Civilian Radio is a hidden radio station. It contains commentary from civilians both within and outside of the Exclusion Zone. Supposedly, the frequency is randomized, though in game files appears as 91.2 MHz.

Transcript

The following is the complete transcript with times taken from media/radio/RadioData.xml
Note that each entry can only be seen once by the player. Multiple times for a single entry represent times when the entry is viewable, not that it appears multiple times for a single player. Some entries are repeated, meaning that each may be viewed once, even though the content is the same.

As of today I'm breaking with the schedule.
You'll notice you haven't heard Tim the past few days.
No recipes. No weather. No Tim.
He's inside the Exclusion Zone.
He doesn't even know we had to put the dog to sleep.
If you know anything, anything at all...
...find a way to talk to us.
The phones are cut-off.
The roads have checkpoints.
This is too big.
Way too big for us to just... believe...
...what they say.

LBMW this morning: tellin' us to 'stay indoors'.
Thanks guys. How about you actually do some reports?
Tell us what's going on in there.
You can't just turn out the lights over that many counties.
It's 1993, not the dark ages.
You can't keep a lid on this stuff.

Good day folks. I just got back from a drive.
I thought I'd try to check out the camp over on the Event border.
Didn't get very far.
I even tried this little back road. All blocked.
One way traffic.
Guns at each checkpoint.
They say they're protecting us.
You feel safe yet?

They're dying in there, we know that right?
I'm watching the TV. Listening to the radio.
I'm sorry to use the word but it's all... bull crap.
Reporters over there, sitting in bed with the Army.
Feeding off their scraps.
We KNOW there are guns being fired.
We KNOW they didn't all catch cold.
We KNOW those people are..
...changed somehow.
That's what I heard.


Day: 2 Start time: 3240 End time: 3600

Sorry for disappearing this morning guys.
We had a major convoy headed through towards the Exclusion border.
The things I'm saying - not many folks are saying them out loud.
I got jumpy.
Thought they were here for me.
Guess they have bigger fish to fry.


Day: 2 Start time: 3600 End time: 3930

They're pushing back the exclusion boundary.
I can't tell you where I am, but I think I'm gonna be left inside.
I'm going to stay, and I'm going to keep on talking to you.
I'm taking my equipment.
I'm gonna hide someplace wild when they come.

I've seen a picture, maybe you have too.
It's from West Point, taken a few days ago I guess.
The film got out. Got processed.
There's this guy. Blood round his mouth.
Arm hanging on him by a thread.
Still walking.
Still walking in this street full of corpses.
We know the truth now.
The truth is... pure hell.
We KNOW we're being lied to.

You know why they don't care, right?
You know why the world can just sit by?
Watch a community blink out?
It's because we're poor.
If this was New York, or Chicago or... anywhere.
People would care. They'd be up in arms.
The media would give a shit.
We don't get movies made about us.
We're not interesting.
We just live a hard life as best we can.
Only, that's not enough.
So we're on our own.


Day: 4 Start time: 6120 End time: 6480

Okay people I need you to listen up.
Right now!
They're shooting anyone that goes to leave.
There's no checks.
They don't examine for any infection.
They shout a warning, then you get a bullet.
I'm in a camp just south of the river.
We don't know where to go.
Why the hell didn't I just run?
Jesus...


Day: 6 Start time: 9000 End time: 9360

Text
We can't go out, so we're going to head in.
We're hoping Muldraugh or West Point will have supplies.
Maybe some other people caught up in all this shit.
My radio gear needs power.
So, unless we find someplace...
... I don't know.
I'll see you later on down the trail...

It's spread.
Someone I met, she told me it's spread.
She said she'd been listening to me, and had I heard.
It's in the UK now. Africa too.
How is that possible?
There's no flights, there's no way...
This could be it... couldn't it?
Fuck.

They walked into camp during the night.
I don't know if this pack still has any charge but...
If you can hear this... we're...
Shit, I don't even know where we are.

This is Hal broadcasting out of Nashville.
We're in the Nashville Air Guard Base.
Right by the airport.
I'm going to broadcast every night at this time.
We're protected here - fortifications, guns.
There's a hell of a lot of dead people outside but we're safe.
If you can get here we have food and beds.
You'll just need to find a way to distract the...
... horde that's at our gates.
That'd be one hell of a favor anyways.
Friendlies only.
You can trust us, but be aware that we will not trust you.
Not for a while.
Though God knows if you can fly a plane we'll let you right in.

We're protected here - fortifications, guns, beds.
There's a crowd outside, and it's growing.
But we're alive.
We have supplies to share.
Friendlies only.
No weapons.
We have trust issues just like you do.
Ignore the 'do not travel' bull crap.
No one is coming for you.
You'll be safe here.

I'm broadcasting every night at this time.
We've got something going here.
Defences, food, beds, water.
You'll have to get through a wall of zeds.
But once you're through somehow...
... you'll be okay.
We have supplies to share.
Ignore the 'do not travel' shit.
Whoever recorded that is long gone.
No one is coming for you.
Come to us.
You will be safe.

This is Hal broadcasting out of Nashville.
We're just outside the airport.
I'm broadcasting every night at this time.
We have power and we're sitting on a ration mountain.
I'm trying to tell people, but nobody's coming.
We've cleared some of the dead outside.
It's as safe as it will ever be.
We've got something going here.
Defences, food, beds, water.
Ignore the 'do not travel' shit.
Noone is coming for you.
You can trust us.
This is not some sick joke.
Come to us.

This is Hal broadcasting out of Nashville.
We're in the Air National Guard Base.
I'm broadcasting every night at this time.
Today we had four people get to the camp...
... but we have room for more.
I know there's more Immune out there.
I know you're listening.
That safe house won't last forever.
You know where we are.
Come to us.
You will be safe.

This is Hal broadcasting out of Nashville.
We're in the Air National Guard Base.
I'm broadcasting every night at this time.
We're starting to fill up people...
... we've taken a vote and soon we raise the drawbridge.
It's a democracy over here still.
If you're immune and you want in, you come NOW.
You don't have to be hungry any more.
We're not hungry here.
Come to us.
You will be safe.

This is Zach broadcasting.
We just took over a fortification at the Air National Guard Base.
It's close to Nashville. Right by the airport.
I'm going to broadcast every night here from now on.
The group who were here got overrun.
They're gone now, and so are the dead.
We've rebuilt fortifications. We have guns.
We have food.
We need fresh blood - we need survivors.
Come as soon as you can.
Friendlies only.
No guns.

This is Zach broadcasting.
Three days ago we took over...
... this fortification at the Air National Guard Base.
It's close to Nashville. Right by the airport.
I'm going to broadcast every night.
The Immune who were here got run out of town.
The Dead got to them.
We've rebuilt their defences.
We need you: we've got the supplies, we just need the people.
You don't have to be hungry any more.
Friendlies only.

Trivia

  • Both entries with yellow text fall under a ScriptEntry tag with a name of kanibals, potentially hinting at their true intentions...
  • The kanibals entry begins on day 0, which implies the infection already hit Nashville and broke loose past the Knox containment center to neighboring Tennessee. This is most likely an oversight by the Indie Stone developers.
