Pilki FM
The station will return on 26/07/08
Pilki FM is an online radio station dedicated to Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. The station re-broadcasts all 94 of the trio's shows from London station Xfm in chronological order and is streamed live 24/7. It was set up by Pilkipedia's own Gtpod who claims the station was a product of "procrastination and boredom". Pilki FM allows fans to listen to the exact same shows/moments at the same time, thereby making conversations both on Pilkipedia's forum and IRC channel more focused.
The Station
Pilki FM's studio, as briefly explained in one of the station's original links, is comprised of a personal computer in a humble bedroom, with basic input and recording hardware/software. The computer is left on 24/7 (assuredly in the most eco-friendly manner possible) broadcasting through Shoutcast GUI software using SAM Broadcaster. Playlists currently featuring all of the RSK Xfm shows cycle every 4 days.

Jingles/Links
Originally the station's manager and creator Gtpod recorded links and created jingles for the station, which are still played routinely in between episodes, but recently forum users have been encouraged to record and send in their own links for use in bridging the shows.
