Dave Hodges Talks John B. Wells and How the Radio Actually Works
John B. Wells Fired for Being Too Popular and Truthful: An Exclusive Interview

February 6, 2014
John B. Wells has one of the most recognized voices in America, but unfortunately a million Americans will no longer get to hear his melodious voice on Saturday nights on what was his popular Coast to Coast radio broadcast.
The following is an exclusive print interview I conducted with John B. Wells on the evening of February 5, 2014. Why was this ever-so-popular host let go by some unidentified powers that be in the corporate structure at Coast to Coast?
On the surface, the firing of John B. Wells made no sense. However, as we peel back the public veneer that is Coast to Coast, the firing of John B. Wells was inevitable.
The Glory Days of Coast to Coast Are Gone
In days gone by, Coast to Coast was once the flag ship of the alternative media, which captured 500 stations in late night radio when the show was hosted by Art Bell. Bell blazed a trail that nobody had ever traveled before, as he brought subjects to the mainstream airwaves that was unprecedented in both its subject areas and its depth of coverage.
Bell’s meteoric rise to unprecedented popularity in late night radio continued unabated until Premier purchased control of the show for $8 million dollars. That is when the trouble began for Bell in terms of retaining editorial control of his show. When Art Bell relinquished control of his program to corporate interests, Premier and ultimately Clear Channel, Coast to Coast was never the same as the show took a turn and became reflective of “the corporate message”.
The Corporate Structure of Coast to Coast
One cannot fully appreciate the termination of host John B. Wells as the “Saturday night guy” on Coast without having some understanding of the corporate structure which came to dominate the show when Art Bell relinquished control of the show.
Premiere distributes Coast to Coast for its parent company Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel has a long and well-known history of censorship and extreme retaliation for those who do not abide by the corporate line.
Clear Channel was once a major supporter of the George W. Bush candidacy for President and they tolerated no dissension within the ranks. They were responsible for the dramatic fall of the Dixie Chicks for espousing their anti-war views with regard to the war in Iraq. And in a case of extreme censorship, with regard to a case that I have some firsthand and personal knowledge of, a popular Phoenix talk show host, Charles Goyette was blackballed by Clear Channel for similar anti-war views. Charles was actually dismissed from KFYI radio when he was the number one radio personality in Arizona and the entire Southwest. When it comes to these corporate entities, having great ratings does not insulate one from being fired. Popular talk show hosts are expected to be the guardian of the corporate gate and as you will soon read, Wells is an oracle who quotes Voltaire and tells the truth, but he was a poor night watchman of the corporate controlled gate. Wells discovered that deviating from the company line (i.e. telling the truth) shortens the professional life expectancy of its top entertainers.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
After a period of prolonged instability following the departure of Art Bell as the primary host of Coast to Coast, George Noory entered the scene in 2003 where he has since remained. However, Noory’s listening numbers are nothing to write home about. Once upon a time, some estimated that Art Bell had somewhere around 6-12 million listeners on any given night. In contrast, Noory’s numbers are a paltry 275,000 to 300,000 listeners per night. However, George Noory is the perfect front man and his numbers take on a secondary level of importance because he is very good at protecting the corporate turf and is very careful to only take risks on subjects which the corporate sponsors do not care about (e.g. crystal skulls, near death experiences, psychic mediums, etc.). Gone are the former days of Art Bell’s hard hitting journalism which made the spooks inside of the alphabet soup agencies very uncomfortable.
Coast to Coast became a “vanilla broadcast” with occasional forays into controversy with guests such Jim Marrs. However, much of Coast to Coast today is what I call disguised controversy which presents the illusion of objective journalism.
John B. Wells temporarily bridged the gap of Art Bell’s former independent style that made him so popular to the present day version of Coast to Coast. John B. Wells was clearly the shining jewel of the Coast to Coast empire.
A Disturbance In the Force
John B. Wells is a self-confessed independent maverick with a streak of independence which makes him so very likely to convey the truth on his broadcasts. Wells had actually been hosting shows on Coast to Coast since 2005 as a fill-in until he was hired as the permanent host for Saturday nights in 2011.
John B. Wells’ numbers were anywhere between 750,000 to 1.2 million listeners for any given Saturday night. This ratings disparity could not have resonated well with George Noory who is not known for being humble.
There were some who were in favor of making Wells the permanent host of the show during the week. This idea was met with draconian repression in an effort to preserve the status quo. George Noory is a great protector of the corporate interest and that is first and foremost in importance to management. This speaks to the clear message of what Coast to Coast has become. Noory’s show is the quintessential guardian of the corporate gate instead of being what it purports to be, a news dissemination source.
In his role as the Saturday night host on Coast to Coast, John B. Wells became a man trapped between his desire to expose the truth and the requirement that he walk the company line. John lamented, both publicly and privately that Coast to Coast was not his show, he was just an employee. Wells expressed the desire to do something more meaningful because there just was not enough substance on Coast to Coast. This is a statement that I wholeheartedly agree with as I found the show, under Noory’s tenure, to have slipped to the level of a typical corporate controlled media outlet.
