Art Bell Tribute in Nye County

[Debi]

A plaque and bench have been installed in memory of Art Bell, a long-time Pahrump resident and radio personality who passed away April 13, 2018 at age 72.

A member of the National Radio Hall of Fame and the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, Bell is best known for his paranormal-based radio show Coast to Coast AM. He also was the founder and original owner of KNYE 95.1 FM in 1999, which still operates today.

The bench and plaque were paid for by Friends and Fans of Art Bell with a contribution from the county including installation of the bench and plaque.

We started our journey as an Art Bell site. I thought it fitting to put this here in memory of a man who brought magic to the radio.

I thought they could have mounted the plaque on the seat.

I see it as a bit more dignified to not be sitting on his picture.

Having his head on a pike is a bit weird too lol. Oh well it’s the thought that counts.
