Anna Zee: Rock, Radio, Halifax

Anna Zee has been with Q104 in Halifax for nearly 38 years. Her first radio foray was in 1981 at Queens University's.

She transitioned through various stations including Rock 103 (Now C-103) in Moncton before landing at the legendary Q104 in Halifax, where she became a daytime fixture.

Throughout her career, she's witnessed significant changes in radio, from physical record deliveries to digital platforms and social media integration. While the technology has changed, her passion for music has not. Q104 has been more than a job for Anna - it's been a family. She's experienced the station's evolution, including some subtle and slight shifts in musical format as the station's audience evolved and grew over the years. Despite opportunities elsewhere, she remained committed to Halifax, loving the city's vibrant music scene and tight-knit radio community.

The Electric Lunch, continues to be a staple. Today, it's 90's music take center stage on the show.

Towards the end of the interview I asked Anna Zee about the unique routing of concert tours to Halifax. It's way better today. Many will recall 1986 and Q104's Rush to Halifax Promotion. I found an old video of a young Jerry Neville whom I worked with in 1989 in Nova Scotia... he is hosting what appears to be a Rush to Halifax rally. I actually heard from Jerry a few weeks ago when I watched the U18 baseball championships live on YouTube and he was the house announcer at the game in Fort McMurray, Alberta. These days, Jerry owns a production company there.