The Beginning of the End
I first heard that John was going to begin his own independent show back in the late fall/early winter of 2013. The new show was going to be called Caravan to Midnight. I was told that he was going to try to simultaneously do both shows. I was also told that his new show would be a “no holds barred” show. It was at that time that I told my News Director, Annie De Riso, that Coast to Coast would never permit both shows to exist simultaneously. Can you imagine what the listening public would say if Wells were to interview former CIA operative Jim Garrow on his new Caravan to Midnight show and that interview was much more revealing than anything ever heard on Coast to Coast from the same guest? It would have been obvious for even the most blind to see, that Coast to Coast practices censorship. Therefore, Wells could not be allowed to broadcast on both venues.
My predictive words were to be proven true. On January 25, 2014, Wells formally announced the launch of his new show, Caravan to Midnight, which would debut on February 3, 2014. Subsequently, John was unceremoniously fired by Julie Talbot on January 28, 2014. By that evening, I noticed that every reference to John B. Wells was scrubbed from the Coast to Coast website. Please allow me to speak clearly to one key point, the firing of John B. Wells was prima fascia evidence that the corporate structure (i.e. Clear Channel) of Coast to Coast still practices the same extreme censorship as we saw with the Dixie Chicks and Charles Goyette in a case of the same song, different verse.
Censorship was already being practiced on Wells’ show as all too often, his show would experience technical failures and be taken down in large local markets by such things as Amber alerts or just plain old dead air. In contrast, Noory’s show rarely experiences the same issues. Wells said that the technical failures happened most often when he was interviewing a controversial guest in this first hour. Coincidentally, this past Sunday, my network reran the October 6, 2013 interview I did with John and the interview went silent. The commercials still played, but the dialogue between myself and John went black.
The decision to let Wells go must have been an agonizing one as Wells’s ratings were so good. However, there can be no question that Noory was instrumental in the decision to fire Wells. There can also be no doubt that George Noory’s ego was certainly a factor in dismissal of Wells. Noory’s penchant for complete control and intolerance towards dissenting opinion is well-known to many and it was only a matter of time until either Noory or Wells had to go and the corporate golden-haired boy won out over the truth teller. Interestingly, Wells never looked at his situation as a competition, as he said, “I simply focused on doing my job”. Adding fuel to the fire, I had long heard reports which stated that Noory attempted to garner key guests before Wells could interview them in an obvious attempt to close the ratings gap between he and Wells.
A Most Insincere Farewell
After I heard the news that John B. Wells was fired from Coast to Coast, I tuned into the show to hear what Noory would say about the event. The announcement by Noory that Wells was no longer a part of the show and the network was “going in a different direction”, absolutely lacked sincerity. Based on my observation of Noory’s demeanor on the night following the Well’s dismissal, it was my personal observation that Noory was pleased to have the major threat to his status as the King of late night radio banished from the scene. In addition, the corporate controlled message was preserved and everybody won when Wells was fired, except for the listening audience. Personally, I am saddened by John’s departure, however, I am relieved because I can now catch up on my sleep because there is not much worth listening to on Coast to Coast in my humble opinion.
A Victory For the Truth Movement
Never before has the alternative media seen such a seismic shift. The departure of John B. Wells from Coast to Coast represents a major shift in the demographics which will soon be flooding the truth movement. It is often said that a rising tide lifts all boats and this is the effect that Wells’ departure from Coast will have on our industry. Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people will defect to John’s new endeavor, Caravan to Midnight (airing Monday through Thursday from 10am-1pm CST). What command central at Coast failed to anticipate is that people largely tuned in on Saturday night to listen to John. Most do not listen to the show because of the name Coast to Coast. The people follow a specific person.
As John’s listening audience follows him to his new endeavor, many will soon discover other quality alternative programming, heretofore unknown to them. Move over people, we are about to get some more company over the next several months. History will show that the corporate structure of Coast would have been wise to follow a policy of making Wells the “controlled opposition” by presenting the illusion of media choice.
A New Beginning
John told me that many of his passions include stopping immigration so that more Americans can find work, to getting elected officials to follow the Constitution.
John’s new show, Caravan to Midnight, is totally listener supported. Subscriptions can be purchased at the website for $60 for 12 months.
The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated. John B. Wells will largely be responsible for the “true” waking up of millions of Americans. On that note, I am glad to welcome John to the alternative media, as both a friend and a colleague. I also pray for John’s well-being because the power shift that is about to occur will certainly draw the unhappy attention of the self-proclaimed power elite in this country.

