Kieth Rowland Talks the Future of @ArtBell51

So news/talk radio does seem to be like a really odd thing.....here in San Diego, no one seemed to mind when we had an ultra-right wing name calling nut on the morning drive forever, particularly the station itself.  

Now Merrill, my favorite person in the evening is gone and now Geraldo is gone from WABC.  

It does seem like a cut throat world--can't blame Art for wanting control of his own show and radio world but it did feel like it was a bit much to handle from the get go. Who can run the whole end of taking all of the calls every night alone with no break as he often said there was no screener.  

That is where Art and Geraldo and Larry King are the best. They can handle anything and they can make anything sound interesting without getting angry and insulting the caller. They are not afraid of the caller--in the long run it makes a good show. They are truly gifted and very intelligent.

Well, we can see why Art wants the control but who can handle everything every night. It is just too much pressure.

Is there anyway Art can come back on an "as needed" basis--what about the way Leo LaPorte works with his own studio--he also was tired of the television network bossing him around.

Perhaps, Art needs a studio he controls with more people but not right at his house and not every night.

Just a thought--it is interesting to hear how the radio world actually works, enjoy your comments.

Short Update from Keith Rowland re: Art Bell


I am saddened of course by the quick departure of Art Bell and many people think this is just a stunt to get out of doing the show. But let me tell you these latest events are real and Nye County police reports have been filed and are public. I’ve been with Art for each of his retirements, and while I may not agree with some of his reasons, they were real and after time he has managed to overcome them and return to radio. This too may pass.
Many people have been thinking this is just a way to get out of the show because it wasn’t doing any good. But, in fact we had contracts in place to bring on 2 more very large stations to the network, of which we were very encouraged about. We were growing every day. Subscriptions were still increasing and stations were still signing up.
However, I doubt he will ever be able to come back to traditional radio again, it was still a hard sell as it was, and stations’ concerns of his longevity certainly played out. If he does come back in any capacity, it would be on DMDN.
The Dark Matter Digital Network will still run the same programs it has been, if they want to stay, and still for FREE. The only change are some programs will not be LIVE, just pre-recorded. We will continue to produce Midnight in the Desert with Heather Wade and have Art back when he can. To support this effort, please stay subscribed as a Time Traveler.

Sad Sad News About Art Bell

Long running? 5 months really isn't that long. And Bell has a long history of quitting and retiring for bizarre reasons. He's good, but also a drama queen.


I am terribly sad about this whole thing......drama queen.....we have heard that said before.  

What a loss--a bad day for all of his fans to find out this information.  

Honestly, I would say Art is just about one of the most gifted talk show folks out there--he has the unique ability to make every guest sound interesting--really interesting.  

I finally figured out it was not the guest it was, in fact, Art Bell and his radio talk show host talent.  he can handle all of the callers without getting angry.  

A little surprised because he has said on his website that he would be on 760 here in San Diego in December--good news as I have the radio on all of the time in my room.  It is much easier just to tune in on the radio that get the comp or the i-pad--for me, anyway.  

Kept looking for him on 760 on the radio and it was never on the website of 760 and it seemed to disappear from Art's website, too.

Frankly, I had a funny feeling this was going to happen--no I am not psychic, but it is just way too difficult and time consuming to be a one man show.  I felt like writing him and suggesting a helper--why not a show with him and John B. Wells.  

Now I am just stuck with that dumb Coast to Coast and I have terrible political issue with George Noory--George is talented also but at the end of the day he just does not have the talent of Art Bell--and he does not pay attention.

Sorry to see Art go--I am really sad and I know all of his fans are really disappointed, too.



Citing Threats, Art Bell Ends Radio Program

Radio host Art Bell suddenly ended his long-running program this weekend, citing alleged threats made against him and his family.
The Pahrump Valley Times reports the 70 year old radio personality called it quits after months of what he has described as "never-ending terrorism."
Bell says shots have been fired outside his residency, and that he has spotted trespassers near his home late at night.
He also says he received a phone call in November saying that if his radio program aired that night, both Bell and his family would be killed.
In December, Bell says he was walking on his property and someone fired shots at him, but police found neither any suspects nor any evidence a gun was fired.
The Nye County Sheriff's Department opened an investigation into the case, but has closed it due to a lack of evidence.

Art Bell: Fantastic Interviews--Does Not Push Politics........




Readers, Art Bell has been a great interviewer for a very long time, now.......

Just recently, he had a highly unusual show for talk radio....a show about global warming and the idea it actually exists was entertained.

Art said as the conversation was taking place....."Folks, you usually don't her this on talk radio, this may be a first."

Art Bell has the decency not to push politics on the night time radio listener........Art does not inject his personal political opinion into the discussion.

Art Bell has respect for the radio listener--his political idea and goal may be different from his audience.

Just wanted to say thank you to Art Bell and his new radio show Midnight In The Desert for giving us the opportunity to hear interesting discussion in the evening--during the relaxing time for most of us.

Seriously, for those of us out there with sleeping issues, this evening agenda is a gift--just plain good listening.

Thanks, Art, for caring about your fans and your listeners.



Good News for San Diego.........

Art Bell will be back on the air waves locally coming in December to Radio 760 AM news/talk.

Well done, KFMB, I bet this will boost your ratings.

Art's new show started in July and he has had some very informative guests......very interesting, unique and perfect for the evening listening.

As usual, Art Bell is the master of the radio interview......he can handle any guest or caller without going Bolling or O'Reilly........this is peaceful for the radio listener.

Good news for San Diego and thanks, Art, for going back on the air with your radio show.

Well done, Art, and 760 KFMB for picking up this very pleasant nightime radio show.....it's good listening for San Diego and I know a lot of fans are really happy to hear this very exciting information.
