How do I get back to my PBS program?
Sometimes I turn on the Public Television channel and I can hear your programming instead of PBS's.
A: Whenever that happens it means you have somehow pushed the SAP or MTS setting on your remote control. This can also happen when newly programming your VCR. AINC is broadcast over the Secondary Audio Program signal off of Rocky Mountain PBS. So the only way you can pick us up is through local cable access, special receiver, or through the special SAP or MTS setting on your stereo TV or VCR. All you need to do is to disengage (turn off) the SAP or MTS setting and you will hear the PBS programming again.

Why doesn't AINC play on the regular radio?
AINC is not an AM or FM radio station. Because of this we do not have call letters. AINC is broadcast over the SAP signal from the Rocky Mountain PBS stations, so to be able to access our signal you will need to follow the above instructions.
Who is The Audio Information Network of Colorado?
The Audio Information Network of Colorado, Inc. (AINC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer based, reading audio information service for Colorado's blind, visually impaired and print handicapped children, youth, working age adults and senior citizens. AINC broadcasts enable those persons who for a variety of reasons cannot effectively read newspapers and other printed documents. Realizing that knowledge is power, AINC's mission is to normalize and empower the lives of a largely invisible segment of society; to decrease their sense of isolation; to increase their independence; to promote education; and to foster their connection with their individual communities. This is the answer to the question.
What are your station's call letters?
The Audio Information Network of Colorado does not have call letters. Call letters are associated with broadcast stations using specific frequency air time. AINC through a special agreement with the Rocky Mountain Public Broadcast System (RMPBS), uses the second auxiliary programming signal reserved for close caption or descriptive services, to broadcast it's signal.
When is the Audio Information Network of Colorado broadcast?
The Audio Information Network of Colorado broadcasts 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year.
