Art Bell started out as a disc jockey but drifted into political talk radio in the 1970s and saw a ratings boost when he veered into the realm of conspiracy theories and the paranormal. He espoused his belief in alien abductions, ghosts, crop circles report — and even that the Hale-Bopp comet that neared the Earth in 1986 was being followed by a UFO.

Soon, his late-night show “Coast to Coast” gained national syndication and allowed him to broadcast from his own Pahrump-based radio station, KNYE 95.1 FM. At the height of his fame, as many as 500 stations carried his show in the U.S. and Canada.

Died on Friday The 13th. Who says aliens don't have a sense of humor.

I remember first hearing him one night while driving back in the late 90's
and said listen to this crackpot talking about aliens and such
I got hooked and Been listening to the the show ever since.
Back then before XM had to chase him on the AM stations while driving
I liked Art better and be had better guests.
George is good but I think he kind of holds back on stuff and the guests
like they used to have

Art Bell is a legend. C2C radio took a major hit upon his departure. He was still podcasting though and I'd eagerly listen to some of his shows when I had time. He had the perfect voice for those "spooky" late-night alternative topics he'd cover on AM radio.

R.I.P.
