Default Re: A Live Village Talk Show

A couple of years ago, I talked with officials of the radio station about this topic. To sum up their interest in one word......ZERO. There are several reasons as I see it. One is that the station is there to sell real estate. Also, if you have an uncensored talk show, criticism will creep in and that will not be tolerated. In addition, people will not (trust me on this...I have 45 years experience) listen to a talk show unless it is controversial. Lastly, a population base of 60,000 people with fewer than 100 of them listening to the radio station will not support a talk show. A talk show without calls is deadly. Now, if we could do a talk show here on Talk of The Villages, I would be in favor of that. There are several ways we could post audio comments from people.
