http://chud.com/nextraimages/progblank.JPGI caught Ed Wood on IFC a few weeks back (I know, why is that on IFC? Because it’s in black and white, I think) and I was enjoying Criswell. I was thinking to myself that there aren’t enough Prognosticators anymore – and that’s not just an inside joke about how late the new Prognosticator column is ALL BECAUSE OF ME AND MY LAZINESS. I used to buy all the trashy magazines when they had predictions in them from Jeane Dixon and the like, and I would always promise myself that I would keep the predictions and check to see how many hits they got at the end of the year. Of course I never did.

Tonight I will have a chance to watch some good old fashioned future-seein’, as George Noory – the guy who took over for Art Bell – will have a pay per view event featuring psychics making predictions for the year 2006. Sounds like a lot of fun, and just ten bucks. Here are all the details:

LOS ANGELES – George Noory, host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show, “Coast to Coast AM,” will have his first television special, “Predictions with George Noory,” premiere on EVENTS IN DEMAND Pay-Per-View on Thursday, January 12, 2006 at 9 p.m. EST.

“Predictions with George Noory” features leading psychics and futurists whom make predictions for the New Year and well into the future. George’s guests include Sean David Morton, Ed “Dr. Doom” Dames, Hans Christian King, Dr. Louis Turi – “the modern day Nostradamus” – Stan Deyo, Dr. Art Rosengaren, Joseph Jacobs and Glynis McCants – “the Numbers Lady.”

The expert predictors range from futurists, psychics and tarot card readers to remote viewers, mediums and numerologists. They all have made incredibly accurate predictions in the past, foretelling earthquakes, tsunamis, presidential elections, and many other major events. They tell us what is in store for us in 2006 and what we can we all do to prepare ourselves for a life-changing year.

“Not only have I wanted to augment our international radio show with television, but I have been fascinated with the predictions of many of our outstanding guests,” said George Noory. “This wonderful opportunity affords me the chance to do both and inform a vast audience."

“Predictions with George Noory” is priced at $9.95. Ordering information and the broadcast repeat schedule can be found at www.predictions.tv and www.indemand.com.

The show’s website, www.predictions.tv, has a contest to predict the Dow stock index for a chance to win $5,000. The site also has some video from the show and a bulletin board where people can make their own predictions. The special was produced by Steven Latham Productions and 1080, Inc.

“Coast to Coast AM” is heard nightly on nearly 500 stations and is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks. Their site is www.coastocoastam.com.
