In GTA Vice City, VCPR hosted one show, [[Pressing Issues]], a topical discussion program hosted by [[Maurice Chavez ]](voiced by Philip Anthony Rodriguez), with supervisors '''[[Jonathan Freeloader]]''' (Patrick Olsen) and [[Michelle Montanius ]](Kelly Guest). Along with [[K-Chat]], the other talk radio station in the game, VCPR was not released as part of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack. | In GTA Vice City, VCPR hosted one show, [[Pressing Issues]], a topical discussion program hosted by [[Maurice Chavez ]](voiced by Philip Anthony Rodriguez), with supervisors '''[[Jonathan Freeloader]]''' (Patrick Olsen) and [[Michelle Montanius ]](Kelly Guest).

Also, there are the frequent donation drives by Montanius and Freeloader, who between shows beg for support money (as VCPR is a public show, it relies on donations) and try to make the listener feel as guilty as possible about listening to, yet not supporting Public Radio. Obviously, this is a parody of actual public radio stations in the United States like NPR. | Also, there are the frequent donation drives by Montanius and Freeloader, who between shows beg for support money (as VCPR is a public show, it relies on donations) and try to make the listener feel as guilty as possible about listening to, yet not supporting Public Radio.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], VCPR features a variety of radio programs that satirize American culture, such as [[Bait and Switch]], in which features Vietnam War veteran rednecks, and [[New World Order]], which satirizes bellicose racists, [[The Time Ranger]], which shows typical American hypocrisy, and [[Gordon Moorehead Rides Again]], satirizes American hypocrisy during the cold war. Just like [[Liberty City Free Radio|LCFR]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] - VCPR would move on to feature just one show by 1986, [[Pressing Issues]]. Like 1986, the chatter and pledge drives are still run by Freeloader and Montanius, after many major missions [[VNN]] news will interupt any radio show to play the news. | In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], VCPR features a variety of radio programs that satirize American culture, such as [[Bait and Switch]], in which features Vietnam War veteran rednecks, and [[New World Order]], which satirizes bellicose racists, [[The Time Ranger]], which shows typical American hypocrisy, and [[Gordon Moorehead Rides Again]], satirizes American hypocrisy during the cold war.
