As in previous [[Grand Theft Auto]] games, [[Radio|radio stations]] play a big part in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. When in a [[Taxi|taxi]], the player can ask driver to switch station, often accompanied by Niko's views on the station.


As in previous [[GTA]] games, [[radio]] stations will play a big part in [[GTA IV]]. It is also known that in a taxi, the player can ask driver to switch station.
In previous GTA games (with the exception of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]), radio stations were a single audio file, repeating after completing a loop. In GTA IV, most of the songs are shuffled while some still follow a loop (The Beat, Massive B, etc.).
 
The radio is dynamic. Some DJs and news programs tell you what the current weather and the current time is. [[Weazel News]] updates itself as you progress through the story, sometimes reporting news about Niko's actions. Some stations do not update and play the same content, such as Integrity 2.0 and The Journey.
 
In [[The Lost and Damned]], the first episodic downloadable content for GTA IV, five of these radio stations were expanded, namely WKTT, The Beat, L.C.H.C., Liberty Rock Radio and Radio Broker. The new music has been added to the song rotations of the stations, so that both the original music and the new tracks play concurrently. The new tracks are also included in the original GTA4 game.
 
The second DLC [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] similarly updated five different stations: Vladivostok FM, K109 The Studio, Electro-Choc, San Juan Sounds, and Integrity 2.0. With both DLC packs installed, the player hears the combined radio content in all single-player and multiplayer modes.
 
The two episodes are available in a stand-alone format, [[GTA IV Episodes#Episodes from Liberty City|Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City]]. The radio content included with The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony is combined with additional, exclusive music appearing on three new radio stations: Vice City FM, RamJam FM, and Self-Actualization FM. These replace several radio stations that do not carry over from Grand Theft Auto IV. Music that appeared in Grand Theft Auto IV does not appear in Episodes from Liberty City.

As in previous Grand Theft Auto games, radio stations play a big part in Grand Theft Auto IV. When in a taxi, the player can ask driver to switch station, often accompanied by Niko's views on the station.

In previous GTA games (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas), radio stations were a single audio file, repeating after completing a loop. In GTA IV, most of the songs are shuffled while some still follow a loop (The Beat, Massive B, etc.).

The radio is dynamic. Some DJs and news programs tell you what the current weather and the current time is. Weazel News updates itself as you progress through the story, sometimes reporting news about Niko's actions. Some stations do not update and play the same content, such as Integrity 2.0 and The Journey.

In The Lost and Damned, the first episodic downloadable content for GTA IV, five of these radio stations were expanded, namely WKTT, The Beat, L.C.H.C., Liberty Rock Radio and Radio Broker. The new music has been added to the song rotations of the stations, so that both the original music and the new tracks play concurrently. The new tracks are also included in the original GTA4 game.

The second DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony similarly updated five different stations: Vladivostok FM, K109 The Studio, Electro-Choc, San Juan Sounds, and Integrity 2.0. With both DLC packs installed, the player hears the combined radio content in all single-player and multiplayer modes.

The two episodes are available in a stand-alone format, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. The radio content included with The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony is combined with additional, exclusive music appearing on three new radio stations: Vice City FM, RamJam FM, and Self-Actualization FM. These replace several radio stations that do not carry over from Grand Theft Auto IV. Music that appeared in Grand Theft Auto IV does not appear in Episodes from Liberty City.

Radio stations list

These are the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto IV and its Episodes:



Advertisements

Several advertisements can be heard on the radio. These include:

From the people who brought you the Domestobot, we proudly present El Chamuco Roboto! It's the robotic future... from south of the border! 'Politicians may demand illegal aliens leave the country, but I want a Mexican gardener I can ogle!' El Chamuco Roboto! You little devil. He can mow the lawn, if you know what I mean! Comes with six different attachments!

You can begin living a life of luxury. Why worry about health, your weight, or what people think of you? Now, you're faster! Motorized scooters are the future of the American lifestyle - carefree! Take the wait off!


Now these middle-aged twin transsexuals are photographing themselves re-enacting famous atrocities from history dressed as gorillas! Once you see Hitler portrayed as a gorilla, it’ll explain the war in a way you never imagined. It is truly shocking!

It’s Italian food like you’ll never get in Italy. That’s because it’s an American theme restaurant! So the portions are huge, and the food tasteless and unhealthy.
