From wikipedia :

Criticism of declining quality, and declining ratings under George Noory. Art Bell stated that the decision to come out of retirement was entirely his, a response to the direction that George Noory has taken the show—closer to political talk radio rather than the open-minded exploration of the supernatural that defined Bell's tenure as host. Noory, Bell says, has "ruined" the franchise of Coast to Coast AM.[4][/url] Bell has publicly stated on his Facebook that he no longer wishes to be associated with Coast to Coast AM. There are also internet forums which have sprung up that are overwhelmingly critical of Noory hosting Coast to Coast. AM.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_to_Coast_AM#cite_note-5][5]The Commonsense show has described Noory-led Coast to Coast by the following:
[quote888]When Art Bell relinquished control of his program to corporate interests, Premiere and ultimately Clear Channel, Coast to Coast AM was never the same, as the show took a turn and became reflective of “the corporate message”. Noory’s listening numbers are nothing to write home about. Bell has an estimated 6-12 million listeners on any given night. In contrast, Noory’s numbers are a paltry 275,000 to 300,000 listeners per night. George Noory is the perfect front man, with little hands-on control of the show, and his numbers take on a secondary level of importance as he is very good at protecting the corporate turf while being very careful to only take risks on subjects that the corporate sponsors do not care about (e.g. crystal skulls, near death experiences, psychic mediums, etc.). Gone are the former days of Art Bell’s hard-hitting journalism.—[6][/quote888]
The ratings of Coast to Coast AM under Noory have fallen to only 3.25 million listeners per week. Coast to Coast AM previously boasted a weekly listening audience in excess of 10 million listeners

I was sent an email that said the following :

  " Just checked talkers. Ratings are down for Noory again. C2C is a sinking ship. down to 2.75 millions. Was 4.25 in 2007, 12 million under Art. Noory HAS to try to do something different. What he is trying isn't working. "

Overpaid and overpriced. Even a  amateur with no radio experience could probably do better than $noory.
