Love the new dark matter, although, art really fucked the flat earth debate by getting a scientist on one side and a teenage twat on the other. There are actual scientists who subscribe to fe...

Anyway,

What the fuck is with the hundred minutes of shit American adverts every hour?! I feel like I'm listening to Alex Jones!

Art said there would be a maximum of five minutes an hour of shit American adverts. Really disappointed

i haven't actually timed the amount of hourly commercial content.  anyone know what the actual count is?

Two minutes at :00 :15 :30 and :45  of each hour I think.

I have zero problems with the ads. Some nights Dark Matter Radio News is as good as MITD itself.

This week has been rough.. haven't really enjoyed anything. Last night was an assault on my ears and even more of an insult to human intelligence.

if that's true, then eight minutes per hour is totally acceptable to me.

I think you're counting the 'paranormal news' segments? They're done in a very similar tone to the 'American' ad style, or at least that's how it sounds to non-americans. (for the record, Brit adverts are just as shitty, but less hyperactively in-yer-face at 530am) I was dubious about these segments at first, but they're really growing on me.

well,  I'd like to see the verified numbers before saying anything.  I dont really mind commercials if there are 2 mins 4 times an hour.  Thing is I HATE commercials period so when I hear them I'm always like ahhhh crap.


and life without ART?? we can never forget the dark ages of the Noory Reicht.

Art Bell blasphemers shall be damed into the bioling pits of C2C suckage forever!

After editing my streamWriter rip (for my personal archive, thank you... I prefer live for the bumper music) of last night's show for ads and show promos (I also happen to like the weird-news segments) it breaks down as 157/180 minutes of real show content... just 23 minutes of crap over the three hours or a mere 7.6 minutres of ads and promos per hour  ;)

I really like these segments. You know the show is good when I don't want to step away, even from breaks.

Excellent reminder The General!  I hope you don't have to post this again.

There are 3 commercial breaks per hour, at 2 minutes per commercial.  If snoory's left sock is pink, how many lbs of purple make one full lamp?

Answer: 6 Minutes!

Would you rather Art be back on Premier where there was probably 40 mins per hour of commercials? lol

by no means am I complaining, but I think the commercial counter is off a little. That or the bumper music is a lot longer than I thought

(these include the ashcroft news)

actual show may vary depending on the bumpers.  and they count as show so.... i think bellboys numbers are probly right... point is ACTUAL commercial to show ratio is severely bent to the show side... so much so that ITS NEGLIGIBLE!

psycheinaboat

I have no problem with the time spent for commercials, but I do listen to a lot talk radio and AM.  Art doesn't have as much foolishness being advertised during his show - the others kill me with gold and nutritional supplements (snake oil).

cweb

It's amazing how people can flip out over a few extra minutes of commercials and a show or two with guests they don't like.

But then The General hit the nail on the head...

Indeed.

bateman

All of 6 months ago we didn't even know for sure if Art was coming back. Now that he's back 5 nights a week, we have complaints about a few minutes of commercials.

For the record I'm listening on pirate Bay.

As I'm asleep when it's live.

Maybe I'm getting more ads because there seem to be way more than 7 or 8 minutes and hour...

For the record, I was/am glad to see you return, but... faux pas m'sieur. Go say a thousand Hail Noorys.

Fuck it, I'll come out of the closet here: I am not yet a Time Traveler.
My online banking is completely snarled up, they won't give me a new password and I haven't mustered the emotional strength to phone them up and fight about it. So no Paypal for me. When I sort this out I'll join and happily pay the higher sub. Yet I'm bloodyminded enough to make a point of not looking for torrents. This isn't even out of respect for Art, it's about respect for BellGab, the Haturz and the Scorpion Army... also a studied insult to Noory. Either I stay up till 5am and listen live or miss the show and look forward to someday having a backlog of fresh shows (without adverts).

This isn't really an attack on the esteemed but misguided Mr Bee... I just had to get it off my effin' chest!!!!1

Help support the show, become a time traveler.

I hope art goes with a special line tonight. People want to toss out some suggestions? plenty of open lines this week. Time for a special line.

How about a "Hi Art! Fuck you! I'm pirating your show!" line? El Bee can be his first caller ;)

elbee

Will me becoming a time traveler mean I wont have to download the show from TPB? Just so were CLEAR! I'll pay for it, if I don't have to listen to those awful adverts!

Also, Fuck you noory!

You could pay for it twice and then not listen to it at all. I believe this satisfies your proffered conditional.

Look, look--standards have been elevated since you've been gone.

The General

I will not be satisfied until Art provides me with a commercial free, 8 hour, no cost program that includes a free podcast, free C Crane radios, a box of complimentary Pizza Punch, and a dedicated Bellgab call in number.

Oh, and I want to see Art's Part's, Bugs' map, and written description of the Ouija Board story.
