I was a huge Sci-Fi fan from my early teens in the ‘70s
through the early 90s. I begin with my Sci-Fi notification because I heard some
sad info that a Sci-Fi/Paranormal legend died on April 13, 2018 (age 72) – Art Bell.
Bell founded Coast to Coast AM which
broadcast at the wee hours of the night and developed quite the cult following
in the 90s. Bell retired from full-time radio broadcasting in 2003. Here is an
about 15-minute excerpt from the current host of Coast to Coast AM - George
Noory - paying a tribute:
If you are an Art Bell fan, Coast to Coast AM has put
together a web page tribute of videos, audios, photos and artwork. Just to be a
bit repetitive, here is the title with the link embedded: Remembering Art Bell: Videos, Audio, Photos
& Artwork.
And here is the Coast to Coast AM’s radio tribute to
Bell (4-hours’ worth) that you can list to: Art Bell Tribute Show.

Below are four bio/obituary sources beginning with Fox
News, The Wrap, a radio Conspiracy Theorist Joel Ayala Ayapana talking
numerology (41-minute audio) and ending with a Youtube Channel Cyber Command
– that has a 2-hour video of an audio billed as Bell’s last interview. The Cyber
Command info section has a very good bio of Art Bell thus I will begin with
the bio and end with the video.

Art Bell, whose 'Coast to Coast
AM' radio show reveled in the paranormal, dies at 72
April 14, 2018
Radio host Art Bell, famous for his show “Coast to Coast AM”
and its "X-Files"-flavored focus on the paranormal, died Friday (his
fans will note, that was Friday the 13th) at the age of 72, Nevada authorities
confirmed Saturday.
Bell died at his Pahrump, Nev., home, Nye County Sheriff
Sharon Wehrly announced in a Facebook post to
the community. She described him as a “longtime resident” of the area and said
an autopsy to confirm the cause of death would be performed later this week.
“Coast to Coast AM” confirmed the news on Twitter,
saying its staff was "profoundly saddened with the news that the creator
and original host of Coast to Coast AM, Art Bell, has passed away at the age of
72."

According to an obituary shared by
the program, the show became syndicated across the country in 1993
and drew in listeners with its wee-hours chatter about conspiracy theories and
aliens, shadow people and spectral energy.
The obituary said that as Bell “begins his journey on the
‘Other Side,’ we take solace in the hope that he is now finding out all of the
answers to the mysteries he pursued for so many nights with all of us.”
Even after relinquishing his title as host in the early
2000s, Bell returned to the airwaves now and then, and he also started a show
for satellite radio, the obituary said.
Before “Coast to Coast AM” began, Bell, who was born in
1945, was in the Air Force during the Vietnam War and there he “indulged his
childhood passion for radio by operating a pirate radio station,” according to
the obituary.
The show tweeted a
comment from its current host, George
Noory, who described Bell as “a legend – a radio icon who went
against the grain and developed an amazing show called 'Coast to Coast AM.' His
impact on my life is beyond words. He will be missed, but I know he is now on
another journey.”

Bell broadcast “Coast to Coast" from his radio station,
KNYE, in Pahrump.
During Bell’s National Radio Hall of Fame induction in 2008,
his former business partner, Alan Corbeth, said no one was better than Bell at
understanding “how to create theater of the mind.”

Art Bell, a self-proclaimed expert on the paranormal who
hosted a popular syndicated radio show for decades, has died at the age of 72 —
on Friday the 13th, appropriately enough.
Bell died in his home in Pahrump, Nevada, according to the
Nye County sheriff’s office.
Community Announcement — Long time resident, and radio show host, Art Bell died today at 72 years old in his home in Pahrump Nevada. https://t.co/eNOYD97i4b— Nye County Sheriff (@NyeSheriff) April 14, 2018
He started out as a disc jockey but drifted into political
talk radio in the 1970s and saw a ratings boost when he veered into the realm
of conspiracy theories and the paranormal. He espoused his belief in alien
abductions, ghosts, crop circles report — and even that the Hale-Bopp comet
that neared the Earth in 1986 was being followed by a UFO.
Soon, his late-night show “Coast to Coast” gained national
syndication and allowed him to broadcast from his own Pahrump-based radio
station, KNYE 95.1 FM. At the height of his fame, as many as 500 stations
carried his show in the U.S. and Canada.
Bell also made cameo appearances (typically as himself) in
movies like 2007’s “I Know Who Killed Me” and TV shows like “Dark Skies.”
In a 1999 interview with Larry King on CNN, Bell displayed
the even-keeled tone and that made his out-there theorizing seem so reasonable
and inviting.
“People are always demanding proof,” he told King at one
point. “These are things that are not easily proved.”

