Programs

Just or Unjust - a radio courtroom drama hosted by Judge Grady, parodying Eye for an Eye.
The Richard Bastion Show - A right wing talk radio show--or rather, a parody thereof. Hosted by Richard Bastion (played by Jason Sudeikis). Bastion takes calls from listeners and responds to their opinions while exposing his own viewpoints. He is a parody of Rush Limbaugh, right down to the prescription drug addiction. Fans of the show are called "Bastion's Buddies".
Fizz! - A parody of entertainment news shows such as Entertainment Tonight. Between pieces of celebrity gossip related to the fictional TV shows and characters in the GTA IV world are interviews with comedians Ricky Gervais and Katt Williams.
The Martin Serious Show - Introduced in The Lost and Damned episode pack, it is a parody of shock jock style radio shows, such as The Howard Stern Show. The show features Smithy the Stunt Boy, a cast member who kisses up to Martin by performing dangerous stunts such as burning off his pubic hair with a blowtorch and having a M80 put up his rear-end, Lisa Lynn, a token black transvestite who is a target of Martin's racial and sexual humor, possibly a parody of Robin Quivers, and Mark the station manager, who tries to keep Martin's raunchy humor at bay and serves as the straight man on the show.
Conspire - A conspiracy theory show, originally introduced in The Ballad of Gay Tony and made available in the Episodes from Liberty City editions of The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Hosted by John Smith, the show follows a standard format similar to Area 53, but also includes an interview with conspiracy writer Abigail Grayson.

-*'''''Just or Unjust''''' - A parody of daytime television civil court shows such as ''[[wp:The People's Court|The People's Court]]'', hosted by Judge Grady.  Grady is an extremely misogynistic host who always rules for the man in a case, and generally seems to have quite poor judgment -- the advertisement for his show illustrates this, as he belittles a paraplegic war veteran in his court. Instead of actually ruling in favor of the plaintiff or defendant, Judge Grady forces both litigants to participate in a fatal contest, such as a duel or gladiatorial combat, to determine who wins the case.

-==Phone-In==
-On 13th July 2007, [[Rockstar Games]] launched a [[teaser site]] for the radio station at [http://www.wkttradio.com WKTTRadio.com]. It served as a competition of sorts, allowing fans to telephone a New York-based number (212-360-2368) to leave a message about what they think is ''"wrong with Liberty City, America, Liberals or your health"''. Some of the calls will be featured in the [[Radio Stations in GTA IV|soundtrack]] for GTA IV. The site currently redirects to the WKTT section in the main GTA IV website.
-{{quote|It's time for you to do your part in the war on terror - by calling a radio station and ranting at the top of your lungs about how awful peaceful people are and how we should kill everyone.<br /><br />
-Does the anger of always being right make you feel like talking to someone? Have you got something to get off your chest? Don't bottle it up. Don't slur it at the bartender. Hear yourself on [[Liberty City]] radio!<br /><br />
-Call the station right now at 212-360-2368 and tell us what you think is wrong with Liberty City, America, Liberals or your health. Tell the host you love the show. He likes that.<br /><br />
-After the tone, say your name then spell it, then say your peace. For example, say: "Hey this is Don Lance, D-O-N L-A-N-C-E. I'll tell you what's wrong with America, etc" Got it?}}
-You must be over 18 to legally enter this competition. Terms and Conditions for this promotion are available at the [http://www.rockstargames.com/radiolegal/ Rockstar website]
