At its peak, ''Coast to Coast AM'' under Bell was syndicated by Premiere Radio Network, and aired on more than 500 radio stations and boasted a weekly listening audience in excess of 10 million listeners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.insideradio.com/free/radio-host-art-bell-dead-at/article_937236ee-4145-11e8-bdbb-7b5841033d1a.html|title=Radio Host Art Bell Dead At 72|website=Inside Radio|date=16 April 2018|access-date=18 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/the-outer-limits-a-lone-voice-in-the-desert-lures-10-million-listeners/2013/10/28/95615598-3ff6-11e3-9c8b-e8deeb3c755b_story.html|title=The outer limits: A lone voice in the desert lures 10 million listeners|last=Fisher|first=Marc|date=1998-03-29|access-date=2014-07-28|newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/|title=The Top Talk Radio Audiences|work=]|access-date=2014-07-28|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209101821/http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/|archive-date=February 9, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Since 2013 the weekly listener numbers have declined to 2.5 million.<ref name="talkers.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/|title=The Top Talk Radio Audiences|work=Talkers Magazine|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209101821/http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/|archive-date=February 9, 2014|access-date=2015-03-29|df=mdy-all}}</ref> According to estimates by '']'', ''Coast to Coast AM'' has a cumulative weekly audience of around 2.75 million unique listeners listening for at least five minutes, making it the ] in its time slot.<ref name="talkers2.15">{{cite web|title=The Top Talk Radio Audiences (Updated 2/15)|url=http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/|work=]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140209101821/http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/|archive-date=February 9, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref> By 2010 the program was known as by far the most popular overnight show in the country,<ref name="Lavin" /> echoed by '']'' in 2017, citing ].<ref name="NYT1" />
== Format and subject matter ==
''Coast to Coast AM'' mostly emphasizes very unusual topics, and is full of personal stories related by callers. While program content varies, most nights are focused toward the ], and subjects such as ], ], ], ], ], ], ]s, ], ] and ], among other paranormal and unusual topics. Since the ] attacks carried out in the ] on ], the events of that day (as well as conspiracy theories surrounding them) and current U.S. ] strategy have also become frequent themes. However, more conventional topics are sometimes discussed, with interviews with notable authors and political talk sometimes featured.


The show is estimated to be carried by over 600 US affiliates,<ref name=affiliatecount/> along with a limited number of ], as well as many Canadian affiliates, several of which ] the show on their station's website. The affiliate group is fronted by 12 ]s, among them ] in ], ] in ], ] in ], ] in New York City, ] in ], ] in Los Angeles, and ] in ]. The show is also carried by ], on its ] channel 146.<ref>{{cite web |title=Road Dog Trucking Shows |url=https://www.siriusxm.com/roaddogtrucking |publisher=Sirius XM Radio |access-date=4 August 2020}}</ref>
After the theme song is played (]'s ''The Chase'' ''from ]''), the broadcast is typically kicked off with a reading of ] or news stories by the host, usually with at least one bizarre or peculiar story, with callers weighing in if time permits. This is usually followed by a lengthy interview with the evening's guest, or hours of open phone lines. Occasionally, round table discussions are held on one of the show's common topics.


==Criticism==
During hours of "open lines", calls are taken and put on air without any screening, at least according to original host Art Bell. More recently, under George Noory, open lines have added topics for callers to share their experiences or stories about a particular issue or situation. The show has multiple call-in numbers, of which there are always at least five (as of 2005): for ''"east of the ]"'', ''"west of the ]"'', first-time callers, ''"international callers"'' and finally a ''"wild card"'' line. They are all announced at the beginning of each broadcast by ]. The show's opening, which is now famous, had been spoofed on the now defunct nationally-syndicated '']'' (which aired immediately prior to Coast to Coast AM), with Hendrie imitating Mitchell's trademark deep voice and repeating his one phone number for all four lines. On special occasions, ''Coast to Coast AM'' rolls out more numbers, including lines that are reserved for special "themed" callers, for example those who claim to be from other ], time periods, and those ] by spirits.
Scholars have criticized ''Coast to Coast AM'' for promoting ] and ] ideas. Historian ] characterized the show as an "especially influential example" of the trend in modern media to disseminate false history and fake science.<ref name="Fritze2009">{{cite book|author=Ronald H. Fritze|title=Invented Knowledge: False History, Fake Science and Pseudo-religions|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l2BrqdFg5AkC|year=2009|publisher=Reaktion Books|isbn=978-1-86189-674-2}}</ref>


