KZradio is the English-language name of HaKatzeh radio, an internet-only radio station based in Tel Aviv and specializing in indie and alternative music. The radio station is based on volunteer work, and broadcasts from facilities provided by the BPM College of music and audio engineering. The station broadcasts about 10 hours a day, combining curated music programs, live sets and special programs dedicated to specific events (music festivals, yearly countdowns, etc.)

Station History
HaKatzeh (literally "The Edge") began in 1999 as a scheduled evening music program within the Galgalatz station, operated by the Israeli Defense Forces radio. It was hosted by Nadav Ravid and Eyal "Quami" Friedman, two alumni of the IDF station who remained onboard as civilians. The two strived to spotlight music that received less exposure in the mainstream media (e.g., the daily programming in Galgalatz and MTV rotations). Among the genres featured in the original program were electronic music, Post Rock, alternative hip hop, Drum and Bass, indie and alternative rock.

From 2001 to 2008, Friedman remained the sole programmer and presenter of the HaKatzeh show, as Ravid left to pursue other occupations. He returned in 2008, and the two presented the show together until the Galgalatz station manager decided to terminate the program.

Current Iteration
On April 1st, 2012, HaKatzeh began broadcasting as a radio station, through the kzradio.net website, with a dedicated app launched later. Among the top talents enlisted as station DJs is veteran radio presenter Yoav Kutner, who broadcasts from his home studio. After Ravid left the station, returning to Galgalatz as station manager in 2014, Friedman remained onboard, assisted by Omer Senesh, the station's co-owner.

HaKatzeh currently boasts some 30 presenters, either in daily shows or one-off special broadcasts.
