Downtown Radio is the public name for LPFM Downtown Tucson, a 501(c)3
non-profit organization designed to maintain a community-sponsored rock
'n'
roll radio station. The call letters are KTDT-LP.
We air on 99.1 FM in Tucson and is a hyper-localized station with a
range of
approximately 3.5 to 5 miles in every direction from the site of the
antenna.
We are on the air 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Downtown Radio fills a void by playing non-corporate rock 'n' roll,
including
local and independent artists. We feature other genres like jazz, hip
hop,
lounge, and talk on Sundays only. One talk show, "The Depression
Session," has
been featured on the front page of the Arizona Daily Star and on Arizona
Illustrated on the local PBS channel.
Additionally, we aim to improve the mental health of the community by
inviting
individuals from mental health agencies to come to the station and talk
about
what their organization offers. We attempt to indirectly connect those
suffering from mental or emotional duress with the agencies that can
help them
as well as to reduce the stigma associated with stigma associated with
seeking
help for mental and emotional health issues.
We air public service announcements, inform the community on local
happenings,
and occasionally work with youth.
