If you want it to sound the most natural, this is how I would write it:
I called in to one of our radio stations.
They were asking questions as part of a trivia program about IT technologies.
One of them was about Kaspersky program.
I won a backpack as the prize for answering correctly, and they said I could go to their station and get it.
Does this make sense? Do you see why it sounds smoother?

@AnastasiaI here is my suggestion:
I called in to one of our radio stations.
They had some questions as a game. [This sounds a little bit awkward, but to make it sound natural I would have to change the wording a lot. You could say something like: They had a trivia game with questions, or They had a game where they were asking some questions. But the way you worded it is completely understandable, just not exactly like a native speaker.]
It was a program about IT technologies.
They had a question about [the?] Kaspersky program.
I won a backpack for answering correctly.
That was the prize.
They said I could go to their station and get the backpack I won.
What is this writing for? Most of your sentences are correct, but the way they sound together is a bit awkward - you could combine some of them to make it smoother. Unless for some reason you want this "choppy" style.

@AnastasiaI For sharing with a friend, you definitely don't need to worry about those things as much! It sounded a little bit like a writing assignment for a class, which was why I asked.
I'm glad it helps!
