I for one would appreciate a Forum Group that allows for the discussion of local radio shows and their guests. I'm hoping there are more like me out there. So a short yes/no poll.

Would you see a Talk Coffee and/or 9@Live groups for the site advantageous?

Thanks for your participation. There is no guarantee the site admins/mods will create them. It's just data gathering.

The advantage of a Talk Coffee segment is that we could eat while reading or responding to posts.

Hilarious! Indeed! Read emails too.

Checkin' the Weatherbug an' waitin'...waitin'...waitin' for it to load. Sterling radio.

"Now I have a question for you.....oh, it was right there and I lost it... It will come back to me. Oh, I remember: Anything we've missed that you want to talk about? Did you know I used to have several paper routes? Did you know I put rocks in mailboxes? Well, in the 9 o'clock hour there's lots (there is lots ) of things to talk about."

DEAD AIR. Doug does this a lot. Isn't that the first no-no of a live radio show? Bill W. must not pay him much; thus Doug is cheap to keep around.

He is no Ken Shram. Hell, he isn't even a John Carlson.

I think any talk about radio programs would fit well in the Local section. But if there was an extra section, that would be fine, too.

I'd rather the dead air than listen to Doug chew.

Hey, I love coffee talk and Doug. He is a great host, and has great guests!

Welcome to the board.

I listen to coffee talk every day on my way to work.
