I make fun of Coast to Coast AM with George Noory a lot. A LOT. In case you don’t know the show, here is their own description:
Coast to Coast AM airs on more than 600 stations in the U.S., as well as Canada, Mexico and Guam, and is heard by nearly three million weekly listeners. With hosts George Noory, George Knapp (weekend), and guest weekend hosts, it is the most listened to overnight radio program in North America. A media phenomenon, Coast to Coast AM deals with UFOs, strange occurrences, life after death, and other unexplained (and often inexplicable) phenomena. Coast to Coast AM is overnight talk radio with daytime ratings.
What that leaves out is that it is not nearly as popular or respected as it was under Art Bell, who created it. It also leaves out that under George Noory the show has become a joke. You’ll see why soon.
Art Bell was a critical questioner and listener. He had as guests experts in major scientific fields as well as those involved in fringe paranormal research. But no matter who he had on, he asked probing and intelligent questions and did not let anyone who made outrageous claims go unchallenged. George is just the opposite. Not only is he himself ill-informed about most of the topics he addresses, he rarely asks follow up questions and never, ever challenges a guest about anything said. Even callers with ridiculous claims are given a “gosh, wow!” by George. Ghost of Hitler got off a UFO and had a picnic with Bigfoot on your front lawn while you danced with pixies and made sandwiches? “That sounds like some afternoon. Do you think they chose you intentionally or do you live in a UFO hot spot?”
The big issue is that George is totally uncritical and unquestioning. He is open to anything and will never, ever say a negative word about anything or anyone.
I debunked a UFO claim on their Facebook page the other day.
I’m not an expert on UFOs. I’m just a guy with an interest in things who has read some books. Surely the host of Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, a “media phenomemon” who has been delving into the mysteries of the paranormal for 13 years, would be more knowledgeable than me. Surely someone on his staff would do some research on an alleged UFO photo before posting it on their website. Surely they wouldn’t be powned by a noob like me, right?
Nah, that’s giving them too much credit. No one checks anything. No one bothers. They put anything out there no matter how fake or stupid. (And you should really see some of the stupid stuff on their page.) I saw that photo and immediately knew it was fake. I recognized that UFO from one of the most famous pictures in all of UFOlogy. It is lifted from one of the McMinnville, Oregon photos from 1950.
Not just a similar object, but the same exact photo. Same lighting. Same silhouette. Same everything except that the doctored photo is so badly done it is a lot blurrier. (To be fair, some of that blurriness came when I enlarged it. Go to their page for the original.) I saw their post, recognized the photo, googled “UFO over farm house” and found that picture in under 20 seconds. The giveaway that it is the exact image is the way the light- and possibly the grain of the photo- makes the left top edge of the object appear to be pointed. Look closely in the Facebook post, it’s there too. I didn’t need any computer skills, I used my own two eyes!
And if you think that it looks like something hanging from a wire, that’s the common claim of debunkers.
That picture dates back to 1950. It is over 65 years old and has been reprinted in books all over the world since then, not to mention the internet. But did the “media phenomenon” recognize it? Nope, no one even bothered to look into it for a second. It took me to discover that it was a doctored picture? Way to go George Noory.

He doesn’t want to be challenged because he really knows very little about the topics on the show. He does know about the bible, I’ll give him that, but that’s it. Yet when, some months back, he had a pair of guests whose views and interpretations of the bible disagreed with his, rather than discuss or debate them, he just went to commercial and came back without them, claiming they had to rush off. He had a lot to say after they were off the phone but little when he had them on.

I went with Dave Schrader; M.I.T.D. who is an excellent host!!! Mr. Noory will be in the middle of a very interesting point with a guest, when the break comes, and then he never follows up with it once back from break. That is SO annoying!!!! Many times he doesn’t seem to be listening to what he is being told. He had this really nice woman on talking about reincarnation involving what children tell us. He said to her “do you have much of a problem with the parents who don’t believe in reincarnation?” She had to remind him twice that parents who DON’T accept reincarnation AREN’T a part of the group… duh. Twice she had to mention that. I can’t sit through any more of this irritating stupidity. I LOVE Ian Punnit, George Knapp, Jimmy Church, ect., but I’m much too tired of George Noory to stay with C2C.

