Didn't Bell sell the rights to C2C to Premier? Once he sold the rights he had no claim to how it was broadcast. It's like the guy you bought your house from complaining about the color you painted it. And the bumper music was no more his than it was/is any other broadcaster who pays for an ASCAP license to use it. Typically narcissistic Bell, brilliant broadcaster but not a good person.
I think Art couldn’t turn down the money and then hung around working for PremRat, mistakenly thinking they’d follow his wishes for the show, since he and Ramona made it what it was. Then, they didn’t cater to his situation with his son, which I won’t waste time going into. He should have known better than to expect what he did from such a corporate entity. Too much ego, poor judgment and expectations, and eccentricity. A hell of a good broadcaster in his day, though.
