Zinc 96.1

Zinc 96.1 (ACMA callsign: 4NNN) is an adult contemporary-formatted commercial radio station based in Maroochydore, Queensland and broadcasting to the Sunshine Coast, owned by ARN.

[1] In February 2006, the station relaunched as Zinc 96.1, targeting the 40+ demographic, with Jamie Dunn, Jo Beth Taylor, Ian Calder and Johjo Switzer hosting the morning zoo-formatted breakfast show.

In November 2021, Zinc 96.1, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network.

This deal will allow Grant's stations, including Zinc 96.1, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas.

The station is aimed at the over-35 section of the market, male-skewed but female-friendly, playing adult contemporary music.
