GTA Radio (Radio)	comment	GTA Radio is an extensive Show Within a Show within the Grand Theft Auto universe. Although an early form existed in Grand Theft Auto 2, it started when radio personality Lazlow Jones was hired to produce the radio shows for the series. Starting with Grand Theft Auto III, he created a whole series of fake stations, with the only thing real being the music (either originally produced for the games or, more commonly, licensed). Otherwise, the commercials, DJs and shows are spoofs of those on actual radio (including where he spoofs himself).The variety of stations in each game alone is enormous, covering talk radio, rock, rap, electronica, country, reggae, dance, and others. The DJs are just as colorful.In Grand Theft Auto IV, this even expanded to full TV shows and the Internet, parodying reality TV, Fox News, PBS, talk shows, anime, friending networks, get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, and more.Now included with character sheet in the works.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_120d0e3f	type	Adam Westing
GTA Radio (Radio) / int_120d0e3f	comment	Adam Westing Lazlow is written and voiced by real-life radio host Lazlow Jones, who delights in making his character as reprehensible as possible. Lazlow's real-life colleague and friend, Michael "Couzin Ed" Andrews, first appeared in Vice City as the previous host of V-Rock who crank calls his replacement, Lazlow. In San Andreas, Forth Right MC, the self-righteous Malcolm Xerox host of Playback FM, is voiced by Chuck D of Public Enemy, a band famous for its militant lyrics. In IV, the host of Studio K109 is "DJ Karl", an arrogant eurotrash Cloudcuckoolander constantly ranting about fashion. He is voiced by fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld. In the PC version of V, The Lab is hosted by "Dr. No and The Chemical Bro", who are voiced by Oh No and The Alchemist, two of the people behind GTA V's original soundtrack.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_16e94b0a	type	Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll
GTA Radio (Radio) / int_16e94b0a	comment	Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll Jimmy Gestapo, DJ of IV' punk station Liberty City Hardcore, rants at length about the extremely hard-drinking, hard-partying lifestyle that he feels punk should be. Also, Iggy Pop, DJ of IV' classic rock station Liberty Rock Radio, talks about how a lot of the best music was made on drugs, and bemoans the fact that fewer rockers nowadays use them. Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith of San Andreas' classic rock station K-DST is fond of this trope as well. Hell, the station's identifications are all narcotic plays on its nickname of "The Dust". Sage, the host of the grunge/alt-rock station Radio X, very much counts as well. In addition to his wild, likely drug-induced mood swings, Hans Oberlander of house music station SF-UR frequently references his habits between songs: Direct references aside, Boy Sanchez' (of Rise FM circa Liberty City Stories) speech patterns sound like he's high while on the air.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_177a6464	type	Genre Shift
GTA Radio (Radio) / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: Most of the stations that return from IV in Episodes From Liberty City go through this, some in more subtle ways than others: Vladivostok FM went from playing a variety of Eastern European music in IV to playing Western House Music in EFLC, making the name of the station an Artifact Title. This is especially pronounced in the Complete Edition version of the station, where both sets coexist. Electro-Choc changed from playing somewhat more underground electro house, EBM, and Post-Punk to more mainstream (in 2009) fidget house, bloghaus and even some Dub Step. LCHC went from Hardcore Punk to Death Metal. K109 The Studio went from underground disco and early House Music to focus on mainstream disco hits. San Juan Sounds has diversified beyond reggaeton, playing a variety of latin genres such as bachata and merengue. Liberty Rock Radio and Radio Broker, with the former taking a more hard rock and heavy metal direction while the latter goes for more harder edged post punk revival and industrial rock influenced sound and drops the Dance-Punk side of its playlist (unless playing on the GFWL/Xbox Live or Steam/RGSC Complete Edition versions)

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_23be181a	comment	IV gives us Richard Bastion, a jingoistic, mean-spirited conservative talk radio host who believes in establishing an American Police State and pursuing a psychopathic foreign policy (any similarities to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are purely coincidental), and Brandon Roberts, a left-wing actor whose progressive activism is strongly implied to be more about improving his public image than anything else (any similarities to George Clooney and Sean Penn are also purely coincidental). The TV, meanwhile, gives us the cartoon Republican Space Rangers, a parody of right-wing American jingoism, The War on Terror, and conservative stereotypes of liberals (especially in the episode "Homecoming", where aliens have literally taken over America and are systematically destroying its values). Finally, there's John Hunter and Michael Graves, two gubernatorial candidates who spend more time attacking each other than explaining their policies, to the point where it's tough to tell who represents which end of the political spectrum (apart from professed allegiances — Hunter a Democrat, Graves a Republican — which seem more like Informed Attributes)... which makes them similar reinforced by the fact that both sides accuse the other of supporting a retreat from The War on Terror.

