Enclave Radio

A Radio station run by the Enclave and broadcast from the Raven Rock mountain complex. It is hosted by President John Henry Eden and airs patriotic music, as well as President Eden's "frank discussions". The Enclave has dispatched a number of Eyebots to ensure that citizens without a radio can hear the broadcasts.

Megaton resident Nathan is revealed to be a big fan of this station and the Enclave as a whole; he is often heard humming tunes from the station's broadcasts.

At the beginning of the game, this is the only station the player can receive; while Galaxy News Radio's broadcast range begins just a small walk to the south of the Vault 101 entrance, the signal is too weak to be more than static, and Agatha's Station is off-line.

The station plays a small handful of patriotic songs, broken up by long monologues from President Eden. One discusses his love of baseball in detail, while another mentions his childhood pet, but all generally end with a patriotic message and his pledge that the Enclave will save America. One such monologue reveals Eden's hatred for the pre-war government, referring to them as "half-wits" and "idiots" who caused The Great War with their "incompetence," while another is a vague discussion of Eden's right to be president; he says that there obviously must have been an election ("it's every American's God-given right to vote"), but he can't go into the details for "reasons of national security," and that he will of course surrender his post when his term is up, without stating when that is.

While the player is working through The Waters of Life, Enclave soldiers will begin attacking; at this point, the station messages will change to include a variety of messages from President Eden discussing how the Enclave is now "in your cities, in your homes, and in your life" as they pursue their goals of bringing America back.

A few NPCs point out the repetitive nature of the Enclave Radio broadcast, and question whether it is a live broadcast or an old pre-War recording that's been on infinite loop for decades.

This station will be taken offline if you convince President John Henry Eden to destroy himself along with the Enclave base at Raven Rock in the course of the American Dream quest.

After entering the Jefferson Memorial,President Eden sounds as if he is saying "Stand now,at the precepice" repeatedly. Citation needed.

Trivia
President John Henry Eden's Discussions are loosely based upon the "Fireside Chats" broadcasted by President Roosevelt during the Great Depression. Much like the enclave Radio, these promise reform, change, and ask that people support the U.S. Government.

The song Stars and Stripes Forever is played with president Eden talking over it, in an identical manner to a scene in the film A Boy And His Dog.

One of John Henry Eden's thoughts on the Enclave radio is reminiscent of another computer game that Malcolm Macdowell, the voice of Eden, acted in. The thought is "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance", originally a well known quote by Thomas Jefferson, which is also Macdowell's climactic line in the final sequences of the game Wing Commander IV: The Price Of Freedom. Macdowell's role is that of Admiral Tolwyn, a power-crazy military commander whose goals and methods are very much similar to those of John Henry Eden in Fallout 3.

Live Enclave Radio Website
There is an Enclave Radio website, playing all of the songs above live on the internet.

The Enclave Radio website and the associated Rad-Away and Nuka Cola websites were created by a private web-designer.

Also, one should note that the website features a current 50 star US flag, opposed to the 13 star flag (one for every commonwealth) used in the fallout series
