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. 

In the News - ABC Mackay [Australia] interview about the 'Fighting
Voices from Downunder' feature in late April for the Queensland
state-wide breakfast show; TVNZ interview in their Wellington studios

Honolulu Weekly covers the 'Blue Hawaii, Elvis & Hawaiian Radio 1961'
feature in their local arts and media pages during May

documentaries going on Radio NZ International in June.......
