Tucson’s Underground Community Station
Downtown Radio Is Having a Holiday Fiesta!
Downtown Radio is celebrating the holidays with you, your friends and the Downtown Radio DJs!
You’re invited to join us on Saturday, December 21st, for an ultra-rare after hours party at Rocco’s Little Chicago Pizzeria, located at 2707 E. Broadway. Normally, Rocco’s closes at 10 PM, but this night things will just be revving up at that time. From 10 PM to 1 AM, Rocco’s will be serving a limited food menu and, if you didn’t know already, they’ve got a great selection of beers on tap and a full bar!
Downtown Radio personalities will be there hanging out and DoctorSlow will spinning music all night. Don’t miss your chance to meet Satan, Heather Vee, Eldar the Viking, V-Riv, Deedle-D the Clown, and more of the talented Downtown Radio personalities!
A five dollar donation not only gets you through the door, but will get you a raffle ticket for a chance to win awesome prizes like gift certificates to Martin’s Comida Chingona, Tucson Bicycle Service,
and Mister Carwash.
All the door proceeds go to Downtown Radio so we can keep doing what we’ve been doing for the past three years: rocking your world and bringing you quality talk shows that focus on mental and emotional health and other important community-related issues.

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.
