Radio talk show host Bill Buckmaster on KVOI 1030 AM just announced the end of his show, effective 12/30/25. He was on the air there for 15 years, before that as a TV news host on Az Illustrated. His radio show airs at 12 noon, M to F.
“Change is the only constant in life” – Heraclitus.
I’m so proud of the past 15 years of my daily Tucson radio show and before that 22 years hosting the then daily TV newsmagazine “Arizona Illustrated” on AZ Public Media. But after nearly sixty years of daily deadlines, it’s time to kick back a bit and smell the creosote. The Buckmaster Show ends December 30th but the Buckmaster brand is not going away. My new business model will shift to special projects including website interviews and voiceover and narration.
I want to thank all my loyal listeners, sponsors and Bustos Media for their belief and support of my work in Southern Arizona. It’s been an honor to serve the community delivering a straight forward and honest news and information product.
Now time to turn the page and begin the next chapter of my journey.” (from FB page)

His website is www.buckmastershow.com, where he has interviewed numerous politicians, government officials, authors, professors (including my husband UA Distinguished Prof. Albrecht Classen) and many other notables over the years.
Good luck in your future endeavors, Bill. Your voice will be missed here in Southern Arizona.
