{here's an alternative -- i've been wanting a general radio group
{for some time.  create rec.radio; if it's dominated by dx, swl, or
{what have you, that's fine, but it would provide a place for other
{discussions of radio as well.  i'm interested in discussions of
{radio station operation, formats, programming, etc. that really
{don't fit in to rec.music.* or anywhere else on the net; this
{group would provide such a place.

   I believe rec.radio is much too broad for the original intent of forming
   the group. I think a broad title like this would attract discussion of
   local radio format/programming. Not that this is bad, but I don't think
   we want to get bogged down in AM/FM music format discussion. Perhaps 
   there is interest out there for rec.radio.fm?
