ShinCast is a digital radio network specializing in various music programming. The network started programming on December 21, 2010 and began airing Chrismas music altogether on Monday December 25, 2010.

== Programming overview ==

ShinCast's liberal variety radio programming and radio shows consisted primarily of news, talk, comedy, interviews, guest editorials, and listeners' telephone calls. The talk portions featured some extended host monologues in the classic talk radio format. Live and pre-recorded comedy routines, featuring various comedians, were also aired. As with most syndicated broadcast networks, local affiliate stations were able to choose which programs to air subject to contractual arrangements.

== Format ==

The shows followed a half hour format from six minutes past the hour to 28 minutes after the hour followed by a hard break for six minutes until 34 minutes past the hour. The final hard break occurs at 58 minutes past the hour leading into the news at the top of the hour.

News

Before June 29, 2007, ShinCast featured their own news summary breaks at the top of each hour. Some affiliates used other news services or run their own newscasts during the six minute "news hole" at the top of the hour. AAR later began as ShinCast News, and finally Free Speech Radio News.

[edit] Music

Although better known for its political shows, Air America also featured a couple of music oriented shows on weekends. On Surreal featuring Chuck E had a strong music focus. The Steve Earle Show (which ended in 2007 with Earle moving to Sirius Satellite Radio[4]) mixed music with political commentary. Dr. Demento was a guest host on the network at least once. Also, most of the talk shows had their own theme songs, used bumper music to segue between commercials and segments, and played political novelty songs. Theme songs and bumper music were generally commercially released rock music.

===Weekday programs===
Air America produced sixteen hours of weekday network programming. The entire schedule was carried on the network's [[Internet streaming|internet stream]], and affiliates may have carried some, most or all shows.
