My mom loved Art Bell. Hated George Noory.

Well I’ll be.

OK Mr. Bell, I think you’ll probably read this.

I would like to say three simple things.

1) I’ve been a coast to coast listener since you were hosting.

2) I think Mr. Noory is good, but so are you, in fact I think the two of you are very evenly matched. I would (very much) welcome a bit of a competition between the two of you.

3) Expand on your marketing. I won’t spend money to listen to you. But I will, if you give me some way free to listen. Just saying...

Welcome back Sir.

Hope this goes as well as it should.

:D

Yes, he has come to his senses. No “maybe” about it.

I remember I was a night owl for a while, I found Art Bell entertaining often. I couldn’t stomach Noory at all.

Bell always impressed me as a sexual pervert.

I like them both.

They’re the perfect competition.

I am looking forward to a knock-down drag out fight now.

Hope Art Bell ventures out beyond the closed cable, and takes on Noory head to head.

:D

I learned how to detect lies in speech patterns listening to his show. It is very entertaining though.

They have a 30 day free trial on the internet, if you start it just before the show you could listen free for a month on the net.

Thanks, I may just try that out. I'd have to re-jigger some things to justify the monthly $18 to keep it, though.

Much appreciated.

Art Bell is a master communicator. George Noory is a passable interviewer.

One paints masterpieces, and the other paints houses.

I used to harass her about listening to “kook” radio at nights. Then I set up and listened with her a few times. Art Bell made it interesting and it wasn’t always kooks. I tried listening to Noory but it wasn’t the same. I’m sure Mom will be listening from upstairs when the new show starts.

I disagree...Art Bell had interesting guests and topics. I like him way more than George. Looking forward to hearing his show.

Art Bell is a master communicator. George Noory is a passable interviewer.

Bell is a master interviewer; he could handle anyone no matter how absurd their claims and still let them maintain dignity and speak for themselves. He did not believe all the loons or tell his audience what to think.

Briefly, there was another replacement who did the job so poorly that the network brought back Bell--I cannot recall his name, but he was handed Bell's show and proceeded to lose audience and stations. Noory is better, but he is not the interviewer Art was.

I believe that was George Noory. If you recall, Art tried to retire once, but couldn't, because he hadn't properly grooved in a competent replacement.

From what I remember, he'd had George fill in for him several times already, so George took over full time during Art's first abortive attempt to leave. I think I'm recalling that episode correctly, but it was about ten years ago, so my memory of it may be off a bit.

I distinctly remember when George officially took over after Art's final departure. The man was so fake and wooden, I could hardly stand to listen to him. He got better (and more relaxed) over the years, but he's never matched Art's level of skill and ability behind the mic.

I don’t think he’s actually a truther, but he certainly gives them a lot of latitude.
But God forbid somebody should bring up an Obama-related conspiracy theory.
Incidentally , Art said he was voting for Obama in 2008. I don’t know about 2012. He must have kept his American citizenship. He went down in my estimation some when I heard this.
Ian is gone now, but I like him much better than Wells. Are you aware that Wells was peddling Sandy Hook conspiracy theories?

Mike Siegel replaced Bell in April of 2000. He lasted until February 2001. Siegel left when Bell returned to the show.
