for the inro music.
