Sun Sounds exists solely on grants, donations, fund raisers, and program underwriting. Although we are independent we work closely with the Tucson Association for the Blind, the Veterans Administration Medical Center Blind Services, Arizona Schools for the Deaf and Blind , and the Arizona State Library's Talking Books Division. Sun Sounds transmits on a special frequency, and a receiver tuned only to Sun Sounds is available on free loan to any eligible person. These receivers are also wired directly into the sound systems of almost every nursing home and hospital in the Tucson metropolitan area. Most outlying cable companies carry our signal as well.
Program guides are available in print, Braille, and cassette.
Volunteers are responsible for producing, recording and engineering our 24-hour broadcast programs. Most of our volunteers donate just two or three hours every two weeks. Some folks are here nearly every day.
