Like it's virtual successor, [[V-Rock]] played heavy metal music; indeed, given the time period [[V-Rock]] was on the air (1991-1999), it's likely the on-air station played many of the same songs as the station in the video game. [[V-Rock]] signed off the air in the wake of the Columbine tragedy, and resumed that fall with a new brand and new format. (See also [[wikipedia:WSTB|WSTB]] for additional information.) |

− | ''[[Vice City Public Radio]],'' abbreviated as ''[[VCPR]]'', is hosted by [[Maurice Chavez]] (voiced by Philip Anthony Rodriguez), with supervisors [[Jonathan Freeloader]] (Patrick Olsen) and [[Michelle Montanius]] (Kelly Guest). |
||
− | |||
− | On [[VCPR]] are the frequent donation drives by [[Michelle Montanius]] and [[Jonathan Freeloader]], who between shows beg for support money (as [[VCPR]] is a public show, it relies on donations) and try to make the listener feel as guilty as possible about listening yet not supporting Public Radio. |

− | ===Pressing Issues=== |
||
− | Much like [[KCHAT]], [[VCPR]] features live interviews; unlike the celebrity interviews on [[KCHAT]], however, the show broadcast on [[VCPR]] within the game is called ''Pressing Issues'', and focuses on exactly that—particular issues are chosen, and [[Maurice Chavez]] mediates an informal debate between selected guests. Three such issues are broadcast within the game. |
||
− | |||
⚫ | |||
− | The first issue deals with issues of general ''morality''. The three guests for this debate are firebrand [[Pastor Richards]] (David Green), harried activist, mother and wife [[Jan Brown]] (Maureen Silliman), and naturist [[Barry Stark]] (Renaud Sebbane). [[Pastor Richards]] is a corrupt and wholly insane televangelist, who promises salvation (in the form of a radiation proof giant living space/effigy of [[Pastor Richards|Richards]]) to all those who pay him very large donations (he later reveals that he was actually planning on using the money to build himself a palace mansion in Hawaii). [[Jan Brown]] is an overstressed, overattentive mother who is cheated on (constantly) by her husband. [[Barry Stark]] is a naturist and a liar, with sexuality issues (he gets erections several times during the debate). By the end of this segment, [[Pastor Richards]] snaps, and, disgusted by [[Barry Stark|Stark]]'s nudism, pulls a gun on him and shoots him in the genitals, while [[Jan Brown|Brown]] passes out. [[Pastor Richards]] also ends up claiming the station as his own for a short while. |
||
− | |||
− | [[Barry Stark]] also appeared as a caller on [[Chatterbox FM]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', where he makes similar comments about nudity. |
||
− | |||
− | During the interview, [[Pastor Richards]] complains that "American newspapers are owned by Canadians with an agenda". This could be a reference to the mockumentary ''The Canadian Conspiracy'', which details how the Canadian government is subverting the United States by taking over its media, and came out in 1985, one year before the setting of the game. |
||
− | |||
− | There is a perception amongst some gamers that [[Pastor Richards]] is a caricature either of former televangelist [[Jim Bakker]] or [[Pat Robertson]]. [[Rockstar Games]] has set up a toll-free telephone line that, when called, plays a recording of [[Pastor Richards]] discussing his "Salvation Statue." The number can be reached by calling 1-866-9-SAVE-ME (972-8363). |
||
− | |||
− | The interview goes awry when [[Pastor Richards]] pulls a gun on [[Barry Stark]] for being immoral and shoots him in the groin. [[Barry Stark|Barry]] survives and "is in need of a proctologist". The show then cuts away to [[Jonathan Freeloader|Jonathan]] and [[Michelle Montanius|Michelle]]. |
||
− | |||
⚫ | |||
− | The second issue is that of perception and attitude. The three guests for this debate are exaggerated gothic artist [[Konstantinos Smith]] (voice artist credited as [http://konstantinos.com/ Konstantinos.com]), positive thinker, motivational speaker and shyster [[Jeremy Robard]] (Peter Silvestro), who claims that his 3 step program called "Think Your Way To Success" has changed people's lives and made him very rich, and [[Jenny Louise Crab]] (Mary Birdsong), a woman driven crazy by the murder of her foster parents, but seemingly addicted to high strength mood elevators in an effort to block the memory (as such, she is insanely hyperactive and scarily cheerful). |
||
− | |||
− | During the show, [[Jeremy Robard|Robard]] persistently tries to sell his motivational tape series. This series is advertised elsewhere on ''Vice City'' radio, and it's worth noting that the initials for each program spells out the name of a popular illegal drug: "Motivate, Demonstrate, then Motivate Again" spells out "MDMA", the scientific abbreviation for [[wp:Ecstasy (drug)|Ecstasy]]; "Learn, Start, Doing" spells out "LSD", the abbreviation for lysergic acid diethylamide; "Think, Hold that thought, Complete" spells out "THC" the abbreviation for Tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary chemical in marijuana. Later in his dialogue he mentions, "And if you want to think *really* fast, try my crank-it-out program" (Crank is slang for Methamphetamine). |
||
− | |||
− | Near the end of the show [[Maurice Chavez|Maurice]] eventually sees that [[Jeremy Robard]]'s program is worth nothing, that it hasn't got him anywhere, that he is not a rich successful business man, that he hasn't changed anyone's lives, and that he is nothing but a poor desperate fraud. [[Maurice Chavez|Maurice]] and [[Jeremy Robard|Jeremy]] breaks his nose with a 'heavy paperweight' on the air. |
||
− | |||
⚫ | |||
− | The third "debate" on the station concerns public safety, particularly in the context of the rising tide of crime promoted in no small part by [[Tommy Vercetti]], the game's protagonist. The three guests during this segment are [[Congressman Alex Shrub]] (voiced by Chris Lucas), an extremely right-wing, cocksure politician who is also the youngest congressman elected by the city. He believes that America needs to accept it's okay to be rich and forget the poor, and during the course of the debate he also reveals past facts about host [[Maurice Chavez]] (how he used to work as clown, his failed attempts to be an actor, suffering from anxiety, attending group therapy, wanting to get a sex change etc). Social activist and extreme [[wp:Liberalism|liberal]] [[Callum Crayshaw]] (Sean Modica) is a stereotypical concerned rich boy who wants to "help the poor" in completely unfeasible ways with an organization he formed called "Speaking for the Underdog", and often talks about his trips to other continents (funded by his wealthy businessman Dad, who doesn't seem to care about the same issues at all). The last panel member is [[wp:secession|secession]]ist and last-minute panel replacement (The previous guest was carjacked and decided to stay at home arming himself to the teeth.) [[John F. Hickory]] (LJ Gansen), an extremely radical native [[wp:Florida|Floridian]] (though it is revealed he only moved to Vice City recently) who believes that by digging a suitably large river Florida can break free of the American mainland, and finally put a stop to the people flooding in from the northern states. |
||
− | |||
− | Of note is the common (but unofficial) perception that [[Alex Shrub]] is a caricature of presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, as well as Florida governor Jeb Bush. His last name Shrub would add to this, as a shrub is basically a bush. |
||
− | |||
− | ==Other Songs== |
||
− | [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] includes a few songs present in the game, through various cutscenes, that are not featured on any radio station. |
||
− | |||
− | These include: |
||
− | * Al Di Meola - "Ritmo De La Noche" (Featured during the "[[Bar Brawl]]" cutscene.) |

