* '''[[The Tight End Zone]]''': Sports program hosted by [[Derrick Thackery]]. As such, Thackery does not actually care as much about the sports he loves than the passions aroused from it. | * '''[[The Tight End Zone]]''': Sports program hosted by [[Derrick Thackery]].

* '''[[The Wild Traveler]]''': Travel program hosted by [[James Pedeaston]]. For a record, Pedeaston is a child molester wanted in Malaysia and is currently being investigated by the FBI. He enjoys traveling the world and logging some of his most 'exotic' encounters in his travelogue, some of which he accidentally reads on-air to the (unintentional) disgust of listeners. His show appears to be so reviled by his listeners that at one point, he receives no calls at all. | * '''[[The Wild Traveler]]''': Travel program hosted by [[James Pedeaston]].

There are a few appearances by aspiring rapper [[OG Loc|Jeffrey "OG Loc" Cross]] and his manager and secondary antagonist [[Big Smoke|Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]], while also apparently featuring celebrity gangsta rapper [[Madd Dogg]]. At one point, Darius Fontaine, the founder of Inversion Therapy, has an argument with [[Lonely Hearts]] host [[Fernando Martinez]], which Lazlow repeatedly denies being part of, on-air. | ||
* '''[[Gardening with Maurice]]''': Gardening show hosted by [[Maurice (GTA SA)|Maurice]]. Being obsessed with gardens, Maurice has a rather horny personality; he not only loves his gardens, but his own body as well. For example, he likes to take pictures of both when they are "blossoming." He also offers unorthodox advice and unusual plant suggestions to callers. | * '''[[Gardening with Maurice]]''': Gardening show hosted by [[Maurice (GTA SA)|Maurice]].

* '''[[I Say/You Say]]''': Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of [[Peyton Phillips]] and [[Mary Phillips]]. 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 jobs as radio talk show host of [[V-Rock]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. | * '''[[I Say/You Say]]''': Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of [[Peyton Phillips]] and [[Mary Phillips]].

The show is dedicated to conspiracy theories and [[Aliens in GTA San Andreas|UFO]] sightings. Regardless of in-game development, the player can always hear [[The Truth]] promising to Marvin he will bring proof of the aliens' existence, and after completion of [[Green Goo]] and possibly [[End of the Line]], he starts claiming in subsequent appearances on-air that he has proof in his hand, a reference to the vial of blob-and-slime he collected in the former mission. | ||
