Love Media
Love Media, is a fictional media conglomerate in the Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Description
GTA III
Owned by Donald Love, Love Media is described as "The fastest growing US-run media conglomerate in the past five years", controling approximately "900 radio stations, 300 television stations, 4 networks, 3 satellites, [and] 10 senators", with the Love Media brand name; its base of operation is situated south Bedford Point, Staunton Island, in Liberty City.
Love's announcements or related commercials are evident in certain player accessed radio stations, including Head Radio, Flashback 95.6, Double Cleff FM, and Chatterbox FM. Love Media also owns the Liberty Tree, Liberty City's local newspaper. Other acquisitions and interests include pet food and health insurance.
Donald Love is believed to had only begun doing business in Liberty City from early-2001 onwards, indicating that Love Media was quick in either its founding or acquisition of many companies in Liberty City within months (the time period of GTA III is supposedly late 2001). This was done as a response to the return of Barry Harcross, a recently acquitted businessman and long time rival of Donald Love, to the city. However, several possible continuity errors are also noted: Love had apparently operated in Liberty City in 1998 (although he was seen working in a different office building) and already owns several radio stations and newspapers, contrary to what the aforementioned 2001 Liberty Tree articles claims.
After Donald Love's disappearance in GTA III, the fate of the conglomerate is left unknown.

Each vehicle found will give you $500 to $5000. If you donate all the cars, you will end up with $52000. Finding all of them will give you a PCJ-600 and V8 Ghost Spawn, as well as (proof needed) 2 garages (1 of these filled with your new car spawns). This list also appears next to the garage where the cars are placed, and the donated cars are crossed out in red.
