NEW YORK (AP) -- Art Bell, radio's master of the paranormal and outward edges of science, will return to the microphone on Sept. 16 with a new nighttime show on Sirius XM Radio. Bell was one of radio's top syndicated voices in the 1990s before walking away from his nightly show in 2002 due to family issues. He worked occasionally after that but hasn't been on the air since Halloween 2010. "I missed it terribly," said Bell, 68, whose weeknight show will air live from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET. Sirius is building a studio at Bell's rural Nevada home where he will work. A Sirius representative contacted Bell through social media a few months ago, leading to the formation of his show, "Art Bell's Dark Matter." He'll talk about things like UFOs, ghosts, near-death experiences and weird aspects of science. He'll do interviews and take calls from viewers. Scott Greenstein, Sirius XM president and chief content officer, said the show will be "uncensored, unrestricted, uncluttered and utterly unique." "There's probably more interest in the genre now than when I did it," Bell said. "When I did it, I was *bleep* near alone." Bell was on some 500 radio stations nationwide and "quit when he was at the top of his game," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers, a magazine that covers the radio industry. Harrison said Bell's subject matter has roots in old-time radio, and he predicted it will become popular once again in the coming years. "He'll be looked at as one of the veteran, old masters," Harrison said. "He's the real deal when it comes to marching to the beat of a different drummer." There's also a potential rivalry with George Noory, who replaced Bell on the syndicated show. Bell isn't a fan, saying he considers Noory "not edgy enough." Noory's program is on later at night, so the two will not compete directly live. No contract terms were divulged. Bell said he's intrigued to learn the differences between satellite and terrestrial radio. "It seems to me they are the next step in technology," he said. "I've always been a technological junkie. The mix of what they're giving me, the freedom that they're giving me, is priceless." www.mercurynews.com/entertainment/ci_23757348/art-bell-returning-radio-sirius-show-about-paranormal

www.supernaturalufo.com/paranormal-radio-shows-in-2013/Paranormal Radio Shows in 2013September 9, 2013 by Mark Russell Bell The last time I was a guest on a ‘paranormal’-themed radio show was seven years ago — “Speaking of Strange” broadcast from North Carolina and hosted by Joshua P. Warren. I described in a very condensed way my experiences and research that resulted with my being able to distinguish revealing patterns among documented case studies of so-called ‘unexplained phenomena.’ As consistent blog readers know, my perspective is often different from many commercial authors who write about these topics. It is usually obvious when superstitious and frightful depictions of paranormal phenomena are motivated by a profit incentive, while closed-minded skepticism may be a result of brainwashing and/or denial. This summer there was a Sirius XM Radio announcement “Legendary Radio Personality Art Bell to Launch Exclusively on SiriusXM“ investor.siriusxm.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=781252 The program will begin broadcasting September 16 and air weeknights from 7 to 10 pm Pacific Time so his former radio show, “Coast to Coast AM,” will not be in direct competition with the start time of 10 pm Pacific Time. A subheading divulged what listeners may expect: “Bell to open the phone lines and listeners’ minds to debunk and declassify conventional wisdom in an uncensored, unscripted forum.” The news release reported: Bell will host the show from his home studio in Pahrump, Nevada—near the storied Area 51—opening the phones lines and inviting listeners and expert guests to join his uncensored, unscripted nightly conversation about a wide variety of topics including: the paranormal, near-death experiences, quantum physics, extraterrestrial life and the unusual.

I'm sorry but ever since Art Bell promoted on his show the idiot who claimed there was a UFO in the tail of a comet (including showing faked pictures) that killed all of the heavens gate kids...Art needs to stay retired..because he does not research what he's promoting..just taking some fast talker at his word..then after promising to hold back before going public..he did publish the doctored photo. Naturally after the suicides he ducked and ran but you'll find articles about it all over the web including this one: www.csicop.org/si/show/art_bell_heavenrsquos_gate_and_journalistic_integrity/ Is it cool to be dangerous just so people get some paranormal thrill late at night? Could you believe a thing he says after this? Without responsibility..paranormal research looks like a joke to anyone rational. And it ruins things for the very legitimate cases.

