The station is featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. It was originally hosted by [[Couzin Ed]], until [[Lazlow]] took over in [[1986]], when [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] takes place.


The station primarily plays rock, but also some metal. Station promos often included comparisons to other stations, saying that while other stations were playing synthesizer-music, V-Rock was playing rock. [[Jezz Torrent]] of [[Love Fist]] also makes a couple of appearances, stating that "You're listening to V-Rock". The station's mascot was a vulture, as seen in the station's logo, and Lazlow often complained that it got more air time than he did. The [[V-Rock Hotel]] in [[Las Venturas]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] was named after the station and featured its logo in its sign. [[Kent Paul]] often hung out with Love Fist at V-Rock's Vice City headquarters, and gave [[Tommy Vercetti]] several missions from there. Two songs by Love Fist appear in the playlist as well. It also has a phone line, slightly similar to that of [[Chatterbox FM]]. The three callers featured are [[Couzin Ed]], [[Mitch Baker]] and a person who refers to himself as Snow-Dog. In GTA Vice City Stories the phone line is still present but the only caller is a guy who hates Couzin Ed.

*In GTA Vice City Stories, since V-Rock is in Reddick and not in Vice City, the V-Rock HQ in [[Downtown Vice City]] doesn't have the V-Rock sign on the top of the building, like it does in GTA Vice City. The community in real-life is located in North Central Florida, between the cities of [[wp:Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]] and [[wp:Ocala, Florida|Ocala]], not [[wp:South Florida metropolitan area|South Florida]], the area which Vice City emulates.
