''[[Wave 103]]'' is Hosted by Adam First, who is voiced by Jamie Canfield. Wave 103 features [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wave_music New Wave] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthpop Synthpop] music. Wave 103 is one of two preferred radio stations tuned in by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gangs_in_Grand_Theft_Auto_series#Streetwannabe.27s Streetwannabes], the other station being Flash FM. Wave 103 can be heard after Tommy carjacks their gang vehicles. An album of the songs from the station is available separately or as part of the ''Vice City'' soundtrack box set. Customers received this volume when they placed a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-order pre-order] down payment of $10 on the PC version of the game at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Buy Best Buy]. The name of the station apes that of an actual local radio station [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_102 Wave 102] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dundee Dundee], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland Scotland], the original birthplace of the game's design company Rockstar North. The name may also allude to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wave_music New Wave music] on the station's playlist.

Flash FM's "Japanese Boy" also appears on the European version of the Wave 103 CD album.

Like most DJs in Vice City, Adam believes that his kind of music is the best, and fancies himself a music connoisseur. He also mentions that he likes money, is a big fan of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_gliding hang gliding], despises [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_video music videos] because they show that the artists' looks are more important than actual talent, and insists that his mother had "nothing to do" with his "personal choice" of going into radio.

Adam makes a cameo appearance in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]'' as a caller to the conspiracy theory show ''Area 53'' on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas_soundtrack#WCTR WCTR]. He says that while hang-gliding in the San Andreas desert (Bone County), he saw a man at a trailer compound performing strange rituals with a Domestabot. The show host Marvin Trill (who is later revealed to be the man that Adam saw) tells him to get a real hobby and hangs up.

The following songs can be heard on the station:
