* '''[[I Say/You Say]]''': Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of Peyton Phillips (Paul Ames) and Mary Phillips (Jackie Hoffman). Peyton and Mary are caricatures of their ideologies, Peyton having communist inclinations while Mary plays 'greedy capitalist'. For example, when dealing with a caller that had recently buried the corpses of numerous illegal immigrants in his backyard, Mary advises the caller on how to use the corpses to evade his taxes while Peyton mentions recycling and organ donation. Early shows feature a desperate [[Lazlow]] looking for a radio job, asking if he can take Peyton's and stating that he used to be on the radio "back in the day", referring to his | * '''[[I Say/You Say]]''': Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of Peyton Phillips (Paul Ames) and Mary Phillips (Jackie Hoffman).

* '''[[Lonely Hearts Show]]''': Relationship advice program hosted by Christy MacIntyre (Sara Moon), featuring [[Fernando Martinez]] (Frank Chavez) of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] fame; he briefly mentions being "chased out" (of Vice City) and alludes to a "Five Alarm Fire". | * '''[[Lonely Hearts Show]]''': Relationship advice program hosted by Christy MacIntyre (Sara Moon), featuring [[Fernando Martinez]] (Frank Chavez) of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] fame; he briefly mentions being "chased out" (of Vice City) and alludes to a "Five Alarm Fire". | ||
* '''[[Area 53]]''': A Coast to Coast AM spoof hosted by Marvin Trill (Bob Sevra). The show is dedicated to conspiracy theories and UFO sightings. The Area 53 station eventually gathers a group of followers, and in 1994 commences construction of an underground bunker in the desert, due to beliefs the world will end on December 31st, 1999 (the Y2K fear). In early 1998, Area 53 goes on the Internet, with Marvin Trill as webmaster. On December 28th, 1999, the Area 53 website is shut down by Trill, over anticipation of the Y2K disaster. Entries by Marvin Trill on this date seem to imply he killed himself on or before December 31st. All of this can be found on GTAIV's web browser at '''Area53.net'''. | * '''[[Area 53]]''': A Coast to Coast AM spoof hosted by Marvin Trill (Bob Sevra).
