"Free Radio Tucson" is off the air. Federal authorities have shut down the pirate FM radio station that was operating from a home near Mission and Valencia. The U.S. Attorney's office says the shutdown is a first for Tucson.

According to the man that says he ran the station, it had been in operation for about ten months. But that all changed August 1st, after Free Radio Tucson got tuned out by federal regulators.
