  • GET THE CCRANES READY: ARTBELL.COM RELEASES AN FAQ ON HOST’S RETURN

    GET THE CCRANES READY: ARTBELL.COM RELEASES AN FAQ ON HOST’S RETURN

    THE MODERN STUDIO. SIMPLE IS IN

    An excited Art Bell posted a link on his Facebook page to ArtBell.com tonight. The site announces a set of FAQs in relation to the MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT program set to appear this summer..


    You can read the full text of what Keith Rowland posted here.

    A couple of points worth repeating as well.. including this: Art Bell will most likely not be coming back in any form to terrestrial radio, according to the FAQ sheet. The program is made to work online–less commercials and more free flowing. Something that will not translate into the structured world of corporate stations..

    According to Rowland, the basics to know:


    The show is now called “Midnight in the Desert” and will broadcast LIVE from 9pm to Midnight Pacific, Midnight to 3am Eastern for FREE, Monday thru Friday.
    You can listen via this website, or use an app on your smartphone or tablet. Currently you can listen via the TuneIn app. Install TuneIn from your App store and search for Dark Matter Radio and you’ll be listening to the current schedule of shows.
    On-demand archives will be available under a subscription membership service, soon to be announced.


    The site advertises both a CC-WIFI or CC-WIFI2 radio from C Crane as the best means of hearing Bell, besides of course streaming directly from ArtBell.com. 
    Also, Bell can boast that he is merging the 21st century with amazing days of old: He will also be broadcasting MIDNIGHT on SHORTWAVE radio station 5,085 khz.  Rowland writes,

    We have made a deal with a shortwave station out of Tennessee, WTWW on 5,085 khz, a good frequency to be heard at that time of night. They will carry just the LIVE portion of the show.

    There will by SKYPE calls..
    There will be a message board–two actually, one not moderated at all..
    And there will be a message service to talk to Art during the show.

    The excitement is building..
    This seems very different from the SIRIUS radio setup. This time, Art Bell seems to be doing it not to prove a point, not to recreate magic, but to create brand new magic and be himself.

    Perhaps the best thing about SIRIUS was the mistake it all was.. the backroom deals between NOORY and Company.. the corporate ignorance of Bell’s simple requests.. And a two year respite non compete for Bell and Rowland to truly consider what approach they want.

    And fans love it.
    C CRANE may have their busiest year in some time.
    I for one will be making a call very soon..

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

    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.

    Art

    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..

    DEVELOPING..

  • George Noory investigates

    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..

  • Bellgab back after FTP nightmare

    Bellgab back after FTP nightmare

    HIGH DRAMA ONLINE..

    After hours of mysterious events leading to the vanishing act of BELLGAB, it has returned..

    Users were stunned late Saturday night when BELLGAB began redirecting to Coast to Coast AM’s official website.

    We can now confirm that someone hacked into the BELLGAB server and changed coding to create the redirect. Even more, the attack appears to have come from an international source.
    There may be legal ramifications–it is illegal to do such activity.
    However, the return of BELLGAB will end rampant speculation that the site’s owner sold out for a quick penny to Premiere Radio Networks..

    Now as far as that ‘war’ Noory warned of?
    While there is no evidence that pinpoints this attack from the direction of Noory or cohorts, it’s perhaps the opening battle truly of a long war before July..

  • THERE’S SOMETHING ROTTEN AT BELLGAB (UPDATED)

    THERE’S SOMETHING ROTTEN AT BELLGAB (UPDATED)

    UPDATE HERE: BELL GAB BACK

     

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

    THIS IS A  DEVELOPING STORY

    A HACKING?
    A SALE?!
    A WAR!?

    The popular message board BELLGAB.COM is current redirecting to COAST TO COAST AM’s official website.   The website Georgenoorysucks.com has also been given a direct  to the same..

