From station owner Andy: I would like to thank all of the stations around the world who aired or are airing WKZE’s “A Christmas Carol” yesterday, today and tomorrow. Radio is a unique and powerful force that has the ability to bring many together through voice, music and creative sound. If you are a WKZE friend or supporter, today I ask that you check out our “holiday network partners” and show them some love, either with a kind word, repost or a little holiday cheer on their donation page. Katie and I are grateful for all of our radio friends both at home and abroad. You all work tirelessly to keep the airwaves alive and free for everyone to enjoy. Here’s to another great year of independent broadcasting in 2026!