Some licensed songs reference real-world locations or intellectual properties are used, despite the fact that fictional counterparts are used for some of them in the GTA universe, and no attempt is made to alter the lyrics. For example, Vice City's Wave 103 features "Kids in America" by Kim Wilde, which mentions New York and California, despite the fact that Liberty State and San Andreas have respectively replaced those states in the GTA universe. Grand Theft Auto V features "Glamorous" by Fergie, which explicitly mentions Taco Bell, despite the fact that Taco Bell doesn't exist in GTA, although a similarly named fast food chain exists called Cluckin' Bell. There are also several songs with real-world locations in their names, and DJs themselves have brought up New York City a couple times.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_259d5879	type	Anachronism Stew
GTA Radio (Radio) / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Although the radio does a good job of being strict when it comes to keeping to the years the games are set in, there are occasionally a few examples of this trope: On Wildstyle, Mr Magic claims that he is playing a world premiere of "More Bounce to the Ounce", a song which came out in 1980. San Andreas also has two songs by Ice Cube which were released in 1993. In addition, both "It Was A Good Day" and "Killing in the Name" were created in response to the 1992 LA Riots, the GTA equivalent of which doesn't occur until just before the penultimate mission, "Los Desperados". Episodes From Liberty City uses many songs created in 2009 despite taking place in 2008. The PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions of GTA V contain various songs created in 2014 onwards, despite the game taking place in 2013. This extends to the stations added in the Doomsday Heist, After Hours, Diamond Casino Heist and Cayo Perico Heist updates for Online, which is even more blatant since the Doomsday and Casino Heist updates move Online's timeline forward. The mobile version of Liberty City Stories adds songs from the 2000s despite the game being in 1998. The 2018 update to Vladivostok FM includes songs made after 2008. Since GTAIV and V takes place between 2008 and 2013 respectively, there's nothing stopping you from playing songs from 2014 and onwards, especially if it's a bought song you inserted into the User Music folder.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_391d6577	comment	Sequel Escalation: GTA 1' tiny handful of radio stations had around three songs each. By the time the IV saga rolls out, it had expanded to several hours' worth of licensed music, dedicated chat shows, celebrity DJs, advertisements, websites, and TV channels. This also extends to how the radio itself is implemented — while a radio station in previous games was simply one long audio file, San Andreas stored songs, DJ chatter, and commercials separately, allowing the game to randomize them. IV takes this even further, with a dynamic radio system that changes shows, songs, advertisements, DJ chatter, and news depending on the weather, time of day, or how far along the storyline you are.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_43b785f9	type	Nothing but Hits
GTA Radio (Radio) / int_43b785f9	comment	Nothing but Hits In Vice City, San Andreas, and Vice City Stories. However, it's averted in III, Liberty City Stories, and the HD-era games, where Rockstar went out of their way to get independent/underground artists for many stations. They also used original music for some stations in III, Liberty City Stories and, to a lesser extent, Vice City. The classic rock and oldies stations, of course, are a justified example; even in III, Flashback FM's playlist was composed entirely of songs from the Scarface soundtrack. This is lampshaded by the bumpers for Non Stop Pop FM in V, which is composed of pop hits from The '80s through the Turn of the Millennium, saying that it's the music that will last forever. Even then, though, it's an aversion of sorts, as its playlist includes a number of artists who have already faded into obscurity (does anybody remember Amerie or Jane Child?), as well as a few who only had hits in the UK (like Mis-Teeq, N-Joi, and All Saints). Possibly also justified, since Cara Delevigne, the DJ of Non-Stop-Pop FM, is British.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_450c5a85	comment	Alternate Continuity: Averted. Even as IV jettisoned the established canon and started from scratch, GTA Radio's continuity went on, with Lazlow making a return and several gags and characters from previous games (Love Fist, the Epsilon Program, Marvin Trill) being referenced. The radio is arguably the only point of continuity between the 3D and HD universes. Although V suggests that this may in fact be the case, and that the changes for the lives of the radio hosts are simply less major than the changes in continuity for the rest of the world. Notably, Fernando Martinez states in V that he's an illegal immigrant, where as in the III continuity, he was from upstate Liberty, putting on a faux foreign persona. Lazlowâ€™s appearance in V however would raise a few questions if he indeed was the very same Lazlow from all the way back The '80s in Vice City, someone who has been in the business for almost 30 years would have shown visible aging by 2013, yet he doesnâ€™t look quite old in V. Then again, it's Vinewood. Plastic surgery is par for the course.