    There does seem to be a hint of intrigue, however, just by judging from the link that BELLGAB now directs to:

    noorylink

    DMCA ACQUIRE?
    It would be mighty strange, however, for a DMCA battle to play out this way. It’s certainly not typical that websites immediately redirect to another with the DMCA note .. Typically a battle over legal issues can take days or weeks, plus the owner of a site would be updated by the ISP prior to any takedown.

    The other night when George Noory took to BELLGAB, he used the term war. Perhaps he wasn’t showing his cards and the war indeed has begun on the home turf of Art Bell fans..

    From NPPA.ORG, here are two easy steps for taking down a website for copyright infringement.. From the site:

    The same provision of copyright law that allows for the takedown notice also allows the alleged infringer to file a counter notice. After sending your takedown notice to the ISP, the ISP will notify the alleged infringer of the notice. The infringer then can send a counter notice to the ISP declaring that the infringer “has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled” and other requirements of Section 512 (g). At that point, the ISP is caught in the middle. By law, the ISP must repost the infringing material to its original location.

    Unfortunately, the only option then to stop the infringement is to file a lawsuit asking the court to enter an injunction stopping the use of the copyright material

    Art Bell posted a Facebook message saying that BELLGAB has been hacked. However, the DMCA Acquire link may prove something else..

    There is also rampant speculation on other Twitter feeds and Facebook postings that BELLGAB was ‘sold ten days ago,’ and that the results of that sale are not apparent..

    The HORROR REPORT is attempting to contact the owner of BELLGAB through Twitter along with other users who may have a better direct link to him.

     

     

     

     

  • “We are about ready to go to war”

    “We are about ready to go to war”

    Richard Sryett was hosting Coast to Coast AM while George Noory attended an event in San Francisco last night. Though his interview with Marie Jones on mind control and cults may have been worthy, the real show was taking place in a virtual world. George Noory posted on Bellgab after months of offline time..

    Noory’s return seemingly stemmed from Art Bell’s message on Facebook critical of Noory’s use of the term ‘wanna take a ride,’ a catch line long associated with the Coast Bell incarnation voiced by Ross Mitchell since the 1990s. Noory addressed the charge of theft, saying, “sorry but Ive been using it since my days in St.louis and picked it up on Coast in 2001 when I started filling in for Art. We both got it from the movie Contact. Ross even had liners for us. Nothing sinister here folks.”

    Users pounded quickly. But it was Steve Warner, the BELLGAB user known as BATEMAN, who seemed to get the ‘goatsie’ the most.

    Warner began his own radio program in 2013 called DARK CITY, and was well known for pranking gags of George Noory during live call in shows on Coast to Coast AM. At that time, Warner said he was approached by Noory about appearing on Coast.  During Noory’s latest postings, Bateman continued pressing Noory about why he sent Warner a blank email message on April 23. Noory repeatedly denied sending the message, eventually admitting the possibility of something being sent, and posted “I was going to send you one (personal) a few days ago but never got around to it…..might have sent it blank during a commercial break? Steve I get 1000 emails during the shows and my staff is clicking saving etc for me until I read them.”

    Warner spoke to the HORROR REPORT hours ago about this private message. He said, “I think he actually sent it because he heard me on a podcast poking fun at him and this was his way of saying ‘I’m watching you’ with plausible deniability. Whatever the reason, it’s funny he sent it at 3:30 in the morning when he’s supposed to be doing his show.”

    Speaking more about his recent relationship with Coast, Warner again: “He started off telling me he wanted to do a ‘spooky, yet funny’ segment on Friday nights called ‘Here’s Bateman’, I shit you not. Then he put out feelers after John B. Wells got the boot on weekends.”  That was 2013 during Bell’s SIRIUS XM stint.

