4ZZZ Radio

4ZZZ is one of the most unique independent community broadcasters in Australia, broadcasting a diverse range of announcer-curated programs 24 hours per day. The station - now, not only a cultural institution but also a cultural icon, began transmission on December 8th, 1975 as the first FM community broadcaster in Brisbane transmitting in stereo. 4ZZZ was established to provide a radical alternative to mainstream news, to promote a sense of engagement, diversity and activism in community life and to support local and Australian music. Throughout its history, 4ZZZ has been renowned for putting on live music gigs and events, providing strong community involvement and offering exceptional training services. 4ZZZ continues to support and advocate for musicians, artists and underground culture, providing radio access for community members and issues not often represented in the mainstream media. The radio station is supporter driven and run by a dedicated team of volunteers and announcers who chose their own music to broadcast (no play lists), which makes for diverse and interesting programming.