Could you believe a thing he says after this? Without responsibility..paranormal research looks like a joke to anyone rational. And it ruins things for the very legitimate cases. CSICOP is a biased anti-UFO (among other topics) skeptic site frequented by myopically logical folks and which is noted for posting articles that frequently rely on deceit, dishonesty and outright lies to make their generally poorly researched points. Art Bell on the other hand is just a talk-show interviewer who coincidentally interviewed and got caught up in a bizarre event with which he had nothing to do with the subsequent suicide event that occurred after the interview other than being an outside observer just as everyone else was. Disinformation Agents sneak around in many shapes and forms.
Folks should read how NICAP was infiltrated by DIAs.
plutronusps. I listened to that interview live, and I did not hear anything out of the ordinary from any of the other Art Bell style interviews.

That article is only one of several. Art may not have influenced those kids..but he doesn't screen what he presents to his audience and I find fault with that. I'm not big on charlatans... there are too many people out there who listen to this and BELIEVE it's real when there is never a shred of verification. That bothers me. Kids committing suicide in order to rise up to a space ship in a comet's tail and whisk off to the promise land..should be everyone's concern.

So he actually interviewed the guy who ended up encouraging all those people to kill themselves? It's kind of freaky that the guy who was planning on making everybody commit suicide would be out advertising for more potential victims. That's messed up.
I have to admit though, not that I am trying to defend Art Bell or anything, but claiming that a UFO is in the tail of a comet is no wackier than a lot of the other crazy stuff I hear on those paranormal radio talk shows. I think a lot of them are like supermarket tabloids...they seem to thrive on sensationalism. Maybe it's because most of the people who want to shout their stories out to the world are the fruitcakes who really should be keeping silent while the people who have really had UFO and abduction experiences have a tendency to keep it to themselves.

No..A ufo in the tail of a comet isn't all that nuts..but this guy pretty much Jim Jones'd a bunch of kids into committing suicide because that was the only way to get there..to release the soul rise to the ship and the aliens would give them new bodies. Maybe Art should have looked into Applewhite (a Texan:) ) a bit more..his history was a stand out. All that I'm saying is that when it comes to irresponsible journalism..Art is a stand out too...and people believe him because they're so eager to know about the super natural..they think he really knows about it, when he's as clueless as the rest of us. In this case..Applewhite evoked the largest mass suicide in this country which unfortunately proves..how intensely needful some people are for a living Messiah. Naturally the media made this horrible joke about the whole thing and who would believe stuff like this and this is why no one believes anything to do with UFO's because most are a bunch of loons. Art went underground. I know he has his loving followers and he may be a really nice guy...he needs to step up and do some home work before he puts something on the air and if there isn't any kind of verification..he needs to say that too. IMO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Applewhite