    Warner continued, “Frankly, I think the Coast brand is toxic at this point, and I don’t need them or their 600 stations to be successful at this. We live in a vastly different media landscape than we did just a few years ago.”

    x x x

    A vastly different world indeed. One where two late night radio hosts are at war on a message board.
    And speaking of war..
    Noory’s other comment raised the ire of posters. He said,

    I am the KING of late night radio. Long live the new KING!!! I deserve the crown.
    This is a riot your upset over a king’s crown lol..we are about ready to go to war and YOURE concerned about my avatar

    The avatar in reference is a koala bear. Previously when Bell quit his SIRIUS job, Noory used a symbolic crown.  Noory went on to post last night, “Redacted would you like me to have a crown of thorns   that was for a king too?.”

    While it is unclear what ‘war’ may have been referred to—so many exist in the world after all— there is evidence that Premiere Radio and the MIDNIGHT camps are beginning to prepare for a corporate battle of wits and skills.

    With ‘war’ in offing, Art Bell wrote a late to the game response to the night of Noory postings.

    In full,

    I see I am late to the party, spent the evening with my Child Bride, great night.

    Perhaps I have it wrong so if I do please correct me. Did Dave say we were going to War? Did he say something about wearing a Crown of Thorns?

    Did he say he was using Wanna Take a Ride in St Louis? Really? Dave I can get you a hell of a special buy now price on the Arch.

    I hope Dave was drinking heavily, otherwise I can not understand what would make him say those things, just wait till he wakes tomorrow Afternoon and reads what he wrote!

    I told you, you can predict this guy like a clock, as soon as he knows I am coming back it begins and it will keep ramping up as we near July. Dave if you were running for office as a sitting President any advisor worth a crap would tell you to shut the hell up and stop helping the other side.

    As most of you know I had made a deal not to strike first and I want it noted here that I did not, I simply reacted to recordings of Dave mumbling wanna take a ride and the clock struck midnight and Dave arrived right on time trying to rewrite History.

    Time for bed, night all.

    The ‘war’ is on.. battle stations are armed. Words are slinging and flinging in HTML, FTPed, and instant..
    The radio world is facing the internet world. That, perhaps, is the war..

    Keith Rowland has acknowledged to the HORROR REPORT that Art Bell, in his July 2015 return to live internet radio, may not be able to beat the juggernauts of Limbaugh and Hannity, but the BELL camp is hoping to transform the landscape. However, as evidenced by the BELLGAB postings, there will be a number of virtual missiles launched prior to the summer skirmish.

    The HORROR REPORT has reached out to Coast to Coast AM, and George Noory for comment.
    At the time of this posting, there has not been a response..
    The story will be updated if contact is successful.

     

  • The ride begins

    The ride begins

    Art Bell’s MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT begins in July. But the tension is already building before the online live podcast debut.

    Nights ago, Coast to Coast AM host George Noory used the famous coined Bell term ‘wanna take a ride.’ It did not go unnoticed by the users of BELLGAB, who pounded on Noory’s attempt to borrow the term–whether knowingly or unknowingly. Bell himself chimed in with a fiery Facebook post slamming Noory for the use of the statement.

    The comment, in total,

    My goodness, it has come to my attention that George Noory has started to use my signature line, Wanna take a Ride? It is just desperate and pathetic. Every time you hear him say that please remember July 20th when Midnight in the Desert starts. I would steal some of his lines, but that would be Petty Theft.

    Art Bell

    The comment was quickly liked by hundreds of fans.
    The ride is going bust on Coast.
    The real attraction begins again on July 20, 2015.

  • PUFFY CLOUDS BEGIN TO FILL THE AIR AT BELLGAB

    PUFFY CLOUDS BEGIN TO FILL THE AIR AT BELLGAB

    For weeks, speculation has been rampant on BELLGAB.COM.. The social site where Art Bell fans go to surmise the latest ordeals, the latest rumors, and the most recent George Noory memes, has also been home to a gush of emotion with each Art Bell message to the squadron of loyal listeners.. They are the base. Sometimes organized. Sometimes apathetic.. sometimes stuck in a mental rut.. and as Bell would say, vaguely lovable.

