Head Radio is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Description

In each continuity, the station is hosted by different disk jockeys; Eddie Symons serves as the host in GTA 1, Phanny Joe Styles and Johnny Riccaro host two separate segments in GTA 2, and Michael Hunt hosts the station in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories. All iterations of Head Radio center around in adult contemporary music, or as Michael Hunt describes in GTA III, plays contemporary "rock and pop".

Similar to Futuro FM, Head Radio's reach in Anywhere City in GTA 2 is wide ranging, being available in all three districts and broadcasted with excellent clarity all parts of the districts. The station also earns the distinction of being one of the longest and most frequently recurring radio stations in the series, appearing over a span of eight years and three continuities in the series.

The station is part of Donald Love's Love Media media conglomerate circa 2001 in GTA III.
