WZZQ the Movie

WZZQ the Movie

For a brief shining moment (the 70’s!), this free form, counterculture, FM radio station in Jackson, Mississippi rocked the mid-South. With no playlists, no rules, and very few inhibitions, the legendary WZZQ represented a way of life for its young listeners. Hear the story from the DJs who ran it and the fans who loved it, along with original on-air recordings. Rock me all night long, ZZQ!

WZZQ the Movie is presented by your local public television station.
