Radio host Art Bell announces retirement
Oct. 25, 2002

LAS VEGAS -- Radio talk show host Art Bell, whose overnight talk of UFO
sightings and conspiracy theories made him famous, has announced his
retirement. Bell, 57, said on Wednesday night's show that he will retire
because of ongoing back problems. Regular guest host George Noory will
replace Bell on Jan. 1. Barbara Simpson will host on weekends. "Coast to
Coast AM" will continue its current broadcast schedule until Dec. 31. Bell
hosts three nights a week, Noory hosts three nights and Simpson one night.
Bell, who broadcasts from his home studio in Pahrump, 60 miles west of Las
Vegas, plans to be an occasional guest host for Noory. "Coast to Coast AM"
airs on 525 stations nationwide over the Premiere Radio Networks Inc., a
subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications. The show deals in arcane
mysteries, alien abductions and all things unexplained. Bell, who created
the show in 1993, had resigned in April 2000 because of ongoing torment he
said his family had suffered since his son was kidnapped and raped in 1997
by a substitute teacher. He also said he left because he was falsely accused
of being a child molester. The teacher, Brian Lepley, 37, was convicted and
sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison for the assault. Bell returned to the
air in February 2001, saying his family and legal issues had been resolved.