I'm not big on charlatans... there are too many people out there who listen to this and BELIEVE it's real when there is never a shred of verification. That bothers me. Kids committing suicide in order to rise up to a space ship in a comet's tail and whisk off to the promise land..should be everyone's concern. Its curious how the stories change with time. As for Art Bell not screening his guests...imposing his slant on things by biasing the interviews through deceit of screening, who else does in talk-show media? Do you think that it is likely that Jeff Rense or ParaNet Radio are any different? Only prime-time TV interviews are planned and pre-screened, that's why there is little of social value in those interviews...its all scripted to fit some-body's agenda. Isn't that process akin to another known generally as being 'censorship'? Yep. Part of the reason Art Bell was so interesting was that he didn't screen out the politically or other socially incorrect guests' thinking and nor does Jeff Rense or likely any of the other thousands of alternative subjects talk-show hosts.
Regarding the 'kids'...
All of the 'kids' including the leader, Marshall Applewhite is presented on their website with their personal profiles. I mirrored the Heavens Gate website, I have it all should ya wanna read what they actually said about themselves rather than having to rely just on what the yakkers out there are saying about them now-a-days. The majority of the 'kids' who committed suicide were mostly in their mid-thirties and forties. There were a few adults who were in their mid-20's however, those people were mainly the 'staff' that created their group's web-presence, everyone else were in their 50s+years. I learned that information from their website prior to their suicides and prior to the Art Bell interviews. The following paragraph are borrowed from our beloved WikiPedia:It wasn't as though they were whisked off in the spur-of-the-moment or had been influenced in some manner to kill themselves by talk-radio show interviewers, no, they had been planning their 'trip' for over 20 years as a community. How did Art Bell or Jeff Rense who both had interviewed them, influence that? As for members of the public listening to talk-show guest interviews and being stupid enough to embrace splattering themselves, hah hah hah, that really strikes my funny bone...
So that I don't get into trouble here, I really don't consider suicide as being a laughing matter, however the calloused parts of me, isolated by the pain caused by it, allows me to laugh about the idea of it....its a hollow laugh. Those poor people, not the Heaven's Gate, but all the others...those poor people...
Back in the '70s when I was in school and on weekends (I'm a Pisces), I was a volunteer 'LA Suicide HotLine Operator'. The telephone service was piped into my residence and was paid for and hosted by a non-profit blind-persons organization. They were kewl. It was an activity that I found to be very rewarding. I frequently received calls, conversing with emotionally ill people who called in for help. Sometimes they were just very lonely people and others just needed some one to talk to, a 'friend' that they could confide in with no strings; some others were very ill. I was 'the operator' for one gal who called fairly regularly and who always asked for me. She was a teenage member of an extremely dysfunctional abusive family. Several weeks I was sick with the Hong-Kong Flu (nearly killed me) and I missed two of her phone calls.....she was a teenage African-American, a really sweet girl. She jumped off a 101 Freeway overpass and was hit by a dozen cars speeding along at 65 mph.
I really do not consider suicide to be a laughing matter. But frankly I've learned that those who feel compelled to commit suicide, that unfortunately they generally do so. And irregardless of the protective and often ineffective measures that society provides for those in the attempt to make the world safe for the suicidal. If someone is so ill that listening to one radio-show instills within them the desire to actually kill them-self, it wasn't because of the show content.
Sadly,
plutronus

I would like to see the website. I wasn't really paying attention to this incident when it happened so I don't really know much about it other than what the news media said about a bunch of nuts killing themselves so they could ride in a UFO. Most of what the news media says is nonsense anyway. It would be good to learn about it from the original sources.

To me..doesn't matter. I live in the area..I saw the coroner putting them on the stretchers.. because one man was a lying jerk. There IS a difference between suicide and mass suicide coerced by a strong leader (Jim Jones ref here). He believed it I'm sure..he still faked a photo to make his case more sensational. It draws all attention to why people need to research as much as they can and not trust that they are hearing the truth. There are lots and lots of people looking for a Messiah (Harold ref here) a lot of them are young..looking for answers. So..to me someone like Art Bell has a responsibility to do a bit of homework before he broadcasts. You have your opinion...I have mine..I see stupid needless deaths. A suicide is an 'end' to pain..an 'end' to hardship. These kids were expecting a beginning..a new adventure with brand new bodies...flying through space. We see things...in very different light.

I found the original website. It's still available on the internet. After reading through it I have come to the conclusion that this Applewhite dude was a nut! Why would anybody follow a wackjob like that? He was preaching his doomsday end of the world nonsense for several decades. Apparently they were receiving quite a bit of publicity too. They were written about in books and magazines, interviewed on the radio and filmed in documentaries. It wasn't just Art Bell who was in on it, a lot of people were. Maybe nobody really took their talk of leaving the world seriously. I don't understand why anybody would do anything as stupid as what these people did...and I'm not just talking about committing suicide. The way they were living was practically the same as being dead. They couldn't have any friends, couldn't have sex, couldn't communicate with the outside world, couldn't have any money or personal possessions...killing themselves was probably a relief from the way they were "living." Why would anybody want to do that to themselves? My IQ doesn't go low enough to understand these people.

Lois there is too much talk about ufos, look what it did to these poor souls. I told her they were all crazy in the first place to think a ufo would pick them up after leaving this world . like you say he was a nut. Thanks for your input sky on their lives now I have something to tell my sister . and will I ever?