According to ] (SUNY) professor Paul Arras, early shows hosted by Art Bell featured guests that were frequently pseudoscientists, but "regardless of their reputation, all guests are presented as experts." According to Arras "Bell seems to believe much of what even his wildest guests say".<ref name="Arras2018">{{cite book|author=Paul Arras|title=The Lonely Nineties: Visions of Community in Contemporary US Television|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u7BhDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA137|year= 2018|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-3-319-93094-7|pages=137–}}</ref> ] professor Michael C. Keith noted a "characteristic of distrust and fear that is a part of the text of Coast to Coast —fear of the unknown, fear of invasion, fear of being taken over by some kind of evil force".<ref name="Lavin">{{cite web |last1=Lavin |first1=Timothy |title=The Listener |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/01/the-listener/307840/ |website=] |access-date=13 June 2019|date=January 2010 }}</ref>
The ] edition of ''Coast to Coast AM'' becomes '''''Ghost to Ghost AM''''', as listeners call in with their ghost stories. The ] show usually entails listeners calling in their predictions for the coming year, and the host (commonly Art Bell) rating the predictions made a year earlier. In recent years, the host of the New Year's Eve prediction show preface open line predictions that callers may not predict the assassination or death of the ]. Apparently such predictions made in the past have resulted in visits from the ] to the host's home.


Religious Studies lecturer David G. Robertson observed that "sweeping conspiratorial revisionist histories and ancient alien narratives" are a frequent feature of the show.<ref name="Robertson2016">{{cite book|author=David G. Robertson|title=UFOs, Conspiracy Theories and the New Age: Millennial Conspiracism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vXgwCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA101|year=2016|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|isbn=978-1-4742-5321-5|pages=101–}}</ref> Nolan Higdon of ] speculated that programs like ''Coast to Coast AM'' that "propagate unsubstantiated claims" were "potentially dangerous".<ref name="NYT1" />
== Hosts ==
''Coast to Coast AM'' was created by veteran broadcaster ] in the mid-1980s. Originally called '''''West Coast AM''''', it aired on ] radio station ] 720. Bell hosted the program each weekday morning from 1:00 AM to 5:00 AM Pacific Time, live from the KDWN studios in the Union Plaza Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. In addition to his show, Bell did radio commercials and other voice over work for the station.


According to '']'' senior editor Timothy Lavin, host George Noory "lets clearly delusional or pseudoscientific assertions slide by without challenge". Lavin wrote that "Coast to Coast AM has perfected a charged and conspiratorial worldview that now pervades American media".<ref name="Lavin" />
Bell's program was syndicated in ] as '''''Coast to Coast AM''''' and began airing on more stations. For a while it still kept the 1:00 AM starting time, but then moved to 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM and then to the present 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM schedule to better serve other time zones. Soon, Bell hosted the program every weeknight and Sundays from his residence in the town of ], located in ] (often referred to on the program as '''''The Kingdom of Nye'''''). Bell is a skilled interviewer, drawing out his callers' improbable stories with a poker-faced but confidence-inspiring, ''"Oh, really?"'' He has retired and returned to the show many times since ]; the first "retirement" lasted two weeks, and was brought on by alleged threats against his family. Late in ], ] subbed for Art Bell, interviewing the computer ] responsible for stopping all ] Trains over Y2K (]), but Art Bell's first actual successor as host of ''Coast to Coast'' was ].


