Talk show airs on Guam's ABC 7 - Good Question

The need for people in small communities to vent their frustrations or opinions but maintaining their anonymity is important. It wasn't until recent history that Pacific island communities were "allowed" to air their opinions because of long standing cultural taboos. It is important that these cultural sensitivities are still respected but it is also important a venue is created for people to discuss their issues.

The Pacific News Center and ABC 7 announced the launch of a unique and interactive television program called "Good Question".

The weekly half hour show, hosted by Ray Gibson, features guests responding to questions both from the host and from television viewers.

Good Question provides a way for members of the Guam community to keep their anonymity in order for them to comfortably express their opinions. Politicians, civic leaders, entrepreneurs, and many others have appeared on the program.

Sorensen Media Group CEO Rex Sorensen said, “This program allows viewers the opportunity to interact and communicate with Ray's guests. While the Pacific News Center can provide information about various news stories affecting the island this forum allows for the open discussion of such topics.”

Sorensen Media Group and Lotus Media Services Managing Director Evan M. Cohen said, “We have devoted listeners of the News talk K57 radio station but there are people who do not have the opportunity to listen to the radio during the day and this allows that demographic to keep on top of the issues affecting their lives.”

The pre-recorded program airs Monday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on ABC 7.
