Well, at least it's better than the guy with the "new age in the daytime urban at night" format.

Looks like Tucson's newest pirate is called Free Radio Chukshon. It bears a remarkable resemblence to Radio Limbo which also operated on 103.3 several years ago. Somehow this outlaw station can locate live personalities which most of the legal stations can't seem to handle. Music is AOR (any old record) with a lot of heavy metal and punk rock.
Unlike the previous pirate on 103.3, these guys don't seem to be using a pole stuck in the air with an antenna mouted on top. Chukshon's signal covers nearly all of Tucson so it may be that they have something in the mountains as was the case with Limbo.
Legal or not, more effort goes into this station's programming than what goes into what the conglomerates offer. It's interesting to listen to it even if you don't enjoy it.

Jeezuz, Mary and Joseph! That is horrible man!
Last I checked, even Pirate Radio had to have some personality, and maybe a little professionalism. These guys suck!
"Um yeah, this is um radio Chukshon, and um, we are gonna play some nice stuff here, and um <crackle crackle dead air> what the...<crackle crackle> ok got it, and um it's a nice day and we um are gonna party some and um..."
Dude I was doin that crap at 6 years old!
Cmon now...tighten it up will ya? College radio sounds better than that!

From your description, it sounds like the 1965-era version of
WVWA Pound Ridge, NY.
NINE!
But it got better, trust me. If you're not already "in" to this
legendary station, listen to an aircheck compilation here:

Pirate stations make no claim to sounding professional and that's not what they are trying to accomplish.
Eventually a member of the Tucker Family will arrange a series of frequency swaps and tell the FCC that they are proposing a first local service for South Oracle Junction. The FCC will buy this trash and a new commercial outlet will transmit on or near 103.3. The new station will be a computerized jukebox with professionally produced liners that tell everyone that they are listening to "The Wolf" or "The Edge" or "The Zone". The liners will come from Nebraska using announcers who don't know Tucson from Bullhead City.
Personally I'd rather listen to unprofessional live air talent than a mindless automation system from Omaha.

There's a happy medium, dude.
When I managed my college station in N.O., I at least had my jocks sound like they new what they were doing. They knew how to work the equipment, and they were able to speak 10 words in a row without umm....uhhh....durrrrrr....wellll........
They weren't puking and reading canned liners (although I did have them read copy about events going on around campus, and I did have the journalism class reading news they wrote 4 times a day), but they sounded somewhat professional. Now I know college radio ain't pirate radio, but it's got to be something people would want to listen to.
Bad jocks just make it unlistenable. If you listen to a station just because of the music, then why have a jock at all? Just can it and play it off the computer.

Sooooo I guess by the recent posts on the Tucson board that there really is nothing happening on the Old Pueblo airwaves(as someone once told me). Heard some info 'bout some new guy teaming up with the Mountain person...what's the local take on him. Also, what's going on with the new KNST morning host??? The interim person must have been a little upset that he didn't get the position. Anybody got anything from the Tucson market???
What about those pros who got the CC axe (laid off)about a year ago...where are they now????

Any programming coming from conglomerates is going to be dull if the market has less than 2 million people.
On Thursday evening I was listening to Pirate 103.3 and heard a lively discussion about Arizona. It featured a woman who referred to law enforcement officers as "f___ing pigs". What a contrast from what the big players offer. The alternative would be to listen to Delilah playing a special song for some woman in Kansas City whose boyfriend left her.