Thanks Dave for telling how the radio works and your take on the John B. Well radio show.
Art Bell Talks John B. Wells
Art Bell Tolls for John B. Wells!
POSTED ON FEBRUARY 7, 2014 IN MEDIA COVERAGE | 1 VIEW | LEAVE A RESPONSE
Art Bell has taken to Facebook and BELLGAB to express what some may consider support for John B. Wells ..
He wrote this on BELLGAB:
As I have posted on Facebook and as I promised on this Forum, as soon as I am released from the Sirius/XM NC I will begin streaming my own show. The article so well written about JBW only confirms what I have felt for YEARS. I might have better luck asking Julie for a release of my NC…….I say this because while I was trying to talk to Sirius/XM two days after I left, I simply could not understand why they were not responding to my offer to return if they would only allow streaming until Sirius fixed their problems, when I finally did get a response it was to inform me that Coast would be taking my spot on channel 104. It is my feeling that “they” want me kept off the air, ho hum, I will fool them by staying healthy and kicking their ass as soon as I can get free.
The article Bell is referring to is the same article that the HORROR REPORT wrote about earlier tonight.
Wells has publicly said that he never met Art Bell, but expressed the sentiment that many long time Coast listeners have had about his program: Their appreciation of a show done right..
Thanks to the Horror Report.

Bill O'Reilly: A Scary Joke featuring Ellen from Newshounds
Ellen, you are right on that point.
I have praised Geraldo for standing up to O'Reilly and even O'Reilly for accepting the criticism but his interview was extremely disgusting to me.
It was as if he was really trying to hurt President Obama--he did not mention any of his accomplishmnets--it is a good thing that people now have health care thanks to him.
o'reilly has let his popularity go to his head--he is not fair and balanced--and as far as women--what woman would want to stay married to someone who doesn't let them talk, refers to them by their last name and gets in their face.
This man is scary--in same ways he is a joke but he is a scary joke.

Geraldo Rivera Calls O’Reilly ‘President Of Most Of The White Guys In America
Geraldo Rivera accused Bill O’Reilly of not being respectful enough to President Obama during his Super Bowl interview. The two hosts had an impassioned argument over the matter last night. But at the same time, Rivera suggested that O’Reilly was Obama’s equal on the national stage.
For the record, I agree with O’Reilly here. I do not think O’Reilly’s demeanor was in any way disrespectful to President Obama. It did not appear to me that the president was offended, either. I do think, as Jon Stewart magnificently pointed out, that the questions were little more than a chance to play GOP gotcha. And that, in my view, was disrespectful.
But here’s the part that jumped out at me from O'Reilly's discussion with Rivera last night. Rivera said, starting at about 1:49 in the video below:
So for Rivera to suggest that O’Reilly speaks for white America doesn’t just overlook the many white guys and gals who voted for Obama. I believe it’s a disrespectful way of looking at Obama’s role in the interview.

But here’s the part that jumped out at me from O'Reilly's discussion with Rivera last night. Rivera said, starting at about 1:49 in the video below:
This was not a classic interview. What you had here with you and President Obama was a culture clash. It is almost as if you were two equals with opposite worldviews, coming together for a confrontation. It was the president of most of the white guys in America – that’s you – and Barack Obama, the president of almost everybody else.If by “most of the white guys in America,” Rivera means 59% of the voters, that would be technically correct. But it would be more correct to say that O’Reilly represented old, white guys in America. As The Nation wrote, “White men of course were more likely to support Romney than white women, and old white men the most likely of all.” In his recent New Yorker profile of Obama, David Remnick wrote, “The popular opposition to the Administration comes largely from older whites who feel threatened, underemployed, overlooked, and disdained in a globalized economy and in an increasingly diverse country.”
So for Rivera to suggest that O’Reilly speaks for white America doesn’t just overlook the many white guys and gals who voted for Obama. I believe it’s a disrespectful way of looking at Obama’s role in the interview.

Geraldo Rivera Schools Simple Simon Bill O'Reilly on the Presidential Interview
Geraldo Rivera Schools Simple Simon Bill O'Reilly on the Presidential Interview
Geraldo Rivera is one of the few people who can stand up to O'Reilly.
Geraldo and Bill had already gone about it on Geraldo's radio show earlier in the day when Geraldo told Bill he referred to our very wonderful President as merely a Chicago community organizer instead of President of the United States.
Credit to Bill for accepting criticism but there was a certain air about Bill's stance and demeanor during his interview with President Obama that was almost sickening. Bill trys to say he is fair but one does not have to listen to him long to see his true thoughts.
He such a simple Simon--as if he is going to solve all the issues of race and poverty by suggesting to President Obama things would be just perfect if everyone had an education and all of the parents stayed together.
Hello Bill, are you with your wife? No--because women today do have an education and do not have to stay married to someone with his arrogance that wants to get in your face to talk.
Bill has the arrogance of a teenager and needs to have a larger view of the world.
Only a teenager would have that kind of thinking and grandeur.
I'm glad Geraldo spoke--he has the talent to disagree without reaching anger mode.
Good job, Geraldo, and thanks for calling Bill out.

