Art Bell returns on Sat/Sun Nights

Art Bell returned to the airwaves Sunday night/Monday Morning for the first time since his wife, Ramona, died unexpectedly two weeks ago. Bell, spoke in detail about his wife of fifteen years and her constant bout with asthma, which ultimately took her life while on a road trip to Laughlin, NV. in their RV.

Bell, while describing his grief and loneliness, announced that he would be spending more time on the air as a way to keep busy. Beginning next week Bell will be resuming broadcasting on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Bell, who does his radio show all by himself in the environs of his home in Pahrump, NV, was interviewing scientist Michio Kaku during the second hour, when an alarm when off in another part of his house. Bell had to turn the show over to his guest while he took care of the alarm. It turned out to be the local police who were responding to a caller who reported to them that Bell was having difficulty coping with his grief and may be in danger of committing suicide. Bell reassured the police and his audience that he was doing well and wasn't in any danger of losing it.

It was live radio at its best. Everyone in the vast family of Talk Radio welcomes Art back to the airwaves and hopes that he will be comforted in the premature loss of his wife.
