Topic: What would make Coast to Coast AM better?

[Oversoul]

Competition is the only solution.  Imagine what would happen if a new "Art Bell Show" suddenly appeared in the same time slot on another radio network.  Coast to Coast would fade to black in no time.

Do you know anyone who can produce a new and better show?  I'd co-host such a new show in a heartbeat.

What would make the program better? Well ...

(1) Stop having so many completely moronic guests. Stick to speculative science and areas where research is actually taking place.

 (2) Reduce the time spent of all of those damn commercials. What do we get ... about 32 minutes (maximum) of dialog between guest and host per hour?

 (3) How many different researchers are going to be invited on to rehash topics like the Annunaki, Inlil and all of the stuff we've already heard and can read by Zacharia Sitchin? Have listeners forgot how to read? Another one ... tell those great woodsmen to bag me a Chewbacca (aka - Big Foot).

Just a partial list

34 by my clock, but you're right, it's still too little, and the fact that many of the ads are voiced by Simple George makes it seem like even less. Scary thing is that C2C has the least commercial load of any major radio talk show I've heard. Try listening to Glenn Beck sometime - at least 40 minutes per hour of advertising.

What if Dickweed was replaced by Mancow?

How about getting a sales staff to find new advertisers.Im sick of hearing
that crappy income at home crap.I thought I would check into it to see if
it was as easy as norron claimed.After a couple of calls it turned out It was gonna cost almost $500.00 just to get started.

I CANNOT stand income at home and some of the others.. I actually like the CC radio ads because they make me think of Art Bell.


But what I really, really don't like (*and this is probably very petty*) is that the ad's placement is before the thunder strike..
With Art, I liked how the music would play, Art would postulate, and the thunder would scare you and the music stopped. Like a back to business part of the show... fun is over. Now, the disrespect of that aspect of the show bothers me..


Again, maybe petty, but it is something that really gets under my skin.
Thankfully none of the other hosts do this. Just Captain of the ship Noory.

that ad is apparently part of the network since its heard by other radio show hosts on Premiere Radio.
so they probably have to carry it along with other network sponsors.
i heard the work at home deal is for health supplements by Herbal Life.

Which makes George's claim to personally look into and approve all sponsors just more of the same... suckage.

Yea They advertise all over the place.Which is how they make their money.
They have their upline talk you into various levels of the program (before you even start) it will cost you  $200.00 -$500.00.