    But today, they may have just cracked the code.

    Several days ago, Art Bell made a dramatic announcement on both Bellgab and Facebook that, due to problems being able to play bumper music on his scheduled upcoming July podcast, he may just scrap the whole thing. Intense debate was immediate.. a rush of ideas filled the pages of the site with pleas from some for Bell to just come back, even if music would be absent his podcast. Others mentioned free places, and some wanted to donate their own original songs. But Bell wasn’t playing with any new ideas: He clearly wants the music he had always played on Coast to Coast AM, he said to set the atmosphere as the program continued through the night.

    Emotions suddenly turned positive as Bell began posting more hopeful words. A deal, he said, was being worked out with a ‘major player.’ After much speculation, Bell last night wrote about the inability for Bellgabbers to guess who that ‘big’ player was.

    Until today when a user named ‘Somewhere in Time’ guessed CUMULUS.. Speculation took off from there..

    As for me, I did my own part, contacted a source with Cumulus Media that I have used previously.. A brief friendly phone conversation changed to an even more brief and less kind talk when I asked if Art Bell could potentially be a major player coming to the Cumulus brand.. A deal, I was told, would be announced ‘if a deal was even being worked on’ when both parties decided it should be.. If ‘both parties’ were even talking about it.  The classic no confirmation.. no denial.. military style.

    Bell himself added to the vast array of speculation with a few coy comments and lively jokes, even humoring users who were openly talking about placing money bets on him signing with Cumulus vs not.. Finally tonight, Bell entertained the idea of announcing early but said he didn’t want to say a word until the documents were signed:

    What clues? I can not say a word till the date to announce. It is hard for me not to just blurt it out now because we have been told it’s a go but I want to wait for the signed final deal first but boy it is exciting. I will be depending on the PROVEN ability of this murky and semi civilized group to hit Social Media with a brick for me when we are ready.

    Art

    The clues were dropped.. the hints were made.
    There is not clear confirmation of CUMULUS being the new brand of Bell, but it is certainly raising eyebrows when the comments are taking into consideration.

    But at the same time, Bell is having fun with it all, as well.
    He posted on Facebook tonight:

    For those of you who can read between the lines and do not mind adult language and are not easily offended plus have a good sense of humor you may wish to check out http://www.bellgab.com remember, I warned you, it’s not the underbelly of the Internet..but you can see it from there.

    The underbelly.
    And as a card carrying member of BELLGAB, I think I can see the underbelly from my house.

     

  • CHURCH LETS OUT: Keith Rowland speaks

    CHURCH LETS OUT: Keith Rowland speaks

    Normally this website and many others wait patiently for Art Bell to make comments on Facebook or BELLGAB, but this night
    the HORROR REPORT can relay information that Keith Rowland, Bell’s famed webmaster and curator of THE DARK MATTER RADIO NETWORK, is the one doing the speaking.

    Rowland published a post tonight regarding the controversial exit of Jimmy Church from the radio network. Church made appearances as a guest host on Coast to Coast AM–you may remember that after the original hosting Bell had Rowland actually take down ARTBELL.COM until the situation was settled between them personally..

    Rowland tonight offered up his explanation as to why Church left and how the entire situation went down.. the statement in full:

    It seems the right time to set the record straight regarding Jimmy Church leaving Dark Matter Radio Network.

    First of all, while Fade to Black was the most popular show on the network, Jimmy was not a “sit-in” for Art Bell. In fact Art Bell never heard of Jimmy, never asked him to sit in, nor ever contacted or talked to Jimmy in his entire tenure on DMRN, except for one conference call discussing Jimmy’s appearance on C2C. Art has never listened to Jimmy Church and has no idea what kind of show he does.

