- "Highway Star" by Deep Purple automatically plays during "Clean and Serene", the first mission of The Lost and Damned, when the player picks Billy Grey up from rehab.
- One of the station's stingers contains the opening few seconds of "Dead in Hollywood" by the Murderdolls. Other stingers contain the opening riff of "I Don't Wanna Be Me" by Type O Negative and the bass riff of "No Way" by Korn.
- "Cry" by Godley & Creme is featured in the PC trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV, and "Wild Side" by Mötley Crüe features in the second trailer for The Lost and Damned.

- When "Five to One" comes on, Iggy sometimes introduces The Doors as "The band that Vice City tried to arrest".
