Is this finally the return of Art Bell? Perhaps it is, but on a very limited ongoing basis.
Even back in the mid or late 1990s, AB should have had a copilot or alternate host. That would have made it so much easier for AB whenever he was unable to host his show.

Producer, Heather Wade really has been doing a good job hosting the show during Art's absence.

Whether AB can eventually host the show a few times a week or just a few times a month, a lot of people are just happy that AB can still occasionally do some new shows again.

The Dark Matter Digital Network is still operating and will run the same programs it has been, if they want to stay, and still for FREE. The only change are some programs will not be LIVE, just pre-recorded. If Art does come back in any capacity, it would be on DMDN.
Midnight in the Desert will continue with Heather Wade as host for now, and will leave the chair open for Art to guest host or maybe even return periodically.

It would be nice if AB could be on othersideofmidnight.com with RCH sometime. Of course, it would also be nice if RCH could be a guest on midnightinthedesert.com
