I’ve listened, often with a grain of salt, to Coast to Coast AM since I was a teenage kid growing up during the late 80s and roaring 90s..UFOs, cyberland, crazy guests, Y2K.. but those days are suddenly changing.
Art Bell, the often-retiring host, seems to have retired once more, and maybe this time for good.
George Snoory I mean Noory has hosted for a few years, but never quite replaced Art Bell..
This past weekend, guest host George Knapp, responding to a caller’s question, said Art Bell has retired, that it was his choice, and that the door of Coast to Coast AM is open for him to come back.
In my mind, and maybe my mind is wrong, this effectively kills the show as Art Bell created it.. It will be interesting to see how many Coast ‘insiders’ kill their renewals now that Knapp’s news on Sunday told of Art’s supposed retirement.. Somewhere in Manilla, a ham radio operator now exists named Art Bell, retired from the once great American Southwest..
Love him or hate him, he created a format that many still try to copy.
