Marana, Arizona—Running for mayor of Oro Valley isn’t the only big move Christopher DeSimone is making this year.
DeSimone is moving his show to Live The Dream Media after working with KVOI for nearly 16 years. The Wake Up! Tucson host felt he had reached the full potential of what he could achieve with an AM radio show.
“Nowadays in 2025, there’s no capacity for a radio station to market content. It’s not just a part of the business model anymore,” said DeSimone.
At Live The Dream Media, a digital advertising and marketing business. DeSimone will be able to promote and grow the show the way he envisions.

“Now I have the freedom to build the show and to grow the show because now I’m working with a great company that knows how to promote the show. Whether it’s through not just online social media marketing but also streaming. I’ve never had that in fifteen years,” said DeSimone.
DeSimone won’t have to worry about FCC regulations at Live The Dream Media, which will give him more freedom during his campaign for mayor of Oro Valley later this year.
“When you’re on the FCC airwaves of radio, they make it very difficult for me and the owners of the station to do both and I never want to put my owners in a situation that was too much,” said DeSimone.
Not only does DeSimone want to grow his show, but he also wants to help Live The Dream Media grow.
“I love the idea of growing the Live The Dream Media company with the team, but in the end, for the show, it’s the idea that I finally am in a spot where the company I’m working for has the capacity and willingness to promote the show bigger than its ever been before,” said DeSimone
DeSimone’s first show with Live The Dream Media will be on Monday, January 27, at 6 a.m. To listen or watch the show visit the links below:
