When the article talks about "clear channel", does it mean Clear Channel Communications? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:44, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Yes, indeed that is the meaning for Clear Channel. Ap William ( talk) 06:57, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Did some cleanup of sections and redundancies. Since the article has been largely curated over the years by fans, it contains a lot of unselected and unverified WP:TRIVIA. Cutting down the "Guests" section to a reasonable number of examples would be a further improvement. - LuckyLouie ( talk) 17:12, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
The article is not quite correct on allowing/not allowing callers to predict the President would be assassinated/die in office.
When Art Bell was the host, he did not allow it. He likely allowed it initially as he mentioned that he was contacted by the Secret Service over it.
When George Noory took over as the host, it seems he did not allow it when George W. Bush was President, but had no problem for several years with people predicting Obama would be assassinated. Towards the end of Obama's time in office, Noory reinstituted the ban.

Regarding recent edit comments, e.g.
adding "most popular overnight show in the country" to lead, as The Atlantic also verifies this. Funny how this was omitted
, I don't think it was intentionally left out. If anything, 10-15 year old program ratings/accolades should probably be presented in a more historical context rather than showcased in the lead. Also, we shouldn't be giving program directory info to the reader such as The program now airs seven nights a week from 1:00 a.m. – 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time Zone
