Trivia

 * This is the favorite radio station of Patrick McReary, Phil Bell and Johnny Klebitz, and second favourite radio station of Niko Bellic.
 * This is the default station on all the Lost Motorcycle Gang member's bikes.
 * Three of the songs from the Lost and Damned soundtrack play during the game's end credits: "Every Picture Tells a Story" by Rod Stewart, "Touch Too Much" by AC/DC and "China Grove" by the Doobie Brothers.
 * During the first mission of the Lost and Damned, Clean and Serene, "Highway Star" by Deep Purple will automatically play when the player picks Billy Grey up from rehab.
 * One of the LRR Stingers contain the opening few seconds of the Murderdoll's song "Dead in Hollywood".
 * "Cry" by Godley & Creme is featured in the PC trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV.
 * The station plays at the Broker Safehouse, some Burger Shots and Cluckin' Bells, at Memory Lanes, and at Pretty Boy's garage
 * The station is hosted by Iggy Pop, frontman of The Stooges. The radio station also features the song "I Wanna be Your Dog", which was performed by The Stooges although the game credits it solely to Iggy Pop.
 * You can see Liberty Rock Radio ads in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, most notably in the manual booklet. This is strange as the station does not appear in the game and is replaced by another rock station called Prairie Cartel.
 * Song's from GTA IV's LRR soundtrack are heard in The Lost and Damned but strangely are not heard in The Ballad of Gay Tony, only the DLC soundtrack from TLAD appears in TBOGT as opposed to both soundtracks.
