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 are included even though none of their songs appear on the station. In addition, no song titles from the band are seen in the file "american.gxt", but DJ commentary in the station's files includes intros for one of Go West's songs:

Appearances[]

  • Michael Jackson's "Another Part of Me" can be briefly heard in one of the stingers for the station.[citation/verification needed]
  • Evan Moss sings along to "Maneater" by Hall & Oates in the opening cutscene of the mission Bang Bang.
  • "The Look" by Roxette plays in one of The Ballad of Gay Tony trailers.
    • This song, along with "Love Changes (Everything)" by Climie Fisher and "Maneater" by Hall & Oates can be heard during private dances in strip clubs.

Gallery[]

There are no billboards for this station in the city but posters[6] 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.
  • "Maneater" by Hall & Oates was sampled from "We're Live (Danger)" by Royce Da 5'9", which can be heard on Game Radio in Grand Theft Auto III.
