While I do not think George Noory is perfect, and who is, he's waaayyyy better than the others. I have stopped listening to Ian (condescending attitude and his own bloated agenda have turned me off). I begrudgingly listen to the insulting and 'know-it-all' Art Bell once in a while, although I admit to switching channels whenever he was on in his heyday. Don't care for his attitude, although I did try my best to get his wife's passport problems straightened out.
What these radio hosts need to know is that the listeners rule, not them. I don't tune in to hear the host's opinion. Couldn't care less, actually. I tune in for the guests. While I'm not saying I don't like George, he's not the real reason I tune in, but he is a better host than the rest.
While I rate George Knapp second, because he is fair and really listens to the guests, his little schtick about the rocketing "sirocco" in the beginning of his evening annoys me to no end.
So, people, it is George by 3 lengths!
