This year 4ZZZ is celebrating its 50th Birthday and to commemorate such an occasion we’ve organised four months of celebrations.

Kicking off with Radiothon, from August 8th to December 8th, we’re rolling out a series of events that honour not only fifty years of independent music and media, but also our vast community of volunteers and supporters.

There are gigs, panel discussions, exhibitions, live broadcasts and plenty of chances to catch up with friends and celebrate what makes community radio so special. 

The 4ZZZ50 birthday campaign reaffirms the station's steadfast community focus by involving subscribers, listeners, and supporters, with an invitation to submit an original letter ‘Z’. The contributions will be pasted on the city's walls and posted across the web.

Instead of the top-down communication strategies of corporate branding, Zed supporters are building a visual celebration of the station’s 50th year from the ground up; community engagement instead of marketing's corporate estrangement.
