Tucson’s Underground Community Station
Downtown Radio is having its fall fund drive beginning Wednesday, November 13th, and needs your support!
This is your chance to step up and make a difference in your community by making a much-needed donation to help keep us the great music and unique programming coming.
It’s a simple fact that Downtown Radio cannot exist without public support.
If you listen to Downtown Radio, then you know how diverse our programming is. You know that we don’t play the same music that other stations play and you know how entertaining and knowledgeable our DJs are about music.
You probably also know that we are committed to helping reduce the stigma associated with seeking help for mental and emotional health issues. Since the beginning, we’ve had programming that addresses these important issues because we’re committed to creating a healthier community.
Our goal this fall is a modest $2500. You can help us reach that goal. You can keep eclectic, commercial-free music coming your way by making a donation to Downtown Radio today.

The Power of Radio!
Own a business? Why not run underwriting announcements on Downtown Radio? You can put the word out about your business and support local, independent radio at the same time. Running underwriting announcements on Downtown Radio is an inexpensive, effective way to reach the people who are most likely to patronize your business: those who live, work, and hang out in the greater downtown area.
Social media ads are just not that effective. A recent Nielsen poll concluded that nearly 20% more consumers trust traditional radio advertising over social media ads.
Additionally, people still listen to radio far more than you might think. Studies show that 92% of adults 18 and over listen to the radio on a weekly basis.
Becoming a sponsor of Downtown Radio not only supports the local music community, it is entirely tax-deductible. Contact us today at admin@downtownradio.org to learn more about how you can support the local arts community while putting the word out about your business.
