Los Santos Rock Radio (102.3) is a radio station that plays classic rock and pop rock in Grand Theft Auto V, and is hosted by Kenny Loggins (but is referred to as Captain Loggins in-game). Loggins also lends his singing voice to the radio sting as well as one of his hit songs. The whole radio station seems to be based on a cruise or a boating journey which may be a reference to the yacht rock genre which Loggins, Michael McDonald, and Robbie Dupree are a part of.

Trivia

• Jimmy De Santa has a Los Santos Rock Radio poster on his bedroom wall. However, ironically, he doesn't like the station because of what he calls the "old people music."
  • This can be seen when he and Michael go for a ride to the beach. Jimmy will change it to West Coast Classics because he wants to listen to his music in the car.
• This is Michael De Santa's and Patrick McReary's favorite radio station.
• It was the second radio station to be discovered by the GTA community.
• "Rock'n Me" by the Steve Miller Band is incorrectly listed as "Take the Money and Run", another song by the Steve Miller Band, in the game's digital manual. It's likely that this was originally going to be featured in the game instead of "Rock'n Me" because many of the missions and events are related to robberies and heists.
• "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" by The Small Faces was featured in the first GTA V trailer, "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen was featured in Michael's trailer, and "I Can't Wait" by Stevie Nicks was featured in the Xbox 360 trailer. This makes Los Santos Rock Radio the station which has the most songs in trailers, with Radio Mirror Park in second.
• This could possibly be Trevor Philips' second favourite radio station, as it plays inside his trailer, his meth lab and Floyd's Apartment.
  • In the enhanced version, however, Rebel Radio plays in Trevor's Trailer instead.
• This radio station can be heard playing in the Fire Station around Los Santos.
• Six of the station's songs play according to what happens in the story. Michael listens to the song "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins on his iFruit phone during the mission, "Father/Son." All the Things She Said" by Simple Minds will play after Michael saves Jimmy and catches Franklin when he jumps off the yacht in "Father/Son," "What a Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers will briefly play during "Crystal Maze" before Trevor angrily changes the station, "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen will play after Michael has escaped from the police in "Dead Man Walking, "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago automatically plays in Trevor's Bodhi when he is forced to return Patricia Madrazo to her husband in "Monkey Business," "Hollywood Nights" by Bob Seger will play when the three characters drive back to Michael's mansion from Blaine County in the "Subtle" approach for "The Big Score," and "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" by the Alan Parsons Project plays when Trevor kidnaps Devin Weston in "The Third Way."
• If Michael chooses to abandon the Epsilom Program convoy during "Unknowing the Truth," "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" by Elton John will play once the mission is completed.
• Occasionally, Loggins monologues about the '80s in between songs and finishes by saying, "I'm alright." This most likely was meant to queue his song, "I'm Alright," before it was removed from the station.
• At the end of the film, Meltdown, "The Breakup Song" by the Greg Kihn Band plays.
• When "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)" begins to play, there is a chance that Loggins will say he is playing, "'I'm Free', by me," as he is the singer.
• Los Santos Rock Radio may be loosely based on 100.3 The Sound or 95.5 KLOS, which are classic rock stations located in Los Angeles.
• This radio station plays during all Offroad Races.
• Songs from this station will play in Ammu-Nation stores, with the exception of the shooting range locations in Pillbox Hill and Cypress Flats and in the Little Seoul stores, which play Channel X and the rural stores, which plays Rebel Radio.
• This radio station plays at the Davis Fire Station.
• This radio station plays at the Mr. Spoke Bike Rental stand.
• In the original PS3/XBox 360 version, Kenny Loggins says "We built this city on new beginnings" possibly referencing the song "We Built This City" by Starship, which appears on the station in the enhanced version.
