	~~It shows the occasional news breakthrough from~~ the game, ~~and~~ [[~~OG Loc~~]] ~~makes~~ the ~~occasional appearance after you~~ "~~retrieved~~" ~~some rhymes from~~ [[~~Madd Dogg~~]]~~. [[Big Smoke]] also appears as~~ a ~~person who is forced to serve community service and~~ is ~~spokesperson for~~ the ~~"little guy~~."		Across almost the entire in-game storyline, host [[Lianne Forget]] ends the bulletin with the pessimistic quotation "This is the end" or "The end is near", but after [[End of the Line]], she unambiguously shows a rather positive attitude, ending with the quotation "This is the end. And a new beginning!"

	* '''[[The Wild Traveler]]''': Travel program hosted by [[James Pedeaston]]. For a record, Pedeaston is a child molester wanted in Malaysia and is currently being investigated by the FBI. He enjoys traveling the world and logging some of his most 'exotic' encounters in his travelogue, some of which he accidentally reads on-air to the (unintentional) disgust of listeners.

	* '''[[Entertaining America]]''': Entertainment program hosted by [[Billy Dexter]] and later [[Lazlow Jones\|Lazlow]], featuring various guests. Dexter is accidentally shot in the head by a gun-wielding [[Jack Howitzer]], and after a rather lengthy hiatus (which includes Howitzer's subsequent conviction on WCTR news) is replaced by Lazlow, who is also credited with producing all DJ banters and commercials in-game.

Peyton and Mary are caricatures of their ideologies; Peyton having communist inclinations while Mary plays 'greedy capitalist'. For example, when dealing with a caller that had recently buried the corpses of numerous illegal immigrants in his backyard, Mary advises the caller on how to use the corpses to evade his taxes while Peyton mentions recycling and organ donation. Early shows feature a desperate Lazlow looking for a radio job, asking if he can take Peyton's and stating that he used to be on the radio "back in the day", referring to his jobs as radio talk show host of [[V-Rock]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].		* '''[[I Say/You Say]]''': Political debate show hosted by husband-and-wife liberal-and-conservative team of [[Peyton Phillips]] and [[Mary Phillips]].
