News from Bill Buckmaster (“The Buckmaster Show” on KJLL 1330 AM The Jolt):

First, let me thank you for your support of my work over the years and especially over the past four months. I am delighted to report your response has been outstanding, with many of you saying a program presenting the facts and both sides of the issues has been long overdue on Arizona Radio. Now, I have a wonderful opportunity to expand the reach of the program, allowing us to have our show be heard by all Southern Arizonans.

As of June 1, the Buckmaster Show will have a new home on KVOI, “The Voice” AM 1030. The station has one of the strongest AM signals in Arizona. In addition, our program will also be simulcast on two other stations with outstanding reach, KAPR AM 930 in Douglas and KJAA AM 1240 in Globe.

This move will go a long way toward reaching one of the goals I set for my new business: to bring intelligent talk to as many Arizonans as possible. The show will air live on the three stations from Noon to 1pm Monday through Friday.

We plan to to continue on at KJLL through the end of April and then “retool” the Buckmaster Show in May and be back live Wednesday, June 1 on KVOI, KAPR and KJAA.

Buckmaster was the talk show host on KUAT Channel 6 “Arizona Illustrated” for 23 years, before starting up his Buckmaster Show on the radio on January 3, 2011.

So stay tuned those of you out there in radio land in Southern Arizona.

    KVOI? Oh, so now fewer people will hear from Bill from more cities.

    A.P., how do you know that fewer people listen to KVOI than KJLL?
