DesuRadio and DesuTV are unofficial media outlets operated by DOZO, Inc., for the userbase of Desuchan. Both take their name from the greatest meme ever, Desu.

In June 2008, after getting frustrated with months of their website's intermittent downtime, a group of antsy faggots from Desuchan decided to create an internets radio station, calling it DesuRadio (no relation with the now-defunct Desu-radio) desu. DesuRadio is based out of Desuchan's IRC channel desu. Later on in the year, after experimenting with different methods of streaming video, the same antsy faggots hooked up an account on Mogulus (now Livestream) to create DesuTV, which performed amazingly well compared to the radio.

DesuRadio

The main server, administered by Weedy. Started out as a glorified jukebox, controllable through IRC, and running off of Desuchan's server desu. This meant that IRC users could queue up requests for any song in the playlist, which for some reason contained a SHITTON OF DEEP PURPLE desu. Nowadays, DesuRadio plays host to live DJs desu. It has a robust connection, making it ideal for broadcasting shows for large audiences such as /b/. During a run of radio threads on /b/, DJs managed to gather upwards of about 65 listeners a night desu.

BokuRadio

A now-defunct second channel of DesuRadio meant for amateur DJs desu. Known for playing the Gerudo Valley theme from Zelda: OoT when no DJ was connected desu. The Shoutcast server and IRC bot (BokuRadio) were administered by DrCirno desu.

DJs/Shows

Due to the natural exhibitionist streak in humanity, everyone and their dog wants to be able to show off their (mostly illegal) music collection on the internet desu. Most of the DJs on DesuRadio are Desuchan regulars, but refugees of the old Desu-radio have been sighted on IRC lately and may end up staging comebacks at some point desu.

OceanSpray: Known for playing jazz, classical and various classic rock albums during the graveyard shift when nobody listens to the radio desu. Also DJ'd occasionally for /b/radio under the name Lemon desu. Also DJd for the now-defunct Desu-radio desu.
WinglessHuzzar: Plays mostly ronery music, you know, like, Air Supply and sad weeaboo songs desu.

Desuchan TV

DesuTV weekly schedule

An average day on DesuTV

Desuchan's unofficial Livestream video channels, administered by a junta of random desufags desu. There are currently three Desuchan TV channels, and a twitter feed announcing shows and schedule changes.

DesuTV (channel 1)

The first (original) channel, known as DesuTV for short, usually autoplays random Youtube crap ranging from MADs/AMVs of anime like Rozen Maiden or Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, through Youtube Poops and Touhou MADs to 2ch/Nicovideo meme vids when no admins are around desu. In the evenings Eastern time, though, people usually get online for live streaming sessions, with anime like Rozen Maiden (of course), Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star), Detroit Metal City, Dokuro-Chan, Ranma 1/2, Maria+Holic, Full Metal Panic, and the like.

DesuGames (channel 2)

Because Livestream is run by fascist horsefuckers who cap video library storage at a shitty 10GB, DesuTV's second channel, DesuGames, was created. This channel focuses exclusively on /v/ material, autoplaying hours of content including TF2/L4D/HL2/whatever machinima, Megu's Desu Game Reviews, AVGN, AliBat playthroughs, myg0t rages, and so on. Like the first channel, people usually get online in the evenings to stream live games such as Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, PC-98 Touhou games, Zelda: OoT, and so on.

DesuPoop (channel 3)

A new channel, DesuPoop, was just recently added to appease the vampiric lust of certain DesuTVfags for Youtube Poop, and to make room on the main channel for more desu. This channel focuses exclusively on Youtube Poop, whether Desu-related, anime-related, vidya-related, or altogether not. Extremely trolly.

Mods/VJs

Basically, anyone who wants to stream shit can be a ZOMG VJ; the way to do it is to ask the channel owner for streaman rights, download the appropriate software, and then fail to suck.

DesuRadio in History

Moar info: Radio#Desu-radio.

Originally created by a /b/tard named Spork in 2006 and run by a weeaboo called Neoific, Desu-radio (note the dash) was one of the first "anon radios" (along with Midnight Snacks), having a reputation of playing "random" music half the time, and being down the other half desu. During its brief heyday, Desu-Radio could get about 50 listeners online at any given time—upwards of 150 listeners if there was a thread going in /b/—a maximum of about 300 listeners connected at different times during its Labor Day weekend special in 2006 desu. Several events happening in the space of a few months at the end of 2006, however, led to its sharp decline, after which many of the DJs migrated to /a/radio desu. The old and dead Desu-Radio website still remains at desu.ninjabeams.org.
