"For those stuck in traffic, tune in to the Los Santos radio dial for a wide range of music styles to choose from. From the sound of the street on Radio Los Santos, Non Stop Pop FM's infectious tunes, FlyLo FMs cutting-edge dance music or the funk of Space 103.2, you won't want to sit still, even if you have been in traffic for hours." ―GTA V Website

As in previous Grand Theft Auto games, radio stations play a big part in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description

Like the weapon system, switching between radio stations is now done by bringing up a radio station wheel to jump to any station, or turn off the radio. In the PlayStation 4 version, the player can utilise the touch pad to change stations by swiping up or down. When using the radio station wheel in GTA V, or in Director Mode, the game will revert to slow motion while changing stations.

Radio interference is heard when listening to a specific station and trying to leave the zone where that signal is available. Blaine County Radio can only be selected in Blaine County and WCTR in Los Santos County. If the player leaves the county while listening to the respective station they will lose the signal and the radio will automatically switch to the next station on the radio wheel. Sometimes, if the player passes under any large structure in the game, such as a tunnel or a bridge, electromagnetic interference can be heard.

The Rebel Radio Building can be found in the Grand Senora Desert next to a broadcast tower and has external speakers playing music from the station. However, it does not match what is playing on that station at the time.

Stations

There are 22 in-game radio stations, with 21 active stations in each county and 1 custom station modified by the player. Please select a radio station to jump to its section.

The enhanced version of the game added 162 new songs (404 songs in total) spread across all radio stations, with the exception of East Los FM and Soulwax FM, which feature no new songs, and WCTR and Blaine County Radio, which are talk stations.

The Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2 update added The Lab into the game, bringing the total amount of songs to 417. Blonded Los Santos (added in GTA Online: The Doomsday Heist) adds 28 songs, Los Santos Underground Radio (added in GTA Online: After Hours) adds 65 songs and iFruit Radio (added in GTA Online: The Diamond Casino Heist) adds 28 songs, bringing the total count to 538.

Glitches

A rare glitch occurs when switching radio stations; switching to the one the player wants to listen to, a song that should be playing on another radio station may take over the radio station the player just switched to. The player must wait until the song is over, and the glitch should be gone. This glitch can also persist across multiple stations when it occurs. (i.e. Los Santos Rock Radio has been seen to play songs from Radio Los Santos and Channel X in the same session)

In GTA Online, station broadcasts are not always synchronized for all players in a lobby, so when two players are in a car listening to the radio, the two players may not hear the same song playing, or if they do sometimes they don't align.

Trivia

In the game's Beta files, there is another alternative rock radio station called Pre-Millennium Radio, but it is believed this station was replaced by Vinewood Boulevard Radio.

In a similar manner to the radio stations in GTA IV, the GTA V radio stations were split into groups to become default radio stations in vehicles. These groups are listed below: Electronica: Soulwax FM FlyLo FM LSUR Classic/Indie/Alternative rock: Los Santos Rock Radio Radio Mirror Park Vinewood Boulevard Radio Pop: Non Stop Pop FM Punk: Channel X Reggae: Blue Ark Latin music: East Los FM Funk/Soul: Space 103.2 The Lowdown FM World music: Worldwide FM Rap/Hip Hop: West Coast Classics Radio Los Santos The Lab Talk radio stations: West Coast Talk Radio Blaine County Radio
