ART BELL
Name: Arthur W. Bell, III
Born: 17 June 1945 (age 62)
Arthur W. "Art" Bell, III (born June 17, 1945) is an American broadcaster and
author, known primarily as the founder and longtime host of the paranormal-themed
radio program Coast to Coast AM. He also created and formerly hosted its
companion show, Dreamland. Semi-retired from Coast to Coast AM since 2003, he
hosted the show on many weekends for the next four years. He announced his
retirement from weekend hosting on July 1, 2007, effective immediately, but now
'guest hosts' occasionally. He attributed the reason for this latest retirement
to a desire to spend time with his wife and new daughter, born May 30, 2007. He
added that unlike his previous "retirements," this one will stand, while leaving
open the option to return.
Bell also owns a Pahrump, Nevada-based radio station, KNYE 95.1 FM ("The Kingdom
of Nye ... Things That Go Pahrump In The Night"). He broadcasted from his home
in Pahrump for his entire time as host of Coast to Coast AM except from June
2006 to December 2006, when he lived in the Philippines.
