The station primarily plays rock, but also some metal. Station promos often included comparisons to other stations, saying that while other stations were playing synthesizer-music, V-Rock was playing rock. [[Jezz Torrent]] of [[Love Fist]] also makes a couple of appearances, stating that "You're listening to V-Rock". The station's mascot was a vulture, as seen in the station's logo, and Lazlow often complained that it got more air time than he did. The [[V-Rock Hotel]] in [[Las Venturas]], [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] was named after the station and featured its logo in its sign. [[Kent Paul]] often hung out with Love Fist at V-Rock's Vice City headquarters, and gave [[Tommy Vercetti]] several missions from there. Two songs by Love Fist appear in the playlist as well. It also has a phone line, slightly similar to that of [[Chatterbox]]. The three callers featured are [[Couzin Ed]], [[Mitch Baker]] and a person who refers to himself as Snow-Dog. In Vice City Stories the phone line is still present but the only caller is a guy who hates Couzin Ed | The station primarily plays rock, but also some metal.