    It appears to us, that ever since Jimmy’s one-time “DMRN Promoting” appearance on C2C and was asked to decide between continuing on DMRN or going over to C2C, he was planning to leave DMRN, and never discussed this with me. Jimmy just called up one Sunday night and told me he wanted to move to Spreaker, eventually iHeart and Coast 2 Coast. He felt that was a way for him to further his career. I agreed it would be good for him, but wished he gave me a chance to fill the large void he would leave in the schedule.

    We talked about a 2-4 week transition period. Which if the move was kept secret, would work, but since Jimmy wanted to use our station to promote his move, and would be announcing his upcoming change to iHeart / Clear Channel and eventual appearance on Coast to Coast, there was no way I could ethically continue his show on DMRN. I left it up to him to decide. He could wait until he had more prepared for his move and continue on DMRN, while I too prepare for replacement shows. Jimmy decided to announce his move on his website that night. So he decided to leave us in a predicament, we did not boot him off.

    If you hear any other statements that you may question the validity of (and there are), regarding this matter, please don’t hesitate to contact us, so we can set the record straight.

    Keith Rowland
    darkmatter@rowlandnet.com

    The JIMMY CHURCH thread on BELLGAB has been busy lately..

    The Church appearance as a host on Coast originally divided fans of Art Bell as much as Bell and Rowland seemed be distant during the situation. While it may have been worked out, the ongoing Church ‘bells’ ringing. Art Bell himself made vague references to Church’s COAST hosting, but never elaborated in full on how he and Rowland worked out the divide.

    Now with the statement from Rowland, there appears to be a ‘setting the record straight’ attempt before the upcoming months that he and Bell will be preparing for a potential new ride podcasting. Bell said on Bellgab that there will be a confirmation of something coming within days as to whether he will be able play music during his podcast if he returns in July. With fans awaiting that news, Rowland’s words tonight seem to be coming at the opportune time to close the Church door once and for all.

  • The hot air is blowing strong

    The hot air is blowing strong

    ORIGINAL POST PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 1 2015 AT 10:29PM. UPDATED FEBRUARY 2 2015 AT 7:45 AM

    It may not be a war of words, but a cold wind of tension has taken over the popular message board BELLGAB this week.. While the Superbowl and New England Patriots victory played out on television, Art Bell and George Noory were busy playing their own radio version of a war of words.. Bell, who has messaged considerably more often on BELLGAB and Facebook than any time since his Sirius radio program aired, issued a direct message to Tom Danheiser, Lysa Lyon, and George Noory. The message seemed to cut deep enough that Noory himself returned to BellGAB to respond.

    Art Bell’s message in total:

     To, Lisa, Tommy & George

     I am posting this here because I know you read here by the hour.

     You may have noticed that when I made my announcement on FB I did not in ANY
    way mention George or even Premiere. That is because I was hoping that I could
    put all my efforts into preparing for the show I am going to do. It is not in your
    interest to make this a War because as the 500 pound Gorilla in the room any conflict
    does not work in your favor at all. I was and still am hoping we can simply both do
    what we do and see how it all shakes out.

     However, taking Jimmy away from Keith was kind of low brow, having George get on
    the air and pretend to “help” me by talking about my return and then playing my now
    very old show where I was told to say “George gets it”…..well, it just does not seem like a
    good start.

     Let’s start fresh! I will not go after you guy’s and you don’t go after me. Lets both do what
    we do and see how it comes out in the end! I am more then happy to have a smaller, higher
    quality show if that’s how it plays out.

     I will not hit, but I will hit back.

                                                                                    Art Bell

    Noory, hours later, issued a response using BELLGAB:

    Some of you have asked that I reply to Art’s most recent posting and I shall.
    First of all and this is directed to Art. We ALL wish you well in your return and you can count on us not launching a first strike lol. I think its great that you are doing what you do best. My announcement of your return was just that—-you created C2C and I felt I owed it to you to make that announcement. I wouldnt do it for anyone else. If you DONT want me to engage in promoting your return, please say the word so all  can see that it not me doing it!!!
     
