4ZZZ-FM, Australia's Number 1 public broadcaster is set to leap into top gear, transmitting from Mt. Coot-tha all over metropolitan Brisbane in stereo. In about a month's time 102.1 on the FM dial will represent the most exciting innovation in the history of public broadcasting in Australia. ROB CAMERON takes a look at a few possibilities for the way 4ZZZ-FM will develop in the short term.
"A pretty strong brew of poor taste, irreligiousness and just a general nonconcem for any of the existing gods, and false structures that prevail."