Topic of Discussion:
One of radio’s most successful syndicated hosts has died. Both the Las Vegas Review Journal and NBC TV in Las Vegas are reporting that Art Bell died at his home in Las Vegas on Friday, April 13. The Nye County Sheriff’s Office announced that an autopsy will be done later this week to determine the cause of death.
Bell’s paranormal-themed overnight show, “Coast to Coast AM,” was syndicated on hundreds of stations by Premiere back in the 90’s. He left the show in 2002. He also had a show on SiriusXM in 2013. Bell was 72 years old. Most recently Premiere was syndicating Bell’s show Somewhere In Timewhich was the best in classic Art Bell shows from 6pm – 10pm on Saturdays.
Arthur William Bell III was an American broadcaster and author. He was the founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM syndicated on hundreds of radio stations in the U.S. and Canada.
"Well, I did the Numbers. He died on a "1" day. But it was a "Friday the 13th". In Numerics, the "13" means NEW Beginnings. He was also "72" which adds up significantly to the Number #9. In the World of the esoteric and in the Cabal, these are relatively emphasized numbers in that world of things. But all-in-all Police Reports at his home town have been relatively secretive. And of course, there's a scheduled autopsy to determine cause of death which is unknown now as we speak. So, as a patterns-recognition enthusiast (I guess)... things are a lil' questionable. But again I was a BIG Fan of Art Bell who was a huge Conspiracy Theorist like me, LoL! But seriously, this is a very Sad Day bro. I attribute my Podcast at QMR and our Podcast Network at REAL REVOLUTION RADIO to this wonderful man. Peace be with you ART! Your legacy continues with me and with millions of others you've touched. This special show is intended to pay tribute to the life and times and of the very inspiring message of world-renown alternative broadcaster, Mr. Art Bell himself!"

The passing of Art Bell / 13 Apr 2018
We are profoundly saddened with the news that the creator
and original host of Coast to Coast AM, Art Bell, has passed away at the age of
72 at his home in Pahrump, Nevada.
While serving in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War, he
indulged his childhood passion for radio by operating a pirate station that
played anti-war music otherwise unavailable on official channels broadcast to
American servicemen.
Following his time in the service, his love of radio led him
to working as a disc jockey for an English-language station in Japan where he
set a Guinness World Record for broadcasting an astounding 116 hours straight.
This was no mere radio stunt, however, as it served to raise
funds to rescue over 100 Vietnamese orphans left stranded by the conflict in
their home country.
Upon returning to the United States, he entered the world of
talk radio with an overnight program on KDWN in Las Vegas.
After noticing that episodes covering conspiracy theories
and paranormal topics generated considerable interest from listeners, Bell
transformed the show from political talk to discussion of these often-verboten
realms.
Syndicated nationally in 1993, Coast to Coast AM soon became
a juggernaut and bonafide radio phenomenon.
During the 1990s, when The X-Files had people wondering
about the world of high strangeness, Art Bell was the voice of that world,
introducing millions of radio listeners to a vast array of paranormal topics
and the researchers that studied them.
Over the course of countless programs throughout the decade
and into the 2000s, Art Bell captivated listeners by way of his
intellectually-curious and open-minded conversations with guests who were
attempting to find answers to the paranormal mysteries which baffle us all.
Although he retired from full-time hosting duties in 2003,
Art returned to occasionally helm Coast to Coast AM programs on weekends and
later launched his own satellite radio program, Art Bell's Dark Matter, as well
as an internet-based endeavor called Midnight in the Desert.
As founder of Coast to Coast AM, his role in crafting and
shaping this program can be felt to this day in elements like the iconic phone
lines emanating from East of the Rockies, West of the Rockies, and the
always-unpredictable Wildcard Line, as well as the annual Ghost to Ghost AM
Halloween specials and, of course, C2C's signature opening theme song.
We celebrate him for his brilliant creation of Coast to
Coast AM and the many unforgettable moments he shared with us over the years.
As he begins his journey on the 'Other Side,' we take solace
in the hope that he is now finding out all of the answers to the mysteries he
pursued for so many nights with all of us.
