Art Bell breaks silence on Noory retuning to Sirius XM

Full text is as follows from his latest post on Bellgab this afternoon

First of all my sincere congrats to Premiere Radio, they made the right move. Business is War
and I would have done the same exact thing, and did in my day.
Second, given the same circumstances I would make the same decision again today about Dark
Matter. There is much you do not know and I will not talk about because it was given in confidence
and I am kind of old school so I will not talk about those things even though it would help you to
understand my decision.
Third, I would love it if Sirius/XM would waive my NC but they said no and even though I could run
out and get a Lawyer and perhaps win back my freedom I will most likely not do that. If I were ten
Years younger it might be a different story, I will say this, It seems crazy as hell to me that we offered
exactly what Premiere ended up taking. Now Sirius/XM has a show that will be mostly commercials and
seems much less a good fit than Dark Matter with a Host who thinks a Typhoon in Vietnam causes rain
in Hawaii. (Last night’s show, first hour)
Fourth and finally I would like to say sorry to the people who did come over either by Radio or the less
than stellar streaming, trust me I understand your anger, I only wish you had enough information to
understand my decision.
Art Bell

It would certainly appear with this post, and the same post on Facebook, that the long career of Art Bell may in fact be over..

He’s not ten years younger..

And he appears resigned to his non compete clause…

Noory said Bell was ‘winding down.’ Little did anyone know that Noory was helping pull a string to unwind the career of the man who gave him his show so long ago..

Tuesday terrors

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 12 2013

A sampling of news from around the world.. For better or worse (You know what it normally is)

For those who did not listen last night, it was an amazing and important Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, titled “Camp for the useless Eaters” .. I really recommend you give it a listen..


I was moved to true emotion and sadness this morning looking at some images from the Philippines. I saw a photo, which I will not share due to the graphic nature, of a father holding his toddler in his arms.. he was weeping. She was dead.. he was taking her to the morgue. She was the victim of this tremendous disaster that will be the storm for the record books.. I cannot fathom the thoughts of what happened here.. I also cannot explain how angry I am at American media for their selfish attitude regarding news. They cover politics as though it matters.. they feed us trivial garbage, a steady diet of nonsense that spews from their talking head mouths. I dislike them not for who they are, but for who they pretend they are.. We don’t get news. Thank God for the Internet. I am going to post some links at the bottom of this update that, if you want help, you can click on and send whatever..

The situation in the Philippines has been officially designated a ‘calamity’ by the government there..

Bodies in the Philippines are being piled high in the streets.. I have a big fear that 10,000 dead is an understatement.. I really fear this..
Anger is rising..
Planes that are carrying important aid are grounded because they are TOO BIG to land at the disaster zone’s airport..
Photos of the wrath..
Even more disaster: Earthquake rattles the area hit by superstorm Haiyan..
There are also warnings coming that mudslides may be the next disaster that will unfold for this poor people..

Once again: I was amazed this morning: Tens of thousands potentially dead in the Philippines, China lost a lot of farms from the same storm, another storm kills hundreds in Somalia.. and the top story on the big three network morning news shows? The ‘cold’ in the United States and the coating of snow that some people got–a coating! It’s November. It gets cold. And it snows. Sometimes there’s cold November rain, so say the Guns N Roses. Sometimes snow. Either way, there was no coverage of the unfolding disaster in other nations. But other nations know what goes on in America–we just don’t know what goes on there.. Sickening, news media..sickening.

Sea turtles dying in Central America..

Record number of dolphins dying along the East Coast.. I have not seen any expert tie this in the with Gulf oil disaster from a few years ago.. Could this be the effects along the Atlantic coastline finally being felt?

This is the new America: Street lights shine in the night–and also watch your every move and listen to your every word..

