Double Clef FM (incorrectly spelled Cleff in GTA III) is a radio station featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories that plays classical music.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto III[]
The station features music from various Italian operas. It is hosted by Morgan Merryweather, who appears as one of the station's phone-in's in GTA Liberty City Stories.
The station attempts to present an aura of "high-brow, illustrated connoisseurs", though Merryweather's dialogue displays his poor cultural knowledge, through his mentions of "reading Proust in the original Italian" and references to Fellini's "Lolita".
This is the favorite radio station of the Leone Crime Family, Sindacco Crime Family and Forelli Crime Family.
In the The Definitive Edition of GTA III, the station anachronistically uses the station's logo from GTA Liberty City Stories on the Radio Wheel.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the station is hosted by Sergio Boccino.

Trivia[]
- In GTA III, at one point Morgan Merryweather says "Now, more hits from the '60s... 1760s that is...". However, no music from that decade appears on the station in either game.
- The oldest pieces of music in the Grand Theft Auto series can be heard on this station: Mozart's "Non più andrai farfallone amoroso" (GTA III) and "Overture" (GTA Liberty City Stories), both of them are from his 1786 opera "The Marriage of Figaro".
- Even though the trailer for The Definitive Edition of GTA III uses "O mio babbino caro", the track itself was not included in the game.
Oversights[]
