Update 6/26/17 from Tucson Progressive Media FB page: “As you may have noticed, Tucson Progressive Media has terminated its relationship with KEVT Radio. The live stream of progressive talk lives on (for now!) We hope to build on the internet home while we consider other broadcast options.
Your support is greatly appreciated!
