The Lowdown 91.1 is a radio station that plays funk, soul and jazz music featured in Grand Theft Auto V. 'Mama G' Pam Grier is the radio DJ. The radio station appears to be based on Master Sounds 98.3, a radio station from GTA San Andreas that plays the same type as music as this does. Lowdown may also be based on KHHT Hot 92.3 FM , a well-known L.A. radio station that plays soul, funk, and oldies. Space 103.2 may also be based on Hot 92 as well since both stations play funk music.

Trivia

File:LowDownBeta.jpg

Possibly the beta logo on a billboard down the Los Santos Freeway

• In game, "Cruisin'" is incorrectly credited to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Smokey had split from the group for seven years by the time the song was released. The digital game manual credits the song solely to Smokey Robinson, however.  This has been corrected with the 1.10 update.
  • Also whenever "Crusin'" comes on, Mama G. tends to announce the song as "Oh what you do to me." This likely means that there was a different song to be put in but
• There appears to be another version of the logo, that may be the beta, which keeps the same design but uses a cooler colour palette.
• One of the station's jingles features the opening interjection of "Le Freak" by Chic.
• This is the station played in Michael's house and at the Del Perro Pier. However, the DJ cannot be heard and the song "Ooh Child" has no trumpets, unlike the version heard in a vehicle.
  • This is ironic as his favorite station is Los Santos Rock Radio.
• Lowdown FM is most likely based on K-EARTH, which is a station in Los Angeles that plays classic soul much like the in-game station.
• It's the second time a War song appears in a GTA game. The first time was in San Andreas where "Lowrider" was featured on Master Sounds 98.3.