Just listened to Ghost-to-Ghost. Used to be one of the best shows of the year, back in the day.
Today, the first hour, which actually was the second hour because the first was news based, was some lady talking about haunting but it wasn’t really ghost stories.
Then, we got an 90 minutes of calls — which I am not sure Noory even listened too — before Boring George read us an Edgar Allen Poe story I’ve never heard of, well I’ve heard of it on C2C because he reads it every year., to close out the final 30 minutes of the show.
Always been a night person, worked the night shift in the newspaper industry for many years, and got hooked on C2C during Art’s glory days.
Ever since then, it’s more and more become nothing more than background noise.
The opening guest is usually hawking a “medicinal” remediy that will probably kill you more than help you.
The first 10 minutes of every hour is news and commercials and you get 10 more minutes of that at the bottom of the hour along with an infomercial sandwiched somewhere in between.
I don’t want to date a paranormal enthusiast and I definitely don’t want to go listen to George sing.
The show is much better on the weekends with the guest hosts.
Other than that, it’s nothing more than background noise.
LikeLike
You’ve summed it up really well. When they shifted away from 4 hours shows with one guest, George said it was what the listeners wanted. The truth was clearly and obviously that George is incapable of doing a long-from interview with anyone, let alone anyone interesting. As for the first hour “medicinal” guests, that is clearly an infomercial and I am positive that money changes hands somewhere. That George is involved is painfully clear simply from the “Norrybeets” website. His name is in the address of the product he is selling! However, George may influence the choice of guests, but he does not own or run the show. Someone else higher than him has to be making money too or else the quacks would not be on week after week. I truly think the FCC needs to look into this. It is misleading, if not dishonest.

So it looks like I have to be the conspiracy guy once again but, since it seems to me that the majority of C2C listeners have the same opinion about this idiot, and continue to voice those opinions to the radio station itself or on different social media websites, why havnt they done anything about it? I mean seriously it seems like everyone hates this guy and they love to talk about it too. So why not fire him? A possible theory I have is that whoever started/ran C2C and was in control of choosing the type of content and direction the show went, isn’t around anymore. And whoever took over did so with a purpose, or an agenda perhaps? This show gained a huge following with Art, and no doubt helped wake a lot of people up. My theory is whoever now controls the content and chooses the hosts of the show etc. is one of the “bad guys.” They don’t want to wake anymore people up so they have Noory butcher interviews looking half asleep, and while they’re at it they can also start to mislead all of the diehard followers the show gained during the “Art Bell era” by bringing on kooks.

As well as editing out pointless stuff that has nothing to do with the topic.
If i’m up for it i’ll delete a further 10min. by removing a lot of extranuous talk from the guest along with silent gaps that may last from 1/2 to 1.5+ seconds long depending on the cadence of the speaker.

John B. WeLLs really is the true host for this show. His astute questions an very minimal intrusions is what made him a favorite.
According to Noory Alex Jones is a good friend of his and they hang out together when ever at restaurants. This shows me how naive Noory is. Jones has been known to backstab people for the smallest things. So many of his ex-mployees are speaking out against him. And oh yeah bomb-bomb Iran seems to be his thinking now with his some of his anti-Iran guests.
Not to disparage the man because he does do good shows as well, the problem lies in consistency and not being so double sided.

I’ve been a C2C listener for several years. Just caught the tail end of Art Bell before Ramona died + he went off. To the present .. listening to George Noory the past couple of yrs approx.has become almost unbearable. Why do I still listen ? Mostly for the guest hosts (Richard Syrett’s my favorite) + for the occasional good topics. Just to give one small example of his dumb questions, etc getting worse – the other night the topic was on the Bible + prophecy. I cannot remember the exact details but the guest was speaking about a judgment God gave in the Old Testament that caused a great catastrophe. In my opinion, Anyone with sny Catholic or Protestant background at all (he made clear he was raised Roman Catholic) Or -Any imagination at all could understand what happened + why from a religious standpoint, but Mr. Noory in that Incredulous ‘shocked’ childlike voice says ” WHY?
Would God Do That ???!!!” I was embarrassed for him..+ he is almost always saying things like this. Or, interrupting guests constantly, pretending to be interested in a topic + not convincing at all. But my last ‘beef’ that REALLY drives me up a wall about him is that, it is bad enough the huge amount of commercial breaks the show now has, (about 10 mins program to 20 mins + ads) But -Mr. Noory is doing an Increasing + disturbing amount of commercials himself !! Does this man Not make enough money?? Besides that..It is Sooo far removed from what the ORIGINAL COAST was all about !! It was Once a cutting edge, bucking the establishment program about ‘Alternative’ subjects. Now he is revealing himself as a self-centered, materialistic , inept host. PLEASE bring back a REAL C2C Host !!

