Art Bell is back!!!

**TheRifleman** · 07-30-13, 08:53 PM

A Sirius representative contacted Bell through social media a few months ago, leading to the formation of his show, "Art Bell's Dark Matter." He'll talk about things like UFOs, ghosts, near-death experiences and weird aspects of science. He'll do interviews and take calls from viewers.

Scott Greenstein, Sirius XM president and chief content officer, said the show will be "uncensored, unrestricted, uncluttered and utterly unique."

"There's probably more interest in the genre now than when I did it," Bell said. "When I did it, I was damned near alone."

Bell was on some 500 radio stations nationwide and "quit when he was at the top of his game," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers, a magazine that covers the radio industry.
Harrison said Bell's subject matter has roots in old-time radio, and he predicted it will become popular once again in the coming years.
"He'll be looked at as one of the veteran, old masters," Harrison said. "He's the real deal when it comes to marching to the beat of a different drummer."

There's also a potential rivalry with George Noory, who replaced Bell on the syndicated show. Bell isn't a fan, saying he considers Noory "not edgy enough." Noory's program is on later at night, so the two will not compete directly live.

No contract terms were divulged.
Bell said he's intrigued to learn the differences between satellite and terrestrial radio.

"It seems to me they are the next step in technology," he said. "I've always been a technological junkie. The mix of what they're giving me, the freedom that they're giving me, is priceless."

Bell and Noory's shows are much different. Bell was much more well versed and knowledgeable on his subject matter than Noory. Noory sits there and oooh's and ahhh's through and interview while Bell was much more doing a give and take. Bell had better guests as well. Noory will get more into pop culture and religion or current events. Bell didn't need it to fill his time. Bell also had better callers. Even wanted your more bent California hippies to call in to guests.

I'd take the original Bell over milk toast Noory.

glad to have him back on radio. Unfortunately I dont have sirius.

**chipper** · 08-01-13, 02:07 AM

I used to love listening to him in the wee hours of the morning some 15+ years ago. Is he still broadcasting from the "kingdom of Nye" (Pahrump, NV)?

**Crystos** · 08-01-13, 03:51 AM

If they allow this guy to come back his message will be controlled...obviously

Yup Nye county

**Crystos** · 08-01-13, 08:09 AM

Seriously guys watch the first video

**MUHerd37** · 08-01-13, 03:28 PM

I like when he occasionally had the Friday night ghost stories or whatever. People would call in with their experiences. Loved it.

**Crystos** · 08-01-13, 03:31 PM

MU you have one of my favorite avatars...who is that?

**lesterdymond** · 08-01-13, 10:32 PM

I loved Sirius when it first hit the market with Stern, Bubba, & Ferrall plus all the NFL play by plays from every team but they dialed it all down the last few years. Will Art Bell & Sirius be around in a year? Maybe I will give it another shot.

I listen to a load of great shows if you like these types of subjects,
they are download/listen free on the internet.. I've never had Sirius..
used to listen to Bell in the 90's.. enjoyed his show but he did have a way
of being non-critical and not asking the tough questions.. imo he coddled
some liars and frauds.. so I won't be listening.. I'll stick with the shows I like.

YES!!! Art Bell was the AM radio trailblazer!!!

Loved to stay up late and listen to his program until the sun came up.

**I/O** · 08-02-13, 04:05 PM

Back when Art was really cooking, his show was second only to Rush. I was also told (don't know if it's true) that he may own the company that sells all those gadgets and survivalist supply stuff. Remember Y2K and all the crap he was pushing

Very true. He once got mad at someone talking about that whole Heavens Gate suicide fiasco. He said, "How do you know they are not on the meteor right now?"

**hankcream** · 08-02-13, 05:21 PM

The only way anyone can listen to this nut-job is if you're are on psychedelic mushrooms or smoking some amazing haze.

**I/O** · 08-09-13, 03:12 AM

Noory says the show is now broadcast out of 573 stations. Highest ever for his show.

**LVHerbie** · 08-09-13, 04:23 AM

Often when I was teenager I would stay up late listening to Art Bell but at some point I discovered porn and my 2 AM devotion to ufo and ghost stories was pushed aside for bigger and better things.

**PhillyFlyers** · 08-09-13, 04:05 PM

I can't wait for the day I hear this conversation when he gets his new show.....

Art: "Hello caller, you're on the wild card line..."

Caller: "Hello, is this Art?"

Art: "Yes, you're on the air"

Caller: "Hi Art, I wanted to call in about an experience I had oh about 14, 15 years ago now."

Art: "Sounds interesting, go right ahead please."

Caller: "Well I was driving down I-95 one night in North Carolina and I got lost and took an exit I didn't mean to take. As I was driving around looking for the way back, the road took me down a very woody stretch of road. So I'm driving through the woods and I see suddenly this glowing orange light appear to my right, in the middle of this swampy looking area.....

Art: "Gotta watch those woody areas."

Caller: "Yes, anyway as I'm watching this orange light in the woods, it started spinning and suddenly it appeared to grow bigger".

Art: "Amazing. These kinds of things always happen at night in the woods it seems."

Caller: "Well, I was scared to death at that point and I tried my best to get out of there but this thing rose up off the ground and started coming at me."

Art: "Oh my gosh. What a terrible situation to be in."

Caller: "The next thing I know, it's spinning over my car and my engine died. I look up at all this bright orange light and it's blinding it's so bright."

Art: "That is amazing. You must have been frightened out of your wits."

Caller: "Yes I was but then the next thing I know, the most AMAZING THING happens."

Art: "What?! The suspense is killing me."

Caller: "I heard a huge, booming voice coming from the object, Art."

Art: "A BOOMING VOICE!? MY GOD! what did it say?!"

Caller: "It said do not be afraid we will not hurt you. The next thing I know Art, I'm in some kind of room with these strange looking beings with huge eyes and they are staring at me. They look like they're seeing right through me".

Art: "MY GOD! Were they speaking to you?"

Caller: "Yes they were Art, and they gave me a message for all of humanity."

Art: "A MESSAGE FROM THE STARS! WHAT IS THE MESSAGE?!"

Caller: "They said......

BABA BOOEY!!!!!!!!!!!

The amount of air time Bell gave to that Christian End-of-times wack-job Gary North leading up to Y2K - he had to be getting a cut.
