OLDEST
CONTINUOUS RADIO STREAM IN SECOND LIFE WAS BEGUN JUNE 12, 2005
Arinultra Cay, Second Life T1Radio announced their plans for party on
June 14, 2015 to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
The party will take place from 3 to 7pm at
Relay dAlliez and will feature T1Radio's current air-staff, alumni and special
surprise guests.
T1, the long time Official Broadcaster of Relay For Life of Second Life, is the sponsor
of the Relay Rockers team, and the party will be held as a benefit for Relay.
In January 2005, Trader Whiplash, who began the station
along with Nuala Maracas, was a host for the late Alliez Mysterio's La Vie En
Rose. When Alliez and Tony Beckett
decided to begin broadcasting to the club as Radio dAlliez, Trader was given
the opportunity to learn to DJ. He
crafted his sets around classic rock and roll, a change from the pop and
electronic music popular in SL clubs at that time. The station broadcasted to La Vie en Rose and
the Rue dAlliez sim, one of the first private 'islands' created in world. By June of 2005 Alliez and Tony had turned
their attention to the establishment of dAlliez Estates and were about to close
the station and the club when Trader reached an agreement to maintain both. He
changed the name to T1Radio and along with his best friend Nuala Maracas, began
to build a staff. Early members of
T1Radio included Anthony Wesburn, Java Mama,
Sassyblonde Hebert and Rex Tardis, and Radio Riel's Gabby Riel. Diana 'Dee' Wolfe and Madelyn Majestic also
joined the station and continue to broadcast weekly shows.
The station remained in Rue dAlliez where it operated its
home base club LEGENDS Classic Rock until 2011 when it moved to its own sim.
T1Radio and Relay For Life have become almost synonymous.
When Jade Lily organized the first Relay For Life in Second Life T1Radio was
there to support the fundraising.
Trader, a leukemia survivor, Nuala and Alliez began a team based at La
Vie en Rose. The team became known as
the Relay Rockers and has participated in every Relay held in world. In 2006
T1Radio was asked to fill in when the scheduled audio was unable to continue
following a grid crash and Trader and T1 stepped in and rocked the track well
into the night. The following year
Fayandria Foley asked T1 to return and thus began a 10 year relationship between
the biggest event and the oldest station in Second Life. In 2014 the American Cancer Society and Relay
For Life recognized Trader, Nuala and T1Radio for its dedication and
contributions to what has become one of the largest Relay For Life fundraisers
in the world by inducting them in the RFL of SL Hall of Honor.
Today T1Radio remains a fun station with friendly DJs,
great mixes of music and 24/7 Classic Rock the Way YOU Like It. Hosts and DJs can apply to T1 by contacting Trader,
Nuala or LEGENDS Manager Xyza Armistice.
T1Radio, Trader and Nuala remain dedicated to providing
entertaining music for everyone. They remain dedicated to supporting Relay For
Life as well as the Dreams community and the AviChoice Awards.
