Answer
mpho: I would check at your local high school to see if they have an audio/visual department.  Perhaps one of the teachers can give you direct assistance there.  Also you might do an internet search using the phrase "how to start a TV talk show" and go to Amazon.com to see if such a book(s) are available from Amazon.

I have owned a television show production company, Trobray Television Productions,LLC since 1994. I produce a live one hour cable access call-in show by the name of Business Beat Live that airs in Connecticut. I can answer questions as to how to produce your own cable access show; how to get great guests, how to promote your show; how to write press releases for your show; how to get show volunteers; should you have a show co-host; should you use paid advertising to promote a special guest; suggest books, videos and publications useful as reference works to produce a quality show and invite selected individuals who respond to allexperts.com to be a guest on a "live" Business Beat Live tv show and receive "how to" suggestions and a critique of their on show appearance.