On a national level, Australia gets this treatment, mostly as a dig to its infamous censorship laws (of which both the III and IV sagas were affected, due to the presence of prostitution). With the loosening of restrictions by the time V rolls out, however, the mockery is somewhat relaxed in favor of turning to France for national jokes.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_4b1ca7d2	comment	Genre Roulette: Some stations play a wide variety of music under the same banner. Non-Stop-Pop FM is a pop station that alternates between '80s pop, '00s R&B, eurohouse, trip-hop, '10s electro-pop, and alternative rock. WorldWide FM is whatever it feels like being. It plays "world music", but that's a blanket term for eclectic music consisting of jazz, chillout, electronica, post-dubstep, alternative hip-hop, post-rock, and minimal. Ditto for blonded Los Santos, as the station plays a mixture of funk, alternative R&B, rap, IDM, techno, grime and indie rock. FlyLo is an IDM station, but it also mixes it with trap, soul, glitch, and hip-hop. iFruit Radio plays a mixture of contemporary (circa 2019 when the station was added) trap and hip-hop, UK drill, drum and bass, bassline, electro, grime, dancehall and afrobeats. Kult FM focuses primarily on post punk and new wave, but throws in some oddball genres like dub, east coast hip hop, EBM, traditional pop and even a proto-acid house track, like a cross between Wave 103, The Classics 104.1, Electro Choc and Liberty Rock Radio.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: All of the DJs in Vice City have artwork to accompany them, which is useful as without it we would not know what they look like. In every other game there is no artwork of the DJs, with the odd exception of Karl Lagerfeld in IV. In general, III made heavy use of original tracks, something that was largely phased out but still present in Vice City (Liberty City Stories returned to using original tracks as a throwback). Additionally, stations in III and Vice City used clean tracks, most apparent with Game Radio but also cropped up in Wave 103 with the song "Love Missile F-11" by Sigue Sigue Sputnik (though the uncensored version of "Never Say Never" by Romeo Void is played on the station) and DJs would chastise callers for using harsher swears on the airwaves. This was dropped by the time the profanity laden San Andreas came out. In terms of characters, those who listened to the Lazlow of IV and V where he was really full of himself who then go on to hear his debut in III will likely be taken aback by how much of the Only Sane Man he was back then. Almost any of his responses to the Chatterbox callers' weirdness (or his two guest stars) is endless snarking or pure disbelief compared to how he'd be in later games.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_6627695f	comment	Author Appeal: A disproportionate number of radio tracks were also featured on the 80s TV series Miami Vice - not only in Vice City, obviously, but in subsequent games such as San Andreas and V. Notably, these even include Don Johnson's largely forgotten song Heartbeat. This reflects the fact that the very first GTA game was at least partly inspired by the 1986 licensed video game of Miami Vice. Being that Rockstar is from Britain (more specifically, Scotland), Non-Stop-Pop features a disproportionate amount of British artists, even when it doesn't make much sense. While some of them are feasible as they have following stateside (Gorillaz, M.I.A., Naked Eyes, Wham!, Pet Shop Boys), quite a few are considered One Hit Wonders across the Atlantic (Dirty Vegas, All Saintsnote half of whom are Canadian, but the point still stands), but others are almost completely unheard of despite being popular back home (Living in a Box, Moloko, Morcheeba, N-Joi, Jamiroquai, Robbie Williams, Sneaker Pimps, Bronski Beat, Mis-Teeq, Blow Monkeys). With the next-gen version, the British artists outnumber the Americans. The fact that it's hosted by the British Cara Delevingne adds to this. Moreover, many of the non-British artists are also European, which leaves Americans in an even bigger minority despite being a pop station set in the US.

V's own punk station, Channel X, has a more mild case of this. It originally had bands that originated from southern California, yet the enhanced version adds songs from the Canadian band D.O.A. and the Texas bands D.R.I. and MDC. WorldWide FM, from GTA V again, originally had worldbeat music, electro, ambient & chillout music, with a bit of jazz thrown in. While the PS4, Xbox One & PC versions added a few foreign language songs, they also added hip-hop & rap, which doesn't really belong to a worldbeat radio station. As of The Contract, West Coast Classics occasionally plays east coast hip-hop as well. Justified in that all songs on this version of the station were produced by Dr. Dre.