Things Get Tense When Geraldo Rivera Accuses Bill O’Reilly of Stripping Obama of His ‘Majesty’ in Super Bowl Interview
13.2K
SHARES
During a tense exchange on Friday’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” Geraldo Rivera accused Bill O’Reilly of stripping President Barack Obama of his “majesty” during his highly-watched Super Bowl interview.
Rivera said the president wasn’t given the respect he deserves and as a result the interview came off as the “President of Most of the White Guys of America,” O’Reilly, versus the president of “almost everyone else.” He also criticized the TV host for referring to Obama as a “community organizer.”
“It’s not my job to be a social scientist or please you, Geraldo Rivera, who’s looking more like a cartel member every day,” O’Reilly joked. “My job is to get information. That’s my job. I got it. And I asked him the tough questions that nobody else — no one — has asked him.”
“What you did was strip him of his majesty, so to speak,” Rivera replied.
“I don’t think he has majesty! He’s not a king!” O’Reilly said, adding that he respects the office of the presidency but presidents still need to be held accountable.

Geraldo Rivera: The Anti-O'Reilly of Fox News
Geraldo Rivera Calls O'Reilly Out
and rightly so.........
Grace being the operative word and Bill's lack there of.
Tonight on Bill O'Reilly's show, The Factor, on Fox News, Geraldo Rivera took Bill O'Reilly to task.
First, for trying to deny he called our President a community organizer from Chicago--right, instead of President of the United States, not to mention the very first African-American President of the United States and even more importantly his ultra aggressive premise in the interview.
Talking about his recent interview with our President Barack Obama prior to the Superbowl.
Geraldo told Bill "he is the President of the United States filling the shoes equal to Abraham Lincoln and you did not show him respect." You have to show respect to the office and the person in it. Geraldo went on to say, "He is not the mayor of Hartford."
He explained, "I grew up in the civil rights era and this man has made great strides--you've got to acknowledge it."
Geraldo accurately stated, his demeanor, the way he leaned forward, the way he called him a community organizer from Chicago was incorrect and offensive.
It was disgusting--Bill is almost always disrespectful--he has a history of calling his guests by their last names.
Bill did not even bother to mention the accomplishments of our President. Now, everyone has the access to health care, like all of the other sophisticated countries of the world--that was a giant accomplishment, Bill, and many are very appreciative, including myself.
Our President stood up for women to Rush Limbaugh. President Obama stood up for violence against children and people of color when he talked abut Trayvon Martin.
There was something very ugly about O'Reilly interviewing President Obama. It was his whole stance and demeanor....the way he was leaning forward in his chair and also the questions he asked.
He is such a simple Simon...I could not believe he actually asked President Obama if the whole issue of race could just not be solved by education and parents staying in the home.
Bill is divorced and President Obama is not. Why?
Bill is such a boob. What woman would want to be married to an arrogant donkey doo-dad like that guy. Women today do not have to put up with it because the women do have an education. He was disrespectful to our President in a way that was almost sickening.
The man is too arrogant--someday a mistake in that direction may cause him his job. President Obama deserves an award for taking the higher ground and putting up with people like that.
O'Reilly is so blind and full of himself he cannot even see the good things Barack Obama has accomplished.
Bill has to grow up and see a larger world.
I am embarrassed and angry by his interview attitude.
If one listens to Bill carefully it does not take long to see what he is about--he is not really that careful about cloaking his actual thoughts even though he thinks he is fooling everyone.
President Obama is a very big man and Bill is small and unattractive.
President Obama is a man with grace, O'Reilly is not.
Good job, Geraldo, good job tonight and thank you for that.
Geraldo Rivera is one of the few people who can stand up to O'Reilly without him going ballistic. Geraldo has the unique ability to let people talk, even when he is in complete disagreement without going into anger mode. His radio show is good--this is why. All of the big talkers say their opinion and Geraldo keeps his cool. This is a talent in conservative radio today. Not to mention the New York callers think they are best friends with Mister G.

We are trying to get a few more students in the following classes, as they
are at risk of being canceled.
Yes, they were new courses, added at the last minute, but we would really
like to see them go. If you took an Add Code, you need to process it by
tonight, and if you are interested to join the class, please email the
instructors today and process an Add. Decisions will be made tomorrow
morning about whether the classes will run or not. Talk to you friends,
encourage other students to take these courses.
Thanks!!
