What You Get

A Complete Affiliate Package

The Master

One network-voiced four-hour master, professionally produced and mixed, delivered as broadcast-ready hourly files to your spec.

Your Local Identity

A tag sheet lets you localize the show open and close with your own call letters. Two two-minute local breaks every hour for your spots and promos.

Clock & Cue Sheets

Full hour-by-hour clocks, segment timings, break positions, and designated flex cuts so it trues up clean against your automation.

Cleared & Documented

Music and archival audio prepared for broadcast; the pre-1923 cold open is public domain. Imaging is human-voiced. You get the paperwork you need.

Safe for Every Affiliate

Deliberately, Carefully Non-Partisan

The framing never mentions a party, a politician, or a current event. It’s a birthday party, not a platform, built so you can run it in any market with confidence.

Cash wrote “Ragged Old Flag” during Watergate without taking a side Jackson’s lyric disclaims politics in its own words Greenwood’s anthem has been used across the spectrum for 40 years

Steven Edward, host of America at 250: The Soundtrack of Us Your Host

A Network-Caliber Host

Steven Edward

Host of multiple shows & stations on the Thasis Radio Network

You can’t get more American than Steve. A paperboy as a kid, a high school teacher for much of his career, and a backyard chicken-raiser by hobby. His second act brought him years on the microphone out of the Chicago market.

Today he anchors multiple shows across multiple stations on the Thasis Radio Network. He doesn’t announce the songs at your listeners; he tells the stories behind them, the way the best radio always has. One network-voiced master, one trusted voice, ready to localize with your call letters.
