Back in the 1960's I remember hearing Curtis Howe Springer on XEMO 860. He 
broadcast from Zzyzx Mineral Springs resort, Mojave Desert. He would talk for a 
while then bring on the girls to sing some gospel music. Sometimes you could 
hear the record needle scraping the record as he try to find the beginning of 
the song.  Best regards,

To be quite honest, Les, this is nothing new.  Back when Art Bell hosted the 
program, he used to do reads for a product called Dr. Duplisky's Super Prostate 
Formula.  I would listen to one of these and think that it all sounded like a 
lot of hooey.

Now, I'm too young to remember this (I'm 51 and didn't start DXing until 1981), 
but I've heard stories about how, back in the 1950s and 1960s, the border 
blasters like XERF would run ads for doctors that were only slightly less shady 
than snake oil salesmen.  Supposedly they would hawk things like goat gland 
operations that were designed to spice up your sex life, or some such.  Makes 
me think that maybe all-night radio hasn't changed much through the years, 
after all.

Tom,

George Noory is one of the regulars on a show called “Ancient Aliens” that has 
been on for several seasons now. He also is a frequent interview subject for 
various documentaries that focus on things like bigfoot, UFO’s, etc. 

I think anyone is free to parlay their talents and abilities into financial 
success, but it should not come at the expense of old, sick people looking for 
hope for a miracle cure. How does he manage to sleep at night, er…during the 
day? He should have respect for his listeners. After all, it is only because of 
him that he has the job, and the success.

You ought to see our local cable TV news channel (News 12 NJ). You'll see three 
and sometimes four different ads for car dealerships in the same cluster.

And some clusters start and finish with the same commercial. But those sponsors 
pay for that specific placement.

Just the evolution of the media...

George Noory must think that if he can ...


with due respect ... I doubt George has enough intelligence to realize the 
harm he is causing. I'm surprised he can even put on his own pants and find 
his way to the station each night.

Re: [IRCA] Coast To Coast AM, George Noory, and Criticalhealthnews.com

[Rick Lewis]

Hi Les,
We all make our own decisions, but I do wonder if it's a bit extreme to 
penalize a radio company because it buys advertising on the same program as a 
product that you consider questionable.
Would you stop drinking coffee or wearing Levi's if they sponsored the same 
show? (Fill in one of your favorite things if these don't apply.)
Essentially, though, I agree with you. It's a shame that radio obtains revenue 
from such products.
I'd also count the nonpeak-hours paid programming on radio and TV, touting 
questionable cures and investment strategies.
True, border blasters hyped everything from goat gland remedies to pieces of 
prayer cloth purportedly worn by Jesus, but in my admittedly much younger days 
in radio, most U.S. stations took responsibility for what they aired.
Granted, they couldn't guarantee that their listeners would like drinking root 
beer, but they wouldn't run root beer ads if the manufacturers said it would 
cure cancer.
I'm not saying that no garbage was advertised in the past; that would be 
nonsense.
But I do think the standards were generally much higher.
As a side thought, it bothers me that competing ads are placed in the same set, 
as well as repeated ads for the same product.
That wouldn't have deliberately happened at the stations I worked for in the 
70s and most of the 80s.
In my view, this reflects laziness and lack of integrity, and it rips off 
advertisers.
On the other hand, radio isn't the go-to place for entertainment that it once 
was, and maybe the conditions that existed in the past wouldn't work in today's 
marketplace.

Rick,

You’re quite right. I am old enough to remember the border blasters, and the 
miracle cures they hocked. 

What I do think is different is that even people like Wolfman Jack had trouble 
making a living back in those days as on on-air personality. But George Noory 
has a lucrative career on television, as a paid speaker at conferences, and 
even a stake in an on-line dating service. It’s hard to imagine that he’s 
having trouble paying the bills. 

Given that it was all built not on his own talents, but rather that of Art 
Bell, I don’t find him a sympathetic figure. He’s preying on the weakness of an 
older audience, who trust him. He should be deeply ashamed of his actions. 

I won’t be listening to the show, or buying products from it’s sponsors in the 
future. Sadly, this includes CC Crane Company, who I’ve bought a number of 
products from over the years.

To be quite honest, Les, this is nothing new.  Back when Art Bell hosted the

Formula.  I would listen to one of these and think that it all sounded like a

Re: [IRCA] Coast to Coast AM, George Noory, and Criticalhealthnews.com

[Les Rayburn]

Walt,

We are contractors for federal law enforcement agencies, and do a lot of fraud 
prevention work. We’ve personally interviewed hundreds of victims of scams like 
this, and it’s heartbreaking to see the impacts. 

This morning, I reached out to a friend who is an agent with the FDA’s Office 
of Criminal Investigations. While he too was horrified at the blatant nature of 
this company, he said there was little FDA could do. They basically wait for 
the U.S. Attorney’s office to flag companies like this for investigation. There 
are so many of them that it’s impossible to investigate them all—the resources 
simply are not there. 

It mirrors the FCC in many aspects. When I was a young ham, and later 
broadcaster, we lived in fear (or at least a healthy respect for) the agency. 
Enforcement was swift, and compliance was seen as a solemn duty to the license 
holder. Nowadays, the FCC has become a paper tiger, and the bands reflect this. 
You can hear conversations on 75 Meter phone every night of the week that would 
not have been tolerated on Citizens Band in the 1970’s. 

I just don’t know how people live with themselves. I just George Noory must 
think that if he can talk for hours about ghosts, bigfoots, and UFO’s, then why 
not miracle cures. Some people just think that if people are determined to be 
cullible, then why not take advantage of them? Art Bell was a kook, but at 
least he treated his audience with respect. 

Maybe I’m just getting old. At 54, I thought I had a few more years before I’d 
find myself shouting at the neighbor kids to stay off my lawn..but maybe my 
time has come early. 

Hang in there Walt. Good DX.

CFAX 1070 runs this network rubbish as well and it astounds me that someone
can come on, call themselves
a doctor and tout a single cure for all cancers with all kinds of wildly
bogus claims about "factual human physiology"
that is generally patently false, filled with references to snake oils.

Hard to believe we are in the 21st Century sometimes.

Les, as a physician, I wholeheartedly agree with you.  We see the same in
Canada.  Anyone can claim anything, and people are eager to lap it up and
pay the big bucks for essentially useless, and sometimes dangerous
supplements.  But that's another, non-radio related topic!   73,...Walt

[IRCA] Coast to Coast AM, George Noory, and Criticalhealthnews.com

[Les Rayburn]

I’m not a lawyer, nor an expert in what constitutes fraud. But after listening 
to the all-too frequent informercials currently airing on Coast to Coast for 
Critical Heath News.com, I can’t help but wonder why the FDA hasn’t already 
brought charges against not on the sponsor, but also IHeartRadio, and the 
show’s producers. 

For over two hours, Dr. Joel Wallach dispensed medical advice, and prescribed a 
variety of his supplements to treat, prevent, or cure the various aliments. 

Talk about a lack of government oversight and regulation!

George Noory needs to be ashamed of himself for going along with this.
