Radio 4KZ is based at Innisfail in Far North Queensland [Australia]. With Al Kirton as manager and on-air personality, 4KZ covers the north from coast to coast with real local radio through an extensive AM and FM network. In the eye of the massive cyclone that struck Queensland earlier this year, 4KZ kept locals informed and entertained, despite losing one tower system. Snakes in the transmitter huts can also be a challenge! 4KZ and Al Kirton are strong supporters of the work of the Radio Heritage Foundation. Listen to them streaming live now at
www.4kz.com.au.
