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 Grant Broadcasters.
Zinc was first launched in 1997 as The Heat 96.1 by then-owners Broadcast Operations Group. In July 2005, the station was sold to AMI Radio, owners of former rival Hot 91.1.
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. Both Zinc and Hot were sold in 2007 to Prime Media Group, and in 2013 to current owners Grant Broadcasters.
The station is aimed at the over-35 section of the market, male-skewed but female-friendly, playing adult contemporary music.
