[grc] Advice on allowing beverages in on-air studio

[Max Kelley]

We allow beverages (but no food) in our on-air studio, but they are 
confined to a special "beverage" shelf in the corner away from any 
equipment, a similarly distant endtable, and our guest table since it 
only has mics on booms and the table itself has a heavy waterproof 
polyurethane on it.

Absolutely no beverages on the broadcast console table, turntable table, 
etc. Signage is key here to establish which areas are OK and which are not!

While keeping liquids away from equipment is an obvious necessity, it is also reasonable to expect the need to have water at hand during a long discussion.