It attempts to invoke America the Beautiful with its idealization of Everytown, America, but instead becomes the very definition of America the Boorish with its display of all manner of viciously bigoted sentiments.

Also, according to San Andreas' WCTR News, CDs are turning children into killers.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_9a7f6233	comment	Fictional Video Game: Vice City has commercials on its radio stations for the Degenetron game system, which features such titles as Defender of the Faith ("Destroy the blue dots with your powerful red square!"). In San Andreas, they appear on retro arcade machines. You can't play them, but you can play the "emulator" on the defictionalised Degenatron "fansite." III also has ads for Pogo the Monkey, which is later referenced by a Pogo the Monkey arcade in the cab firm from Vice City. IV has Civil Service, a parody of SimCity which encourages the player to favor big business and keep down minorities. Episodes from Liberty City also has ads for Deity, a god game in the vein of Black & White. V takes this trope full circle with Righteous Slaughter 7, a parody of video game violence of the sort that GTA itself had long indulged in, as well as Franchise Zombie sequels and derivative FPS games. The gameplay footage we see is essentially Call of Duty meets Postal. While it doesn't turn those who play it into murderous psychopaths, it does seem to turn them into foul-mouthed, bigoted assholes, judging by what we see of the people who play it. There's also Pride Not Prejudice, a Deep South-themed FPS advertised on the radio. The Diamond Casino Heist update for GTA Online added a Video Arcade as a new hideout, and as part of the business management minigame, you can purchase and install a slew of fictional arcade machines based on various games from the '80s and '90s, all of them fully playable.

And just like Hunter and Graves before them, they spend time attacking each other in campaign ads, but this time they at least care enough to explain their agendas (which brutally parodies extremes of the American political spectrum). Also, as seen in this trailer, cartoons airing include Impotent Rage, a parody of Captain Planet and the Planeteers and the "limousine liberal" stereotype, and Kung Fu Rainbow Lazer Force, a parody of conservative Christian Moral Substitutes and the Religious Right in the vein of Power Rangers, both parodying hypocritical moralizing on both sides.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_a3a838c7	comment	Values Resonance: Invoked In-Universe by the Moorehead Rides Again radio drama from Vice City Stories' Vice City Public Radio (VCPR), a parody of hard-boiled Private Detectives such as Mike Hammer. While the show was said to have originally aired near the end of World War II, back when fear of communism creeping into America is slowly giving way to the social nightmare that was McCarthyism, it resonates with American sentiments around forty years later (i.e., 1984, the setting of the game), in light of intensifying tensions between America and the Soviet Union (one that began with the latter's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979), long before Mikhail Gorbachev came in an the USSR dissolved. By the 2010's, the show's subsequent Animated Adaptation is now airing on the in-universe AMC analogue "CNT", and is advertised as being from a time when misogyny and racism was cool — parodying AMC's occasionally tone-deaf promos for Mad Men, where the sexist nature of Don Draper and his associates is completely glossed over in favour of romanticizing The '60s.