In 1998, the ] awarded show host Art Bell their ] "Snuffed Candle Award", citing his work "for encouraging credulity, presenting pseudoscience as genuine, and contributing to the public's lack of understanding of the methods of scientific inquiry".<ref name="NYT2">{{cite news |last1=Roberts |first1=Sam |title=Art Bell, Radio Host Who Tuned In to the Dark Side, Dies at 72 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/17/obituaries/art-bell-radio-host-who-tuned-in-to-the-dark-side-dies-at-72.html |newspaper=] |access-date=13 June 2019|date=April 17, 2018 }}</ref>
In ], Siegel stepped down as host due to pressure from Premiere Radio Networks and Bell, as ratings and affiliates fell sharply during his tenure. Bell then returned to weekday hosting duties, only to depart again the following year due to chronic back pain. He was replaced by frequent guest-host ], and the weekday program officially became '''''Coast to Coast AM with George Noory''''' by the end of ].
CSI fellow ] has appeared on the show occasionally as "a voice of skepticism", saying his goal was to explain and demystify the "bizarre topics 'Coast to Coast' deals with" such as ] and ]s.<ref name="NYT1">{{cite news |last1=Bromwich |first1=Jonah Engel |last2=Wertheim |first2=Bonnie |title=Does Bigfoot Have a Soul?

==Hosts==
Bell made another comeback in ], this time replacing ] and ] on the weekend broadcasts. Then in ], he announced that he would be reducing his role to just two Sundays a month to leave more time for traveling with his wife. He also disclosed that ] and ] would take over the new vacancies. Previously, Rose had been a frequent guest-host of the program, and Punnett had regularly hosted Sunday evening broadcasts years ago. However, following the passing of his wife, Ramona Bell, on ], ], Art decided to return to the air on Saturdays and Sundays, stating in an emotion-filled<ref>{{cite web

Bell was the original host of the show, starting in 1988. He announced his retirement in 2000, but would return as show host, retire, and return again a number of times.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Dickey |first=Jack|url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2151794,00.html#ixzz2ehU9iB4g |title=Insomniac Radio King Art Bell Reclaims His Crown |magazine=] |date=2013-09-23 |access-date=2013-12-11}}</ref> Bell died in April 2018.

On ], ], concluding several months of mourning, Art Bell, 60, married 21 year old Airyn Ruiz, a resident of the Philippines whom he came to know through internet "dating." Art relocated to the Philippines and resumed hosting the show as of June 15, 2006, but has had difficulties with an ] line and hosts weekends as technology permits. Otherwise, George Noory substitute hosts the Sunday versions or a tape is played of a previous show. Saturdays are guest hosted when Bell is unavailable. On Saturday from 9 pm to 1 am Eastern Time, Punnett hosts ''Coast To Coast Live'' (]), a ] of the original ''Coast to Coast AM''.


===Mike Siegel===
On the Thursday Dec. 28th, 2006 show, Art Bell, filling in for the vacationing George Noory, announced that he was once again broadcasting from his longtime hometown of Pahrump, in Nye County, Nevada. He and his new wife Airyn made the flight from Manila to the US; his return to the US was kept secret. During his 8 month stay in the Philippines, Art married Airyn, is now expecting a baby and Airyn is awaiting her status as a legal resident of the US. An earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale occurred in Tae-Won, sending a 3 ft. Tsunami towards the Philippines islands. Had Art not left Manila at the time he did, he would not have been able to do the Dec. 28th, 2006 show as all communications to the Philippines were cut off, including the ISDN line that Bell used to send his broadcast to the US.
{{Main|Mike Siegel}}
Mike Siegel hosted the show from April 2000 until February 2001. He became a frequent substitute for Bell in late 1999, and when Bell announced his retirement in early 2000, he recommended Siegel to succeed him.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-11-ca-18179-story.html |title=Veteran Talk-Show Host Mike Siegel to Succeed Bell |newspaper=] |author=Judith Michaelson |date=April 11, 2000 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090509235300/http://articles.latimes.com/2000/apr/11/entertainment/ca-18179 |archive-date=May 9, 2009 |url-status=live |df=mdy }}</ref> Siegel maintained the format of the show that Bell had created, but his personal style was very different, and the show became less popular.

===Ian Punnett===
Bell stated that he "has no interest in returning to a 5-day work schedule" and will remain the Coast to Coast AM's Saturday and Sunday night host.
{{Main|Ian Punnett}}
Ian Punnett hosted the show sporadically, as either guest host or main host, between 1998 and 2012, and from 2018 to 2023.

===John B. Wells===
Art's return sparked a deluge of "welcome back calls" from callers across North America. Many callers stated that they were shocked and pleasantly surprised at Art's return to the US. Eight months allowed Bell to acclimatize to the 90° weather and 100% humidity encountered in the Philippines. Airyn being a Filipino native along with Art, were simply shocked by the 39°F temperature and the 55mph winds as they deplaned in the US. Art decided to leave his HAM (amateur) radio equipment in the Philippines as checking it at customs on his flight to the Philippines was a difficulty he wanted to avoid on his way back to the US.

