    FLASH: ART BELL WILL BE ON THE GABCAST

    It has been a wild few months since Art Bell abruptly left MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT. Since that time, current host Heather Wade has been forced into a muddy position of fighting with members of the message board she was frequented, BellGab.Com.

    Even more, Bell himself used Facebook to disavow himself of the message board, calling it a meaner place filled with trolls. Wade and Steve Warner, Bateman on Bellgab, even had a very public fight in which Warner accused Wade of repeatedly calling him begging him to do MIDNIGHT. Wade countered back that she was trying to prove Warner wouldn’t do it. Public airing of laundry.. whether dirty or not..

     

    Wild indeed.

     

    And now even more wild given the news that Bell himself will appear on the Gabcast this coming Thursday February 4, 2016.

    Bell took to Bellgab.com for the occasion, saying,

    I said I would do the Gab Cast and I will, however if it is filled with people attacking my Family or truly foul stuff I won’t be there long. I hope this can be done in a adult way and I hope that is not to much to ask. I don’t mind hard questions but I do ask that people be civil.

     

    Undoubtedly it will be an open and honest conversation with the emotions of fans who feel scorned and a host who, at this point, may or may not return to the air//

    Rowland with the punches: Keith calls it quits, Art Bell may too

    If it’s not a website being hacked, it’s a quitting. Tonight, Art Bell announced to fans that his friend for years and webmaster, Keith Rowland, is calling it quits. With his absence, Bell hints, there is a less of a chance he will return to the air this summer for the planned July MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT.

    In full, Bell writes,

    Announcement

    I am sorry to announce that Keith Rowland has informed me tonight that he no
    longer wants to move forward (he quit). This follows a conversation I had with him in which I asked him to not snap at people. I was concerned because he was in charge of the Business side of the deal which is a lot of work and involves dealing with people. Business is built on relationships. He said the stress of all this was to much for him which is understandable because there is a great deal to do on his side. He further told me that he will turn his Network over to somebody else. All this was as much a shock to me as I am sure it is to you.

    As a result of this, it is less likely that I will move forward because I can not handle both The Talk Host part of the job as well as the Music License matters, the Streaming deals that have to be made, the Website, the Producer he had lined up and much more.

    Since I have already bought all the Studio gear I will go ahead and build the Studio with the hope of finding a way forward. This is not me saying I quit, it is me saying that right now I don’t see a way to get it all done. If I can find a way, I will do so, but this is kind of a stopper for the moment. I will keep you all informed.

    The incident Bell is hinting to occurred this weekend when BELLGAB was hacked and taken down, Rowland wrote a Tweet critical of the webmaster. Rowland took the tweet down and also apologized.

    The latest development is a surprise to Bell fans. He and Rowland have long been a team. Rowland even hosted a site ArtBell.net for years while Bell was incognito and absent from radio.

    The HORROR REPORT has reached out to Rowland for commentary on tonight’s development.  We will update accordingly should any further information abound. We additionally are interested if Rowland will continue as Bell’s webmaster, as the site was updated tonight with this information: http://artbell.com/art-puts-comeback-on-hold/

    Meanwhile, this strange news comes hours after George Noory Tweeted this:

    While it would be a bit wild to speculate that Noory knew anything of this, it surely is interesting timing. He mentioned ‘war’ before BELLGAB was hacked, and now  promised something ‘big’ before Keith Rowland quit Art Bell’s DARK MATTER and MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT..

    George Noory investigates

    With the thrilling day of high drama at BELLGAB, Sunday night just won’t end quietly.. Hours ago, Bellgab redirected to George Noory’s COASTTOCOASTAM.COM, but tonight Noory himself is posting messages on the site that was hacked earlier.. Minus the ‘crown’ avatar, Noory stuck with the koala bear. He wrote,

    Rest assured folks we were just as baffled as you and were conducting an investigation to see if my site had any unusual activity its bizarre

    He additionally addressed the concern by some that he was threatening a ‘war’ with Bell’s fans.. Noory wrote,

    Not war with bellgab lol I meant were are about ready for war in the middleast yetpeople were concerned about my avatar

    In the spirit of the increasingly tense verbal battle as the July 20th MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT premiere, Art Bell wrote,

    Hey George, when your done with your investigation perhaps you can help out with the St Louis PD internal probe.

    Bell added,

    Dave’s actions are getting worse and his excuses for them much worse.

    The whirlwind of a Sunday with the FTP nightmare facing MV at Bellgab may have ended. But showcasing how popular the site has become, it is yet again the epicenter evidencing differences between both camps of fans.

    It indeed was a strange day. To borrow a term from Coast’s host, ‘bizarre.’

    But the clear loser of a day? A guy from Pittsburgh who had a planned interview with George Noory sidelined by fate.

    In the words of Graham Hess in SIGNS: Everybody in this family needs to just calm down and eat some fruit or something..
