Cumulus Dropping Coast To Coast AM In Multiple Markets
radio insight ^ | 2/23/12 | Lance Venta

Posted on 02/24/2012 12:08:22 AM PST by raccoonradio

Cumulus Media has dropped Coast To Coast AM with George Noory from multiple markets and replaced it with its own Red Eye Radio.

Among the stations that have dropped the program are 770 KKOB & 1050 KTBL Albuquerque, 1290 WNBF Binghamton, 890 WLS Chicago, 710 KCMO Kansas City, 630 WPRO/99.7 WEAN Providence, 980 WAAV Wilmington NC, and 630/105.9 WMAL Washington DC. In two of the markets, the program has already found a new home as it is picked up by Clear Channel’s 920 WHJJ Providence and Sea-Comm’s “Big Talker” 93.7 WNTB/106.3 WLTT Wilmington NC.

For now Coast To Coast remains on a few Cumulus stations including 560 KSFO San Francisco and 570 KLIF Dallas, although the latter is no longer listed on the show’s affiliate page.

I rarely listen to Noorey anymore. I personally believe UFO’s are BS and that topic seems to be the “anchor” subject for that radio program. Honestly, how many times can you dig up new material on something someone saw outside Las Vegas or in the New Mexico desert in 1947?

My personal opinion is that folks like Noorey, Bell, and others who continually dig at this topic, actually play right into the hands of the government. The more they rant about how all the stuff seen at Area 51 was extraterrestrial, the more they provide a diversion from what was really happening there.......just highly top secret terrestrial experiments in developing military technology against the Soviets. Nothing more...nothing less.

I really enjoyed listening to Art Bell. He was simply one of the most gifted broadcasters ever to talk into a microphone. And it wasn’t the subject matter— he could have read the dictionary and made it fascinating.

Loved him too. What a voice, hate to see his show, c2c, go off the air, but without him the shows a bore.

C2C used to interview smart, thoughtful people with something interesting to say, at least from time to time. Now they showcase total nutcases making up elaborate but boring fantasies who push their books full of such nonsense.

George Noory doesn't help.

Just once I’d like to hear Noory disagree with one of his guests, or challenge one of their claims.

. I never listened to Noory for politics though, just for laughs and ghost stories.

I love the ghost stories while I’m driving through the night. It sure beats the sports talk shows. After all I’m trying to stay awake.

Coast To Coast has been filled with fascinating stuff for decades now: UFOs; alien abductions and invasions; Age of Aquarius predictions; alternative cures for everything under the sky; ghosts; ESP; Remote Viewing; End of World predictions; Atlantis discoveries; Martian civilization discoveries; Past Life memories; Future Life predictions; Time Travel speculations; Apocalyptic and Rhapsodic warnings; Epiphanies; High Colonics; High Priests of the Druid Rites; and, occasionally, something really weird.

Not one such postulation has been proven or predictive.

At least Art Bell had a great voice for radio, asked searching questions of the callers and guests, and connected with the tuned-in insomniacs inhabiting the profound silences between the words of his slow cadences. He was entertaining. He stirred the imagination. He understood the power of radio. His wonderful voice and mind, caught fleetingly on an AM car radio along an empty stretch of Arizona highway in the vast desert night, was capable of indelible memories. The show - as anything other than a clearinghouse for all-too-predictable craziness - died when he left.

Since Art is here in the Philippines, I sent a quick email
to say hello, as we are both old time ham operators, licensed
within a few months of each other.
He did send a simple two word thank you.

He was, at least, ahead of me in bagging a sweet young Philippine wife :)

I agree with the critical remarks about C2C and I can add many more -- in fact if one were to Internet search for williamofcarmichael and coasttocoastAM there are dozens over the years.

Examples,
- Noory got furious (literally) at Professor John Lott for not addressing Obama as PRESIDENT! Obama.
- During the Bush years Alex Jones was virtually a co-host with his reports on Bush evil doings.. now that he's reporting on Obama he is virtually unknown.
- Once Noory demanded (literally) that Jones appear the next night to explain why his website was "mean" to PRESIDENT Obama.
- During election 2004 (maybe 2006) Noory dedicated a telephone line for listeners to report Republican voter fraud -- Noory had featured an expert on election fraud where it was "revealed" that the CEO of a company that made voting machines was a Republican
- Noory would not permit regular guest Dr. Jerome Corsi to talk about his books on Obama saying that there had to be someone there to refute what Corsi would say.
- Never once did Noory even mention such consideration for Bush -- in fact just a couple of weeks ago C2C continued its going on 12 years of Bush bashing.
- through it all Noory routinely says that C2C is nonpartisan.
- FINALLY! about a month ago C2C actually dedicated a show to criticizing Obama for his part in NDAA.

There are more.

Through it all, though, I have never doubted Noory's patriotism -- in my day he'd be a FDR Democrat, hates Republican "Daddy Warbucks." He hates Halliburton and Dick Cheney.

I've listened to C2C since before it was C2C when Bell was doing his mostly political show from KDWN hotel studios.

I lost respect for Bell when he went nuts over the global warming crap -- when every show it seemed was space aliens and loved ones from the "other side" telling us to stop destroying the earth -- turns out he had invested tons of his money in "alternate energy."

I must add one more thing to my post above.. C2C IMO uses its "nonpartisan" claim to influence scores of apolitical voters who simply do not pay attention to day-to-day politics and know very little about issues.

“Red Eye is syndicated by Cumulus while Clear Channel’s Premiere division syndicates Coast to Coast.”

This likely has a lot to do with it. Cumulus stations replacing a show syndicated by rival Clear Channel with one of their own.

You neglected to mention the reincarnation/past lives shows. Sorry, George Noory, only one bite at the apple is allowed.

I’ve noticed he’s doing more politics than just a little while ago. There’s enough of that during the day, and I don’t think I’m being elitist by offering my opinion that people awake at midnight for whatever reason would rather hear about time-traveling yeti than another angle on the issue of the day.
