I hope word of mouth spreads quickly via social media, Facebook, twitter about Art Bell's return and how his loyal fan base is still here.

Someone tweeted last night during the test run show that there were 35,000 people listening in on the internet stream. They weren't sure how many were listening to the shortwave affiliate. But 35K is pretty substantial for a "soft launch" which was nothing more than Art Bell trying out the Skype calls. There were glitches toward the end of the show and he cut the show short 30 minutes. He mentioned that at the top of the show tonight, but all and all, I thought it was great to hear him back behind the mic again.

That's pretty good for last night. I am just so glad he's back. :D Love this bumper music! Isn't that the same voiceover guy from the old days "Wanna take a ride?"
