Vice City FM is a radio station appearing in the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, and disc version of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City. The station plays '80s.

Description
The station is hosted by Fernando Martinez, who was the DJ on Emotion 98.3 in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The station is named after the city of Vice City, and replaces The Vibe 98.8 from Grand Theft Auto IV.

This is one of Tony Prince's favorite radio stations. Bernie Crane enjoys this station along with K109 The Studio and IF99.

Deleted Songs
Inspection of the game's "american.gxt" files reveals that the following songs were due to appear on the station but did not make it to the final game: In The Ballad of Gay Tony a number of bands are listed on a poster advertising this station around Liberty City. Go West and Tears For Fears are included even though none of their songs appear on the station. In addition, no song titles from the two bands are seen in the file "american.gxt", but DJ commentary in the station's files includes intros or outros for:
 * Belouis Some - "Imagination" (1985)

Gallery
There are no billboards for this station in the city but posters can be seen exclusively in The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Trivia

 * The style of writing on the station logo is the exact same as the logo used on the front of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City instruction manual and the splash screen seen while quitting the game in the PC version.
 * In PC versions of GTA IV: The Complete Edition, Niko will ask taxi drivers to put on The Journey when selecting this station. This appears to be due to a bug that scrambled all of the quotes for asking the taxi driver to put on a station, especially since there are no lines for Niko requesting Vice City FM, RamJam FM, or Self-Actualization FM.
