I think the answer is complicated. In one regard, quite frankly George Noory shows little to no intellectual curiosity and rarely appears as though he truly wants to learn anything new.. If Noory had competition in the night hours, say if Art Bell actually came back again, I predict lots of affiliates with dump Noory in place of Bell. So in that regard Premiere is happy because, without anyone to fight him, Coast is the top show at night. Noory seems to also use those same cue cards all of the time… and deliver very frustrating programs to those with common sense…
Until some bigger stations dump Coast to Coast or until competition rears its head, Premiere has nothing to lose with allowing Noory to keep being dumb in the middle of the night.
