Coast to Coast Station List

Noticed on C2C's website that it has decreased their list of stations from over 500 to just a handful.

What's going on here?
Perhaps it was a glitch with their website, or maybe they were updating the content when you were checking their page. Earlier today when I first saw this thread and checked I also saw only about a dozen stations listed, but when I just went back to the C2C site and selected "See All Stations", there are a few hundred listed once again.

Wow! It's amazing how their webpage got corrected after the C2C webperson emailed me and said my computer was probably in the wrong setting. Wooooo. But - it wasn't just me (haHA!); I have Mikey as my witness! You GOTTA believe it now.

(I feel like I've seen a UFO... and nobody will believe me. I know - I'll call Coast to Coast!)

It was the same way for me. I checked this morning after I read your post and only about 12 stations. Checked this afternoon and they are all back to normal. Guess you didn't see a UFO? Or did you?
 
In most areas of the US you can dx c2c on several or more AM stations. The show is probably carried in 90 percent of top 100 markets. They win by default.
 
^^^^^ And a lot of those stations put out decent signals. I can listen to C2C on KFBK, KUMA, KEX and sometimes a couple other stations at night. Sometimes I prefer them because one of them, KEX, runs the show 7 hours instead of six (they repeat the first three hours instead of just two, like local KIRO-FM does. Sometimes I miss some of the show, so it helps with that.
 
The late Art Bell was the pioneer of this type of late night show. Does anyone know if his ā€œsomewhere in timeā€ is still being marketed? Maybe online? Too tired to search this evening...but I remember being captivated by not only his distinct voice but his fascinating content.

The problem with that show was being an overnight show. When ad agencies stopped being interested in buying ads during those times and when the audience for the show got past a certain age, the model rapidly fell apart.

The whole Art Bell story in particular, was an interesting and yet tragic one on so many levels.

Might make a good book or movie.

Last I checked "Somewhere In Time" was on several 50,000 watt AMs on Saturday night
 
It would be a combination of too boring at times, and yet too bizarre in other times. Nobody would believe it.
What? How would a story about his life a true life story be hard to believe? He was a radio host? If it was a made for tv movie im sure people would watch and appreciate it.

If one included his spiral down into depression, possibly killing his wife overseas, and all the paranoia? Maybe. To me, it would be too hard to follow.
 
Hey, if they can make a movie about Chuck Barris claiming to be a CIA hitman, why not a treatment of the Art Bell "story"?

As with most things Hollywood, it would only need to have a very tenuous relationship with the truth.

There are a lot E-rated movies out there. I streamed a real dud from Bruce Willis just the other day; Breach. I'd say the only worst Bruce Willis movie has to be Hudson Hawk. Remains the only movie where I've actually walked out of the theater just a few minutes into the movie.

By now, 99% of the population doesn't know who Art Bell is, let alone that he was somehow on that OG thing called Radio at night. If some producer got backing from a Chinese investor, maybe they could make a movie about an Art Bell story. It would probably garner similar reviews to Breach.

One of the worst examples of this was the movie "54" which was supposed to be about New York City's famous disco nightclub Studio 54. A lot of critics and viewers panned this movie because there were so many interesting stories and fascinating characters that actually patronized the real Studio 54 that it'd easily have been enough to fill 2 full hours of screentime with maybe some enhancements here and there to the script to tie it altogether and create a storyline...Yet Miramax chose to create a mostly fictional story, with some characters very loosley based on actual clubgoers.

that is not an E-rated flick…it is definitely F-.

I lasted about 20 minutes.

And that's the thing about doing movie stories about someone formerly in the entertainment biz. Usually the family is involved or the producer will expect a cease and desist letter from their lawyer. I somehow doubt Bell's kids would agree to having some of their father's strange and dirty laundry exposed to the public in a movie. Even if much of it is fictional.
