I concur with those who truly believe the present C2C format, with the current producers and host at the helm, cannot be salvaged. We are talking about producers whose individual and collective caliber is one that is obviously low. That said, they must bear a lot of responsibility for the show's decline. And to be honest, I think they are without question totally apathetic re the downward spiral of the program. As long as the sales revenue increases or sustains during each fiscal quarter, they couldn't give a rat's
a** about the show's content - which is pretty bloody obvious.
That said, what with all calls being screened, and the 7 second "delay" in broadcasting each show, the producers (and George) have mastered total control in regards to any negative comments from callers who wish to critique the show (whether constructively or otherwise).
When I first heard Snoory on C2C, I intitially thought he was a kind, decent, and easy-to-listen-to host....for the first half hour. Then, like many here, I quickly ascertained that this man was "off". Subsequential listening to the program only enhanced and entrenched my beliefs. George, what with his atrocious hosting skills and serious lack of intellectual capabilities, cannot be salvaged; he too is more concerned with selling himself and attaching himself to numerous television and other media money-making concepts then he is at caring at all about C2C.
Plus, I hate to state this, but based on many of the open-lines callers I have had the true displeasure of listening to, I truly believe Noory's coming
on-board to helm the show also opened the proverbial floodgates; a lower common demonimator in terms of audience is now the rule and not the exception.
Here in Canada, we had a wonderful radio program on the same lines as Coast To Coast AM, entitled "The Richard Syrett Show". It was broadcast from Toronto. Mr. Syrett was, and is, a highly intelligent and discerning individual; one who is highly self-educated in the areas of UFOlogy, the paranormal and science. His guests were impressive, and Mr. Syrett ensured the quality and qualifications of his guests met his high standards. The corporation that owned the radio station abruptly cancelled Richard's show earlier this year, much to the chagrin of the loyal audience. Sadly, I had no choice but to return to C2C.
Today, I cannot stomach even 20 minutes of listening to George. This man is so bloody insulting to my intelligence (and the intelligence of his credible guests) that I am now, like many of you, at a serious loss re deficiency of this realm of programming.
Here's a video of Canadian Richard Syrett during a recent interview he gave here in Toronto. This man and George Noory are night and day, and we Canadians hope Richard will soon return to the Canadian airwaves.