− | Two unidentified songs in Café Robina, not played on Radio Espantoso, can be heard in the cutscenes to the missions [[Naval Engagement]] and [[Trojan Voodoo]].

Revision as of 04:21, 11 July 2015
Various radio stations can be received on radios in most vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. They are also available in the Audio menu, while the game is paused. The soundtrack has been released in a box set and seven separate CDs.
Most radio stations play a mixture of music, DJ chat, and spoof advertising. The stations each reflect one style of music intended to evoke the atmosphere of the time. Several of the stations also reappear in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which is a direct prequel to the game.
The player can listen to the following radio stations:
- Wildstyle - Hip Hop, Electro
- Flash FM - Pop
- K-Chat - Interviews
- Fever 105 - Soul, Disco, Quiet Storm, Funk, R&B
- V-Rock - Rock, Hard Rock, Metal
- VCPR - Political Talk Show
- Radio Espantoso - Latin, Salsa Music
- Emotion 98.3 - Power Ballads
- Wave 103 - New Wave, Pop, Synthpop
- MP3 Player (PC only) - User-Defined Track Player
- Tape Deck (Xbox only) - User-Defined Track Player (Plays music ripped from Audio CD to the HDD)
The songs are listed in the same order as they appear in the game.
On 6 December 2012, GTA Vice City was released on iOS and Android to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary. However, some songs were removed from these versions of the game, and are marked with an *.
