WKZE BROADCAST CENTER

7564 North Broadway, Red Hook, NY 12571  |  845-758-9810  |  wkze.com

WKZE-FM has been proudly independent since we made our debut on the airwaves in 1987. Back then, the station was based in Sharon, CT, from where our broadcast signal still originates. Today we base our operations in beautiful Red Hook, NY.

We believe diversity keeps life interesting, and that belief informs every aspect of our business.

Our programming is some of the most eclectic you’re likely to hear. Listeners tune into KZE for a carefully curated selection of world music with a particular focus on African, Latin and Caribbean sounds; an ever-expanding library of local music from our own backyard; jazz, bluegrass, roots, rock, and more. You never know what we’ll play next, and that’s the way we like it!

We also choose to partner exclusively with local businesses as advertisers. We want the ads you hear on KZE to be just as community-oriented as the music. The restaurants, retailers and venues you hear about on KZE are businesses we patronize ourselves, and feel good about recommending to our listeners. And in turn, our advertisers are KZE listeners too!

We love what we do, and we hope you love it just as much. We’re always here to answer questions, take feedback, and fulfill song requests. Thanks for listening to 98.1 KZE!
