iShine KNECT is a Christian television show created by Robert Beeson as a part of the iShine ministry. It is broadcast on Trinity Broadcasting Network with a cast of teen singers, actors and dancers. Season five is in production. The show's first season was in 2009.
iShine's first season was written and directed by Beeson and Kevan Cyka. The show featured artists, performances and interviews as well as short segments where the cast did improvisation and comedy.
iShine is alive and the iShine staff worked with writers in Dallas, Texas, to create "Cafe iShine," a club built in the Trinity Broadcasting Network's studios. The show was filmed in high-definition and was along the lines of iCarly and Hannah Montana. The season was directed by Don Dartt and broadcast in July 2010. The season had twelve episodes and an additional Live Concert Special.
In 2011, Beeson and the iShine staff used Club iShine and revised it into "iShine Academy".
Season four of iShine Academy began on May 25, 2013.
Season 4 features Mission Six, The Rubyz, Spencer Kane, Rachel Chan, Caroline Grace Williams, Tate Huesmann as Max, Zara Beeson as Jacks, Rachel Dartt as Audrey, Kevan Cyka as Mr. Bridges, and Doug Goodrich as Troy. A new actress played the role of Ms. Hambley for Season 4.
Season 5 was in production through 2014. The first two episodes aired on Smile of a Child in late summer of 2015. The season features Mission Six, Rachel Chan, Spencer Kane, Tate Huesmann as Max, Zara Beeson as Jax, Doug Goodrich as Troy, Alexis Slifer and Olivia Huesmann, former members of The Rubyz , and new iShine artists Harper Gruzins, and Abigail Duhon making their debut on set.
