Indie Talk is a new kind of political talk radio; an uncensored, non-partisan forum for independent thought and opinion targeting the blogger generation. The channel has no agenda: Indie Talk gives equal voice to individuals from any affiliation or background.

Politan's show will launch March 24 and air live Monday - Friday from 6:00 - 9:00 am ET exclusively on Indie Talk channel 110. Every morning Politan will take the country's pulse as he takes calls from men and women of all ages and backgrounds, shining a spotlight on their reactions to breaking news, issues and buzz. Topics on the show will be caller and headline-driven and span the worlds of politics, entertainment, and beyond.

A former prosecutor and Court TV reporter and anchor for many years, Politan brings an informative and entertaining journalistic insight to Indie Talk. Vinnie Politan recently hosted SIRIUS' Court TV Morning Radio and co-anchored Court TV's Bloom & Politan. Politan was a prosecuting attorney in Bergen County, New Jersey. Politan was also an AP Award-winning reporter and anchor for Central Florida News 13 in Orlando, FL, where he covered the 2000 presidential election.

Indie Talk features several other daily original shows in its programming lineup:

Veteran actor and political maverick Ron Silver hosts an exclusive call-in show Monday - Friday from 9:00 - 11:00 am ET. In addition to a storied Hollywood career and serving as president of Actors' Equity Association, Silver has been politically active for many years -- most recently as a member of The Council on Foreign Relations. A one-time Democrat, Silver spoke at The Republican National Convention in 2004. Silver has now "gone Indie" and offers his singular no-holds-barred perspective on the day's headlines and this country's political past, present and future.

On Pete's Big Mouth SIRIUS host and standup comic Pete Dominick challenges listeners to take a stand and have fun at the same time without political labels. Inspired by his fascination with politics and social issues, Dominick approaches everything with his razor sharp wit and tongue. Pete's Big Mouth airs on Indie Talk Monday - Friday from 2:00 - 5:00 pm ET.

Indie Talk stays on pace with today's frenzied news cycle by airing "blogcast" news updates every 20 minutes -- reporting the freshest headlines and buzz as it unfolds on the blogs. Additionally, Indie Talk features The Blog Bunker, a cutting-edge roundtable featuring a selection of the over 100 million bloggers around the globe.
