Coast to Coast AM is a late night radio talk show that tackles topics no one else will touch. In Los Angeles, it can be found on KFI 640 AM nightly at 10:00 pm - 2:00 am. It then partially repeats through till morning with one fascinating topic after another.
The host George Noory -- thought by many to SUCK after supplanting Art Bell or to be a government plant, patsy, or superpatriot -- may be many things. But he is also a smooth-talking announcer who seems to care less about the great topics than not stirring up controversy on the most controversial and conspiratorial show to regularly hit the air.
Not every market has has a station that carries the syndicated version of Coast to Coast. Only about 550 markets do. And of those who have it available, not everyone can stay up for the program. And not everyone wants to have to pay for a Streamlink subscription. But there's a FREE way to listen throughout the day. Listen free online during the program.
