4k-radio Interview
Over the last 6 months online-gaming radio has really started to take off. I took some time out of my tight schedule and decided to catch up with Oscar and Mashton from 4k-radio to see what was going on:
For those of you that don't know you, tell us a little bit about yourselves and how 4k-radio came about? (Mashton was coming too but he's asleep I'm told)
[4k^Oscar] - We are an online radio station that was first cs.radio then after 1 gline (Qnet shut it down in other words) we moved to eradio then with a few problems with a manager and the losing of a channel we managed to get cs.radio un glined where we started up shop again and then when i-es moved to 4k we decided with 4kings to merge and become the massive 4k.radio
We commentate on matches from all games, we are currently bringing in new DJs to cope with the various games there are, we also do pranks and play the funky tunes.
Last night 4k-r became the biggest radio station on Quakenet, touched over 600 idlers and a similar number of listeners. What do you think sets 4k-radio apart from the rest?
[4k^Oscar] - We have worked really hard over the last few months to find out what brings and keeps listeners, and with hours of meetings and phone calls we have found the right mix it seems to please everyone.
Just a quick question, are there different streams for broadband and 56k users?
[4k^Oscar] - At the moment we stream at 56k basically because of the amount of listeners, we would run out of bandwidth otherwise especially last night.
What do you see the role of online-gaming radio going in the future and what areas would you like to expand into?
[4k^Oscar] - We would like to be in a position to do live broadcasting from every pro lan that goes on over the world, and to get a main fm band or dab frequency, but as with everything it takes time. We are moving towards that though with everyday.
Now we're nearing the end, is there anyone you'd like to give a shout out to?
[4k^Oscar] - Basically I have to thank www.4k-gaming.co.uk, #4k-gaming for there continued support over the last few months and also to lithium for always being there when we need a relay server set up :) We have set up a donation payment scheme to help us with running costs, also this should help us to get to the lans to see the people. As always we're looking for new sponsors.
A quick plug to get access to the FTP of pranks etc. and to get a 4k radio bnc you have to donate £10 to 4k.radio. Vhosts include:
aimbot.that.dildo.into.my.arse.at.4k-radio.net
run.naked.through.de_dust.with.soft.blonde.hair.and.an.ak7.at.4k-radio.net
Last but not least I have a question submitted to me by your friend Sparkeh, "so Oscar, did you wack off over jay?"
[4k^Oscar] - How could I wack off on air?
Oh come on, it's customary to give UKT an exclusive, tell us the truth.
[4k^Oscar] - Ok the exclusive, the call girl from Sunday night added me to her msn and she has been chatting to me over the last few days.
Thanks for your time and GL to you guys in the future. If you would like to sponsor 4k-radio please send them an
email. Also if you wish to make a donation to 4k-radio head over to

You blamed EndGame for ringing him and they got a s*** load of organised abuse from you lot at 4k.radio, and when you found out that it wasn't EndGame, you didn't even apologise, you just f***ing whined! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

This cannot happen - as a DJ, friend what ever.. it cant end like this.
From the time i heard u on cs.radio back in december
to DJ'ing along side you at I15 (and moving your tent) to these troubling times, you will always remain Dj-Oscar, great bloke great DJ
What you have done is increadble, give internet radio a new face.

well lets start, i ex co-owner of Radio.1 ( radio Dot one ) we were once in compatition with cs.radio eRadio etc etc, for along time. Alot has happaned but in the end oscar come out in front of any thing we did at radio.1, until i realized that oscar continued his brilliant pranks re-mix's etc. myself looked up to Dj Oscar, hes a sound bloke and all his effort into 4k.radio like spending oever £200+ on Pranks for your Listeners.
I look up tp you Oscar and always will dude.
we all Support you mate, ignore them, the people persisting to get to you, just turn your head and tbfh why are they listening if they diont like it , wee they are kinda thick c***s tbh.
Any ways mate STAY because a part of 4k.radio will be missing, i dont mean a Dj i mean, its heart will be missing.
