* '''Area 53''': A Coast to Coast AM spoof hosted by Marvin Trill (Bob Sevra). The show is dedicated to conspiracy theories and UFO sightings. The Area 53 station eventually gathers a group of followers, and in 1994 commences construction of an underground bunker in the desert, due to beliefs the world will end on December 31st, 1999 (the Y2K fear). In early 1998, Area 53 goes on the Internet, with Marvin Trill as webmaster. On December 28th, 1999, the Area 53 website is shut down by Trill, over anticipation of the Y2K disaster. Entries by Marvin Trill on this date seem to imply he killed himself on or before December 31st. All of this can be found on GTAIV's web browser at '''Area53.net'''. | * '''Area 53''': A Coast to Coast AM spoof hosted by Marvin Trill (Bob Sevra).