A new look inside chicken McNuggets by a professor of medicine Richard deShazo. He described the ‘food’ as edible super glue, confirming may reports that the processed pieces of ‘meatlike’ substance is more cartilage, skeletal muscle, intestinal tissue, organ tissue, fat, blood vessels, and bone fragments than meat. And if you really want to see inside the food you’re eating, here’s some images and for $30 bucks, you can purchase the full medical study..

Scientists puzzled by lack of sunspots..

Philadelphia police investigate Instagram account that labels crime witnesses as rats..

Monsanto buys climate corp for $930 mil.

Fever: Beebs blame food poisoning for reason he walked off stage.
He was also booed by fans..

Lady Gaga will be first artist to perform in space…

Why some refuse to believe in the paranormal..

Games: ‘PARANORMAL’ has a frightening potential..


Painful protest: Artist Pyotr Pavlensky nails his testicles to Red Square!


A Welsh family is sick of living on Butt Hole Road. They are attempting to rename it Button Hole Road.
I myself like the Butt Hole part, maybe just rename if “Circle.”

The late shift wars, radio version

And you thought the Leno vs Letterman duel in the 1990s was exciting!

On October 31, George Noory, using the popular message board BELLGAB.COM, changed his avatar to a crown.. 
People thought he was proclaiming himself the king of paranormal radio. Instead, it may have been a hidden message that, only last night, was revealed to the world..

When Art Bell quit DARK MATTER on Sirius XM 104, he said it was because of the timeouts and other user related problems. A week ago, he even proposed a solution: Stream through Artbell.com, become an independent broadcaster, take no salary from Sirius, but still be exclusive to them.. Though he, his producer Paul Bowman, and webmaster Keith Rowland, all said that Sirius was considering the deal, the suits in D.C. never responded to the request.

Last night, the first night that Art Bell’s DARK MATTER had officially ended, Sirius XM replaced his program with Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.

As expected, message boards across the internet woke up with anger and confusion. Was this the hidden back story that Art Bell alluded to? For days now, he wrote cryptic statements on BELLGAB, wondering aloud if ‘big money’ had something to do with ‘something’ going on behind the scenes.

The ink on his deal with Sirius had never even dried before, apparently, some form of negotiation started to occur with Premiere Radio..

George Noory himself even took to BELLGAB last night to defend himself–some of the messages he was publicly receiving consisted of unabashed rage and anger. Noory said, in full:

Here you go folks. This is WHAT happened. As many of you know, we were on XM for years . The end of OCT that channel went away. We knew this was coming for months prior. WE began negotiations to get Sirius/XM to BUY the rights to air my show. When Art went on Sirius those negotiations continued. We didn’t know what channel we’d be on, but I wanted to flow after Art’s Dark Matter .It would have been a strong channel. He up and RESIGNED. We then got the offer we were waiting for and had two options for channels 104 and a truckers channel. We selected 104. We are NOT in Art’s original 7pm-10pm PT slot. we start at 10PM PT. He RESIGNED. We never expected that…and frankly he made a mistake , I believe. Don’t blame us for getting BACK on a satellite network we were ON in the past.

What is interesting about Noory’s statement is the time problem. Art Bell’s original show was going to air from 7pm PDT to 10pm PDT, but he expanded it to four hours .. Additionally, the HORROR REPORT spoke to Art Bell in August, before his show began to air on Sirius, and he explained that he has the entire night and could, if he wanted to, expand the show to a full eight hours. The HORROR REPORT asked him, if there was a breaking news event, could he extend the program if he desired to cover it..

The fact that Sirius was negotiating with Noory, planning on taking away his hours of repeat (or potential live shows) and replace it with Coast to Coast AM, is beyond interesting. It may be paranormal radio treason!

It could explain some of the back story as to why Bell suddenly vanished from extraterrestrial radio.

In the 1990s, there were rumors and tales that Jay Leno would hide in closets to hear executive meetings on the TONIGHT SHOW and David Letterman’s fate.  In the 2000teens we have a whole new late night war, this one on radio…
