This is a pretty big deal for those who like the radio that talks about strange bumps in the night–but maybe also not surprising just as well.
“Red Eye Radio” is replacing Coast to Coast AM with George Noory is multiple markets.
There is a lot to this new change in a lineup. However, regardless of ‘why’ the show is being dropped, the fact it is being dropped it a major development in radio.
Art Bell officially ended his relationship with Coast to Coast AM in 2010. And since then listeners in massive numbers yearned for his return. He has not yet, and instead George Noory has boasted that he may get a contract renewal until 2018 (long after that whole Mayan Apocalypse) ..
With the new news of Coast being dropped of of pretty big markets, being replaced with a late night conservative political show, what will become of the little UFO program that could created by Art Bell? …maybe the return of Art Bell?
Don’t forget: Art Bell retired before (ok lots of times) .. but one time he retired someone by the name of Mark Siegel took over. Affiliates dropped. Ratings dipped.
Could we be re-writing the same chapter all over again?
