Description

On December 8, 1975, Brisbanes first new radio station in over three decades, four Z Z-F M, was launched by journalist John Woods, a defiant voice amidst turbulent times. Despite political obstacles and a tense backdrop of national and international events, the station, born out of a need for an alternative voice, went on air with a homemade transmitter. Today, it thrives as a community-powered radio station, proving that such stations can not only survive but also flourish for decades.
