WoW Radio WoW Radio ( also known as WCRadio and Warcraft Radio ) was an independent group of players that have come together to produce and promote live radio shoutcasts that air throughout the week . The shows were about 80 % talk and 20 % music , with most of the music being split between preshows and the royalty free music played when there is no show or archive playing on the stream . Their existence and exhibitions were acknowledged and approved by Blizz ard , and has been featured on the old Official Website more than ten times , that being the official website of the WoW Community . WoW Radio was even let in to BlizzCon and sent out the only live audio feed covering everything on the show floor . The station began as one show , Saturday Nights with Athalus , on October 11th , 2004 . Athalus left the station on the March 18th , 2006 after his final goodbye show . The station was then owned by Eriyanna and TotalBiscuit . On January 3rd , 2010 the station announced that they would be broadcasting their final show in the following month . Individual hosts would move onto their own websites , or in groups . Totalbiscuit had since created his own website called The Cynical Brit . " The Donut Shop " , " MaxSpeed " , " Essence of RP " , " But Wait ! There ’ s Lore ! " and more was moved to " Original Media for Gamers " , or " OMFG " . " Octale and Hordak " have created Versus the World Productions , or VtW Productions . Duncor , Speedy40 , and Railvas moved to a site they co - founded , Just Cool Enough . Which is now partnered with Alpha Geek Radio , founded by members of WoWRadio ' s Casual Hardcore . On January 31 , 2010 WoW Radio ended its 5 year live broadcasting with a send off by TotalBiscuit and Athalus the 2 owners during the stations run . The host of the shows have split into 3 new networks . Interviews . WoW Radio has conducted a large number of interviews with various persons and organizations of note within the WoW community . The following is a selection . WoW Radio 24 / 7 . WoW Radio announced that it would be going ' 24 / 7 ' at the start of 2007 . In preparation for the project , the station upgraded its streaming facilities significantly , upgrading its quality to 128kb / s Stereo , at 44khz bitrate , whereas previously it broadcasted in 56kb / s 44khz Mono format . WoW Radio ' s 24 / 7 project was known to involve scheduled reruns of archived shows , organized into blocks . It was also known that it intends to include several DJ sets , and included a large selection of royalty - free music from such sources as OCRemix . As of November 2007 the system went into public beta . This system was successfully launched on December 1st 2007 , coupled with a major fix to the website to cope with excessive traffic . As a direct result of this service and the fixes to the site , daily traffic has increased by approximately 90 % . As of December 1st 2007 , WoW Radio ' s servers could handle 10 , 000 simultaneous live listeners . Issues of negativity and past controversy . It has been highlighted on a number of occasions that WoW Radio could be highly negative and critical regarding the World of Warcraft computer game . This in - itself was not necessarily a flaw and helped the station to achieve an independent style in their content , coming across more as fans of the game , rather than a corporate message medium . It had been known however for certain shows ( in particular " Blue Plz " and " Epic " , both hosted by TotalBiscuit , with " Epic " now having been retired ) to have a particularly negative tone in places , both about general gameplay , and Blizzard in particular . It should be noted that many value this particular point of view since there are few fansites willing to openly criticize Blizzard and its policies out of fear of alienating them . WoW Radio had long survived without the aid of Blizzard entertainment and it can only be presumed therefore , has no such qualms . Some would argue that because of this independent stance , WoW Radio was one of the most valuable source for WoW - related media and information online . WoW Radio has had altercations with Blizzard entertainment in the past , not least after an exposé of their treatment at BlizzCon in 2005 . Hosts pointed out specifically the number of roadblocks that had been thrown in the way of their efforts to broadcast the event , despite being invited to do so , and the uneven treatment that they had received in comparison to other organizations attending the event . Project Golddigger and Chronicles of the Goldfarmer . Later on , WoW Radio came under fire from Blizzard EU for the efforts of " Project Golddigger " and the " Chronicles of the Goldfarmer " movies in which TotalBiscuit was banned from the European forums and retaliated with a viral signature campaign to promote the movies , which spread like wildfire throughout the EU forum community . A large number of WoW Radio fans and staff were banned during this incident . There are varying opinions on the incident : it could be argued that the bans were justified as players were acting in defiance of the community manager ' s authority . Others point to the opinion that most of these players did not in fact breach the Codes of Conduct of Blizzard Europe ' s forum community , some going as far as to say that TotalBiscuit himself did not fall afoul of these regulations and that the ban was nothing more than an effort to silence a voice of dissent within the community who was rapidly gaining a following . What is clear however is that WoW Radio benefited significantly from the publicity of this event , some going as far as to call it a carefully orchestrated publicity stunt by station owner TotalBiscuit . As a result however , WoW Radio can no longer promote on the European forums , with those attempting to do so receiving bans without prior warning or justification . While it is clear that no - one is in possession of the full facts surrounding this debacle , some suggest that there is far more to this incident that meets the eye and go as far as to suggest that someone within Blizzard Europe is holding a grudge . This problem was only made worse when the EU Forums were spammed with multiple topics per forum advertising the site , against the wishes of WoW Radio themselves who were running a controlled , voluntary realm forum promotional campaign . Whatever Blizzard EU ' s issues with WoW Radio , no doubt compounded by the person who spammed the forums , resulted in many more 7 day suspensions . Resolution of the conflict with Blizzard EU . As of fall 2007 , station owner TotalBiscuit announced that after talking to community managers from Blizzard Europe , the past issues had been reconciled and WoW Radio had since been supported on the EU forums and community watch segment of the website .
