Television GTAV Michael Dave Franklin

Michael, Franklin and Dave Norton about to watch the news following The Jewel Store Job.

In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, television has been extensively changed from its appearance in GTA IV. There are many new features, particularly in online. 

Description

Sometimes, when the player switches to another character, he can be found watching television in his house.

Television production makes an appearance in the game in the mission Fame or Shame when behind the scenes access to the Fame or Shame reality TV series is available. Television news reports are also used to aid plot development in a number of other missions.

Lester Crest has CCTV installed at his house but no interaction is possible.
