 * Another stinger makes the statement, "When the rock on your radio sounds like rap... I'm sorry, did I say rap? I meant sh--." This is a take on the trend of rap rock and nu metal that was common in American rock music during the 1990s and early 2000s.
 * "Dominon" by The Sisters of Mercy, "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges, "Remedy" by The Black Crowes, "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath and "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy play in the background during Iggy's dialogue in-between songs.
 * "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges is incorrectly credited by ZiT solely to Iggy Pop.
 * When "Five to One" comes on, Iggy sometimes introduces The Doors as "The band that Vice City tried to arrest". This is a reference to a Doors concert in Miami (Vice City's real counterpart) in 1969 at the Dinner Key Auditorium where singer Jim Morrison allegedly exposed himself to the audience along with using obscenities which resulted in his arrest and a court trial in 1970.
 * During his monologues, Iggy Pop can say: "You know what I hate? Peanut butter. It sticks to your nipples". This is a reference to the concerts of The Stooges, where Iggy Pop was coated with peanut butter.
 * A sticker of the station's logo can be seen on the abandoned skateboarding store near Popular Street Unit 124 in Grand Theft Auto V.
 * "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks briefly appears in the The Cayo Perico Heist update for Grand Theft Auto Online as Jimmy Iovine's (the producer of the song) ringtone.