    As for Jimmy Church….we didnt steal him from Keith I just found out a few days ago that he wants to do his own thing (he called me) He has only filled in on two shows. Hardly stealing him away.
     
    Id like to address your feelings that we were poaching on ‘your’ guests during your Sirius show. Never…they were all told that they could do any show they wanted and that included Richard C Hoagland and the psychic twins. What they were told was that IF they were on your show on a Monday…we wouldnt have them on immediately thereafter. Some of the guests you selected had already been boooked on coast and once they appeared on your Sirius Show…we moved them. I do believe the twins didnot unedrstand Tommy’s discussion with them . As for us popping up on Sirius/XM after you left. As you know we were on XM before your were hired on for years..The channel was discontinued cancelling many shows and we immediately started negotiations to get back on a different channel and would have ended up on the INDY Channel (the one you were on) after your show aired. Once you left, they quickly wrapped up negotiations.
     
    the somewhere in time shows are selected by one of our producers who simply picks shows based on what we have in the vault. Frankly, he should have run the ‘George gets it” show….years ago…lol…..
     
    and lastly you asked (I am told) on your facebook page to have Bellgabbers to call into my show. Rest assured we dont play that game…..We sincerely wish you well. and trust your family is well.
     
    You have my personal email so if at anytime you wish to privately email me…please do so.
     
    George Noory
     
    PS We dont peruse BELLGAB hourly  …maybe every two hours lol
    Be well

    This is not the first time that Bell and Noory have spoken to each other without directly speaking to each other. BELLGAB was the venue previously, when Bell hosted DARK MATTER on Sirius radio. Noory slowly left the message board and started hinting on his program that people who ‘live in their parents’ basement’ and utilize ‘chatrooms’ such as Bellgab are haters and without much merit or credibility. It was only on Friday night that Noory, speaking in a strangely deep voice, almost sounded to be trembling while discussing people online who ‘hide’ behind fake names and say cruel things.  BELLGAB users latched onto those comments and sensed Noory was speaking of the message board.

    This latest twist in the saga of BELL vs NOORY will no doubt get as much fan attention as previous fights.  Some of them comments back to Noory take no prisoners:

    Go to bed you drunk. 

    You should contact Art directly when you sober up.

    Another:

    Go jump in a portal.

    Art Bell took George Noory to task in a return message, again postd to BELLGAB.

    Bell wrote,

     I guess I will have to work from the bottom up, I defy you to show me where at any point
    on my Facebook page or ANY other place I have ever asked ANYBODY to call your show.

     Second, for a guy who “does not believe in coincidence” you seem to have a endless number
    of them when it comes to me, from Oates forward, simply too many to recite here.

     Third, with regard to Poaching, it has nothing to do with my “feelings” and more to do with actual History.

     Fourth, As for your “popping up on 104” I don’t care, it was a shrewd business move and I would have
    done the same thing had the situation been reversed, I made my bed with that situation and I have to
    live with it.  My choice today would be the same for the same reasons.

     Fifth, I hope that your promise not to launch a first strike begins now after the 2nd strike has already
    landed. I also hope it includes the others YOU will say launched it when it inevitability comes.

     Sixth, WORD! Meaning no thank you, please do not promote in any way my return in July. I along
    with a few close friends will carry that water. If whoever keeps making you mention my name at the end
    of each show will allow you to stop, please do.

     Seventh, Jimmy Church was Keith Rowland’s guy and I guess it is just another darn “coincidence” that IHeart
    Radio owned by Clear Channel snapped him up a Week before he did his second show on Coast.

     All that said, let us both do the best Radio we know how to do and barring any “coincidental” launches this
    should end our discourse.

                                                                                                     Art Bell

    We Tweeted earlier today that BELLGAB was going to be center stage in the return of Art Bell. It appears even more likely after tonight’s Superbowl fireworks..

    One big game ended.
