For the radio station in GTA 2 also known as Rebel Radio, see KING. For the vehicle, see Rebel. For the race in GTA Online, see Rebel Rodeo.
Rebel Radio is a radio station featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online that plays classic country music.
Description[]
The station is hosted by "The Dancing Outlaw" Jesco White, who personally compiled the track listing for the station. The station broadcasts from the Rebel Radio Building in the Grand Senora Desert, close to the town of Harmony.
This is one of the preferred stations of Trevor Philips. Additionally, Michael De Santa tunes into Rebel Radio during the period in which his family leaves him. When his son returns his car to him, Michael stops tuning into the station.
In the Enhanced and Expanded and Enhanced versions of the game, the radio will automatically switch to this station if the player tunes to West Coast Talk Radio and then loses the signal of that station.

Trivia[]
- The radio station's name is a possible reference to the origin of country music in the Confederate southern states of America, as Confederate soldiers were referred to as "Rebels" during the American Civil War.
- Rebel Radio's logo is very similar to that of Cerveza Barracho.
- One of the station IDs calls the music played on RR from "before country went sissy". This is a reference to the rise of Pop Country and Bro-Country in the late 2000s and early 2010s, which is often seen as weak and poser-ish when compared to older styles of Country Music.
