*Rebecca Strom, the KRON morning weather and traffic reporter is leaving. She's expecting her second child and won't be returning to the station, I'm told by a station source.
I don't know if her pregnancy is the chief reason why she's leaving permanently but hey, at least she has her priorities right.
*Steve Aveson's last day is April 21st.

| Art Bell |
He'd been battling a medical issue for sometime and was reclusive in his later years.
so sorry to lose the great Art Bell! a true legend who kept millions glued to their AM radios back in the day yet it seemed that he was talking to each of us personally. he will always be in our best radio memories...but knowing Art, he might start broadcasting to us from the Other Side! :)
ReplyDeleteArt Bell was a Master Story Weaver. There was no one better.
ReplyDeleteStrom is an example of why, when given a choice between an equally qualified man and woman, I'll hire the man. Women always get pregnant and quit.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Rebecca. She's a sweetheart
ReplyDeleteThe problem with the Bell show is that the tinfoil always seemed to interfere with the signal.
ReplyDeleteart bell goes on Friday the 13 th of course. aappropriate for the subject matter he covered. superstition comes true on the Art Bell Show.his final show was about ''ghost to ghost Friday the 13 th''. you couldn't make this stuff up.
ReplyDeleteCovay picks up a middle eastern passenger . covay says ''yeah , I work for KNBR'', the ''middle eastern''guy say '' Ah, that's that new falafel place , right?? ( kayen beyar!)''
ReplyDeletePhil Hendrie's Art Bell bits were dead on both in creation and content. Broadcasting from his bunker complex 500 ft below the Saskatchewan tundra usually with a visit from Johnson Jameson, the scientist drummed out of NASA because he "knew too much.". East of the Rockies..Abba or Gloria Gaynor bumper music..Great radio.
ReplyDeleteYep, Phil Hendrie impersonating Art Bell was some of the funniest bits every,,,Piedmond Enterprises Butte Cover

DeleteYou cannot spell STORM without STROM!!!!
ReplyDeleteRIP Art Bell, one of the greats.
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea Art Bell had died unti I read it here. Very sad. I could not go to sleep each night in college and after, without him on my radio. George Noory is a few tacos short of a combination plate, and has never been an adequate replacement. Art always asked good questions and challenged his guests more outlandish claims. Noory does neither. Art was always entertaining. He had a lot of weird drama even into his later years, but none of that matters compared to the enjoyment we got from listening. Good solid radio!
