What would teens like to see on a local talk show?

I am starting a local talk show, and I am interested to see what teens would like to see on a talk show. I am trying to make it fun, and yet powerful. I want to have two things happen:
Have it be funny and fun
Have guests to talk about strong issues.
And i am interested in hearing what you would like to see on TV? I am just brining things to the table for my first meeting with the producer.

I would like to see all the young, popular teen celebs, eg.
Robert Pattinson, cast of iCarly and other Family channel shows, comedians, etc. Nothing about health or diets or blah blah blah.

Lots of color! But like a really modern set, cool chairs (egg), bright, eye-catching colors that coincide nicely.

Random events, lots of talking, HUMOR, giveaway packages (unique, OOAK) and yeah, I would like to see lots of randomness and teen humor that would actually make me laugh.

What is the minimum wage of a radio talk show host? And what do i need to do to get there?

I’m 16 and the idea of a radio talk show host came into my mind and I loved it. I’ve been researching on how to get to be a radio talk show host and how much i would get paid but I’m not having any luck. Help?

If you got a job at the radio station, you would be paid minimum wage (for your state) if you do not have any special education or qualifications.
I would look into getting a communications degree from a community college or state university.

How would the Fairness Doctrine effect a radio station that has a Libertarian talk show?

I know that the Fairness Doctrine is supposed to force stations to air opposing views. A Libertarian is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. So a conservative show or a liberal show wouldn’t "balance" Libertarian views. As far as I know, there aren’t any talk shows that have a fiscally liberal and socially conservative host.

I listen to a Libertarian talk show in the mornings (Neal Boortz) and I was just wondering how the government would try to balance out those views.

There is no definitive answer to this. That is the biggest problem. What some may view as liberal others may view as conservative and vice versa.

First someone would have to define Liberal and Conservative, for their to be a balance. That simply can’t or won’t happen.

Liberal talk shows don’t work and the Senator from MI or wherever who is pushing for this happens to be married to the someone high on the food chain of the bankrupt "Air America"! LOL!!!

NO conflict there! Air America is proof that liberals viewpoints just don’t want to be heard. If people did want to hear them they wouldn’t go bankrupt.