You’re right on target Rebecca. I think the Judgement was the plagues on the Egyptians in Moses time or the story of the city that burnt to a total crisp because of the
S I N s in SOdOm & GamoRRa. Why would =G O D= do that??? hmmm, let me guess……..
Secondly i can tell you accurately how long them commercial breaks are:
At the bottom of the hour from 1:29am (Eastern time) to (varies) 1:40, 1:42 and as long as 1:44am (that last one is rare). So the average is about 12 to 13 minutes.
At the top of the hour 1:57am to 2:10 to 2:13, (even L O N G E R) averaging about 14 to 15 minutes of commercials of Noory admiring himself in his own reflection.
SO in total for the 1st hour you get 26 to 28 minutes of commercials.
As i have mentioned in another post here, if i am up to it, i will use AUDACITY editing program and i will cut out an additional 10 minutes out. Even further if my brain is able, because of the tedious nature of editing, i will cut out a further 7 to 10 minutes. It varies. The shortest i was able to edit was to about 18 to 21 minutes from the 2 hours (topic #1 or 2) believe it or not. Many techniques are used such as speeding up the tempo & speed without compromising the voice pitch etc. This i can tell you about voice editing, you can hear the flaws in speech, cadence in anyone guest. Some guests are awesome in how they speak very smooth, very clear, very precise, getting to the point. Others meander, wander off, studder, perhaps touches of a slight aneurysm. Where Noory falls in that category, i won’t say lol. But one can tell that at times his voice gets nervous once in a while but that’s ok. At times he’s likeable, he will ask a brilliant question and then falls off the horse the next. At other times he acts like a teen ager saying silly crap like you’ve outlined. I share you’re frustration Rebecca.
Noory, Retire! Go away. Swim off into the Apokaliptic sunset, will yah? 20 years is ENUFF’ on C2C.

I stopped listening to Coast-to-Coast during the 2016 election (Noory had some leftist commentator as a guest several times) and after John B. Wells was suddenly and unceremoniously let go. I emailed Noory about this, and he was combative and dismissive. I told him he’d lost me as a listener, and he never responded.

Hmmm, do you have a name(s) for those leftist guest? I can’t recall that at all. I know he brings on Jer0Me KerseY on his anti-Iran rants quite a lot. In any case Noory does many good shows, controversial at times & other times other shows are complete looney toones such as the remote viewers that can’t seem to predict a whole much of anything. Otherwise serious crimes would be pre-emped all the time such as in that sci-fi movie with Tommy Cruise.
Thanks.

He is so busy with infomercials, filling his pockets, it is just ridiculous, it is so obvious
His heart is not in the right place either, the smallest amount of criticism he will cut you off very sensitive about his image.
I miss John B Wells, he took you to another level, which Noory really does not have that ability, he just does not have it in him, maybe he should be doing infomercials fulltime, and let us enjoy quality content midnight radio without him.

I pretty much agree with you, but as to the infomercials, it goes higher than Noory. He has a lot of say in the guests but he doesn’t book them (that’s obvious given how little he seems to know about many of them) and for these constant infomercials there must be someone higher up at the network getting a slice too. Why else would his bosses put up with them? Noory keeps his job not because of any talent he might have but because he is a good company man and a good face for Premier Networks.
And yes, he is filling his pockets. His name is in the url for noorybeets.com! And his face is all over the place on that site. Think he doesn’t have a thick cut of that? Or a slice of carnivora?

You are told that you can “email George at anytime” only to find out that you have to join the club, which costs money to do, in able to “email George at any time”. The show has gone down hill recently and has lost all credibility for me. It’s nothing more than LOST IN SPACE meets THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

Coast to coast am with George Noory is a broadcast to the people in mental institutions who call and report their own delusions that for which they are being therapeutically treated for.
They imagine their orderlies are big foot, or there are 13 foot praying mantis looking aliens hiding behind the curtain in their padded rooms. Well they’re floating above their bed outside their bodies well seeing shadow people in the corner corner of their eyes. Waiting on aliens from other worlds to take them on vacation. And George noory spend four hours a night patronizing them. Utter nonsense! A waste of air time.

For years Coast to Coast had a policy that callers could only be on the show for maybe twice a month. Now there are the same people calling in every night !
I believe their listeners calling in have drastically dropped over the years and they have to keep bringing on the same people every night to have any callers at all.
I loved to listen when John B. Wells was on the show, then suddenly he was gone! I had heard rumors that he had a higher listener ship than Noory.
You can count there will be a show about vitamins & supplements every week.
And George’s bumper music….Most of it is something my parents would have listened to, a lot of the old Crooners.
And his obsession with “Psychic Vampires”.
I can at least count on a decent show when George Knapp is the host.

I used to listen to Coast, but in 2016 things changed when the show got more political. The firing of John B. Wells also bothered me. I’m also bothered by the move to more occult themed guests and topics. I stopped listening about 5 years ago.