Most of them are deadpan serious though. K-DST's Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith even shows genuine concern for the citizens and urges them to try to stay out of harm's way. The scripts return to normal once it ends, and due to the open ended nature of the game, cannot be accessed again unless you start a new game and go through the whole story all over again.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_e2023325	type	StrawmanPolitical
GTA Radio (Radio) / int_e2023325	comment	Strawman Political: Many times, directed against both sides. Vice City brings us Pastor Richards and Alex Shrub. The former is a corrupt televangelist with an outsized ego who rails against moral degeneracy while, going by his Freudian slips, keeping multiple mistresses and embezzling money from his church to build himself a mansion in Hawaii (any similarities to Jim Bakker or Jimmy Swaggart are purely coincidental). The latter is a thinly-veiled Take That! at "Reaganomics", an empty suit who uses blatant spin to cover up Vice City's decline under his term, supports stripping away regulations and legalizing dangerous consumer products proven to kill their users, and calls for a ban on pornography while simultaneously engaging in cross-dressing and an affair with famous porn star Candy Suxxx. San Andreas has Peyton (liberal) and Mary (conservative) Phillips, husband-and-wife hosts of WCTR's "I Say/You Say" segment, are a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of James Carville and Mary Matalin, political consultants of opposing beliefs who started dating (and eventually married) while working on behalf of Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, respectively, during the 1992 Presidential elections. IV gives us Richard Bastion, a jingoistic, mean-spirited conservative talk radio host who believes in establishing an American Police State and pursuing a psychopathic foreign policy (any similarities to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are purely coincidental), and Brandon Roberts, a left-wing actor whose progressive activism is strongly implied to be more about improving his public image than anything else (any similarities to George Clooney and Sean Penn are also purely coincidental). The TV, meanwhile, gives us the cartoon Republican Space Rangers, a parody of right-wing American jingoism, The War on Terror, and conservative stereotypes of liberals (especially in the episode "Homecoming", where aliens have literally taken over America and are systematically destroying its values). Finally, there's John Hunter and Michael Graves, two gubernatorial candidates who spend more time attacking each other than explaining their policies, to the point where it's tough to tell who represents which end of the political spectrum (apart from professed allegiances — Hunter a Democrat, Graves a Republican — which seem more like Informed Attributes)... which makes them similar reinforced by the fact that both sides accuse the other of supporting a retreat from The War on Terror. In Episodes from Liberty City there's "John Smith", a parody of Alex Jones and right-wing conspiracy theorists in general. He entertains, and often voices, every single crazy conspiracy theory and bit of general paranoia and racism his listeners phone in with, and only hangs up on an obvious neo-Nazi not because he has any standards, but because he doesn't want another fine — the keyword being "another", implying that this has happened before, which speaks volumes about his target audience. He also interviews Abigail Grayson, a Crazy Survivalist soccer mom with extra emphasis on the "Crazy". V continues this tradition with Jock Cranley and Sue Murry, the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor of San Andreas, respectively. And just like Hunter and Graves before them, they spend time attacking each other in campaign ads, but this time they at least care enough to explain their agendas (which brutally parodies extremes of the American political spectrum). Also, as seen in this trailer, cartoons airing include Impotent Rage, a parody of Captain Planet and the Planeteers and the "limousine liberal" stereotype, and Kung Fu Rainbow Lazer Force, a parody of conservative Christian Moral Substitutes and the Religious Right in the vein of Power Rangers, both parodying hypocritical moralizing on both sides. There's also a new episode of Republican Space Rangers that acts as a Take That! towards the Tea Party movement.

The only song in the game with lyrics is the theme song remix with Ghostface Killah and MF Doom, and that's only in the PlayStation Portable and mobile ports! Additionally, most stations are dedicated to and named after either a single artist, such as deadmau5 or Alchemist, or to a record label like DFA or Truth + Soul. The outliers are Turntables on the Hudson, a music festival, and SinoWav FM, a fictional station playing traditional Chinese music.

GTA Radio (Radio) / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement From IV onwards, many radio stations have been based on real stations right down to their DJ's. Examples include Massive B Soundsystem 96.9, Tuff Gong Radio (which exclusively plays music by Bob Marley and his sons) and V's Soulwax FM and FlyLo FM. blonded Los Santos from V was based on an online radio show on Apple Music hosted by Frank Ocean, while Worldwide FM was influenced by Gilles Peterson's real life show Worldwide on Radio 1. The stations of Chinatown Wars are named after and consist entirely of songs by the eponymous artists or from the label the station is named after. In-Universe, the characters of Moorhead Rides Again all smoke Redwood Cigarettes, and the show takes every opportunity it can to remind us of this.

On III's "Chatterbox FM", a man calls in to talk about eating wildlife, especially pigeons, noting that some of them have "little notes attached, like a fortune cookie with wings". Later, a woman from anti-technology pressure group Citizens Raging Against Phones (CRAP) calls in, mentioning the difficulty of organizing meetings without phones, resorting instead to using carrier pigeons and noting that they keep disappearing. Another part of the show has a disturbed British immigrant calling in to tell Lazlow about how he was spanked by his nanny as a child and that he needs one again because he's "been a very naughty boy". A few minutes later, a woman calls to complain about how rude people around her tend to be, mentioning that she's told her hired nanny to teach her kids manners- the very next caller is the British man again, still going on about nannies for five seconds before Lazlow cuts him off. Also on III, a caller calls Lazlow about Killer Bees. On LCFR, a caller who is disgusted about honey because it contains "bee shit" warns Lazlow about the killer bees. One caller to Chatterbox in III calls to claim "everyone knows that women are made from sand". Nine years earlier in San Andreas, Marvin Trill opens the first "Area 53" segment on WCTR with several questions, including "are women made from sand?"