In January 2012, ] replaced Punnett as host of the Saturday evening<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/99834/ian-punnett-to-step-down-from-saturday-coast-to-co |title=Ian Punnett To Step Down From Saturday 'Coast To Coast AM,' John B.

===George Noory===
] remains host of the weeknight editions. He broadcasts from, alternately, ] and ], and has had a continually positive effect on the program's ratings. He is consistently nonjudgmental in his responses to callers' comments, seemingly accepting at face value the credibility of their reported experience. He has promised listeners that he will "stick around" to host the show through ] (recently, Noory retracted that statement; he now says that he will stay until he is "dragged out"); his wish is to report on whatever might occur in relation to the many predictions of the world ending (or at least changing significantly) that year, as purportedly anticipated by the Mayan calendar, alleged bible code, and a number of spiritualist and other fantasy writers, prognosticators, predictors, shamans, the witch doctorate, and assorted prophets.
{{Main|George Noory}}
George Noory first took over show hosting duties in 2003 as a replacement for Bell, but was temporarily discontinued after Bell returned citing disagreements with Noory. After Bell's death in April 2018, Noory said that the two were "not that close" personally and that there were major differences in their approaches. Despite this, Noory said that Bell was "instrumental in me being where I am right now."<ref>{{cite web|title=Coast to Coast AM|url=http://www.talkers.com/tag/coast-to-coast-am/|website=Talkers|access-date=17 April 2018}}</ref> Noory currently hosts the show on weeknights and on the first Sunday of every month.

Coast to Coast AM is an American late-night radio talk show that deals with a variety of topics. Most frequently the topics relate to either the paranormal or conspiracy theories. It was hosted by creator Art Bell from its inception in 1988 until 2003, and is currently hosted by George Noory. The program is distributed by Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of iHeartMedia, both as part of its talk network and separately as a syndicated program. The program now airs seven nights a week from 1:00–5:00 a.m. ET. It airs on over 600 affiliates, and has repeatedly been called the most popular overnight show in the country.

History

In 1978, Art Bell created and hosted West Coast AM, a late-night political talk/call-in show on Las Vegas radio station KDWN. In 1988, Bell and Alan Corberth renamed the show Coast to Coast AM and moved its studios from the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas to Bell's home in Pahrump. After Bell's retirement, the show was hosted by various personalities, including Mike Siegel, George Noory, and others.

At its peak, Coast to Coast AM under Bell was syndicated by Premiere Radio Network, and aired on more than 500 radio stations and boasted a weekly listening audience in excess of 10 million listeners. Since 2013 the weekly listener numbers have declined to 2.5 million. According to estimates by Talkers Magazine, Coast to Coast AM has a cumulative weekly audience of around 2.75 million unique listeners listening for at least five minutes, making it the most listened-to program in its time slot. By 2010 the program was known as by far the most popular overnight show in the country, echoed by The New York Times in 2017, citing Nielsen ratings.

The show is estimated to be carried by over 600 US affiliates, along with a limited number of FM stations, as well as many Canadian affiliates, several of which stream the show on their station's website. The affiliate group is fronted by 12 clear-channel stations, among them WBT in Charlotte, WHO in Des Moines, WWL in New Orleans, WOR in New York City, KFBK in Sacramento, KFI in Los Angeles, and WTAM in Cleveland. The show is also carried by Sirius XM Radio, on its Road Dog Trucking channel 146.

Criticism

Scholars have criticized Coast to Coast AM for promoting pseudohistoric and pseudoscientific ideas. Historian Ronald H. Fritze characterized the show as an "especially influential example" of the trend in modern media to disseminate false history and fake science.

According to State University of New York (SUNY) professor Paul Arras, early shows hosted by Art Bell featured guests that were frequently pseudoscientists, but "regardless of their reputation, all guests are presented as experts." According to Arras "Bell seems to believe much of what even his wildest guests say". Boston College professor Michael C. Keith noted a "characteristic of distrust and fear that is a part of the text of Coast to Coast —fear of the unknown, fear of invasion, fear of being taken over by some kind of evil force".