I agree with you Sky..but these self made guru's seem to have some mesmeric quality..some fanaticism that sucks others in. I've never understood the power they have but I think Hitler was an example of one. There are innocents that will follow where the demented lead it seems...and like you..my intelligence doesn't swoop low enough to understand it. Some say Applewhite thought he was dying...that could tip the scales of reason but he was nuts a long time in my book. Suicide to catch a train to another life. Do you remember on UFO mania..a woman who talked of the aliens she was in contact with..waiting to give her a new body..a forever body? People are so unhappy and even disgusted with themselves..or getting older and wanting a fountain of youth...anything might be believed if it represents a lifeline to them. We try to hold onto this form because it's the only one we know...not knowing what comes next can be all that is frightening. Will I have this personality? Will I be me..will I remember? Some people just look for Applewhites.

lasvegascitylife.com/sections/news/return-art-bell.html?j&i&i September 12, 2013 THE RETURN OF ART BELLby George Knapp What is it about the Mojave desert that seems to inspire widespread and abiding interest in weird stuff? Did all of those above-ground nuclear tests cause some sort of genetic mutation among the masses, something akin to The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman? Is there an undiscovered psychoactive mushroom that stimulates strange visions or distorted thoughts? Something in the water, maybe? “I don’t know. Something in our air. Something in our water. Whatever it is, we seem to be motivated to explore that which other people don’t,” radio icon Art Bell tells me. And if anyone should know, it’s Bell. Long before most of the world had heard anything about the mysteries of Area 51, before controversial scientist Bob Lazar became a household name, before former CIA pilot John Lear was warning about secret treaties between the U.S. government and space aliens, before space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow established his own scientific think tank to pursue paranormal subjects, Pahrump resident Art Bell was hot on the trail of weird, wacky and wonderful subjects that reside out on the fringes of science and media. UFOs, alien abductions, Bigfoot, ghosts, mystery creatures, unseen realms and parallel realities have been explored and dissected by Bell for decades, to the frightful delight of millions of radio listeners. Most of the programs he’s hosted originated from a comfortable compound on the edge of Pahrump, a home ringed by a forest of thin radio antennae, in a community known for its love of freedom, individuality and odd characters — an area dubbed by Bell as “The Kingdom of Nye.” “Even though I have been approached a lot about TV projects, I have a face that’s made for radio,” Bell cracked during our recent interview at his home. “And there is something about Pahrump, something about the desert, that I love.” Bell has radio waves in his blood. He earned his first radio operator’s license at 13, operated a pirate radio show for the troops during the Vietnam conflict, was a record-setting DJ at a Japanese radio giant after his service, and in the late ’70s found himself behind the microphone at KDWN, a Las Vegas-based 50,000-watt AM powerhouse. He hosted a call-in talk show during the late-night time slot that most radio stations ignore. “When I was on KDWN, it was a political show, and I got to the point where I was fed up,” Bell says. “I couldn’t take it anymore, so one day I said, that’s it, I’m done with politics. I’m going to talk about things that interest me. So I did. And the phones lit up.” Within a few years, Bell had transformed late-night radio from a wasteland into a juggernaut. In 1988, Coast to Coast AM was born, with Bell broadcasting from his Pahrump home as a radio version of Rod Serling.

It looks like Art Bell is calling it quits. I just read this post from him on Facebook. "I am sorry to have to announce this but I will not be on Tonight or any other night, yes I am going to hang it up. Whoever this crazy person is, they are not stopping and it has come to the point that we as a Family do not feel it is worth the risk. While I think the person or persons are after me, my Wife and now my Daughter are really scared, the other night after the latest incident my Daughter was off in the corner of her bed scared to death as the Police cars came screaming up. I will not put my Family through this. As you all know I dearly love what I do but not at the expense of never ending Terrorism. I want to thank those of you who have shown so much support and it has been my joy, short as it has been to have cracked that Mic open for a last time. This was a Family decision. The girls stuck with me and still would but if one of them were harmed because of what I love doing my life would be over.
Art"It seems that somebody has been stalking him and terrorizing his family. This is the first I even knew anything was going on. I'll see if I can find some more info.
