San Juan Sounds is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City that plays Reggaetón, Latin Hip-Hop, Merengue and Bachata.
Description[]
The station is named after the city of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, where Reggaetón music originated in the early 1990s before its mainstream success in the United States in the mid-2000s.
The station is hosted by Daddy Yankee in GTA IV and Henry Santos in EFLC. Yankee is a pioneering Reggaetón artist, who was one of the founders of Reggaetón in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s while Henry Santos is a member of the Bachata group Aventura.
The station is sponsored by the Mas Fuego energy drink, and plays Spanish versions of Excelsior Extreme 9, The Horn Deodorant and Whiz Wireless commercials while in the EFLC rendition the station plays in a continuous loop and contains no commercials.

Deleted Songs[]
"Dale Don Dale" by Don Omar (2003) can be heard during the opening cutscene of Buyer's Market despite the fact that it wasn't included in the soundtrack of The Lost and Damned. It is possible that it was planned to appear as part of The Ballad of Gay Tony expansion on San Juan Sounds, as this station already features two songs by Don Omar. Following the April 2018 patch it was replaced with "Swing Ya Rag" by T.I. feat. Swizz Beatz (2008) which can be heard in The Beat 102.7.