Religious Studies lecturer David G. Robertson observed that "sweeping conspiratorial revisionist histories and ancient alien narratives" are a frequent feature of the show. Nolan Higdon of California State University, East Bay speculated that programs like Coast to Coast AM that "propagate unsubstantiated claims" were "potentially dangerous".

According to The Atlantic senior editor Timothy Lavin, host George Noory "lets clearly delusional or pseudoscientific assertions slide by without challenge". Lavin wrote that "Coast to Coast AM has perfected a charged and conspiratorial worldview that now pervades American media".

In 1998, the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry awarded show host Art Bell their mocking "Snuffed Candle Award", citing his work "for encouraging credulity, presenting pseudoscience as genuine, and contributing to the public's lack of understanding of the methods of scientific inquiry". CSI fellow Joe Nickell has appeared on the show occasionally as "a voice of skepticism", saying his goal was to explain and demystify the "bizarre topics 'Coast to Coast' deals with" such as Bigfoot and ghosts.

Hosts

Art Bell

Main article: Art Bell

Bell was the original host of the show, starting in 1988. He announced his retirement in 2000, but would return as show host, retire, and return again a number of times. Bell died in April 2018.

Mike Siegel

Main article: Mike Siegel

Mike Siegel hosted the show from April 2000 until February 2001. He became a frequent substitute for Bell in late 1999, and when Bell announced his retirement in early 2000, he recommended Siegel to succeed him. Siegel maintained the format of the show that Bell had created, but his personal style was very different, and the show became less popular. Siegel hosted the show from Seattle, Washington, where he lived. Early in 2001, Bell decided to return, and Siegel left the show.

Ian Punnett

Main article: Ian Punnett

Ian Punnett hosted the show sporadically, as either guest host or main host, between 1998 and 2012, and from 2018 to 2023. Punnett died in December of 2023.

John B. Wells

Main article: John B. Wells

In January 2012, John B. Wells replaced Punnett as host of the Saturday evening and the second Sunday evening programs.

George Noory

Main article: George Noory

George Noory first took over show hosting duties in 2003 as a replacement for Bell, but was temporarily discontinued after Bell returned citing disagreements with Noory. After Bell's death in April 2018, Noory said that the two were "not that close" personally and that there were major differences in their approaches. Despite this, Noory said that Bell was "instrumental in me being where I am right now." Noory currently hosts the show on weeknights and on the first Sunday of every month.

George Knapp

Main article: George Knapp (journalist)

George Knapp joined the show in 2007 and is currently hosting every third and fourth Sundays of every month.

Others

Guest hosts have included Hilly Rose, Barbara Simpson, Rollye James, Dave Schrader, Connie Willis, Lisa Garr, Richard Syrett, Rob Simone and Jimmy Church.

Guests

The show featured a number of guests, some recurring.

Associated shows

Several shows associated with Coast to Coast AM have aired in the slot immediately preceding the late Saturday night edition of the program, from 6–10 p.m. Pacific Time.

Dreamland

Dreamland was another Art Bell creation, nearly identical to Coast to Coast AM but less caller driven. Bell recorded Dreamland on Friday afternoons where the show streamed live over the Internet and listeners could call in towards the end of the show. The show then aired at various times on different stations during the weekend, but doing eight shows a week got to be too much and he handed over control of the show to Whitley Strieber. Many affiliates aired the show before Coast to Coast AM on Sunday nights, but Premiere Radio pre-empted that time spot after it began to syndicate Matt Drudge, and then dropped the program entirely.

Coast to Coast Live

Upon Art Bell's January 2006 return, Ian Punnett hosted Coast to Coast Live on Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern Time. A spin-off of the original Coast to Coast AM, the show covered similar topics as its flagship program. With Bell's July 2007 retirement, Coast to Coast Live was discontinued, with Punnett returning to host the regular Saturday edition.

Art Bell, Somewhere in Time

Replacing Coast to Coast Live in the late Saturday time slot is a series of reruns of classic Art Bell episodes of Coast to Coast AM, airing under the title Somewhere in Time.

Midnight in the Desert

Midnight in the Desert was a live radio and podcast which Art Bell founded. The program was later hosted by Heather Wade and then by Dave Schrader.
