Z-Rock

Z Rock was a nationally syndicated radio network in the United States that aired from 1986 to 1996. Owned by the Satellite Music Network, it primarily focused on hard rock and heavy metal music, targeting a younger, rock-oriented audience. The network operated 24/7 and was distributed to affiliate radio stations across the country. Known for its edgy style and branding, it became a cultural touchstone for metal fans during its decade-long run. Z Rock's influence waned in the mid-1990s as musical trends shifted, leading to its eventual closure.
