Trivia

There are several recognizable references to the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, including the phrase "ate your cassette disc", which is a reference to the mission Supply & Demand for Ricardo Diaz.
Evan Moss sings along to "Maneater" by Hall & Oates in the opening cutscene of the mission Bang Bang. This is the only time you can hear the song in the game if you own the downloadable version, as Vice City FM appears only in the disc version.
The main verse/chorus of "Maneater" was sampled by rapper Royce Da 5'9 in his song "We're Live (Danger)", which was featured in GTA III's hip-hop station Game FM.
"The Look" by Roxette plays in one of The Ballad of Gay Tony trailers. It's also played at strip clubs.
On an in-game poster advertising the radio station, there is a list of bands featured. Interestingly "Go West" and "Tears For Fears" are listed, but no songs are in the playlist, suggesting they were dropped during development, however, no song titles from these bands are seen in the file "american.gxt". Despite this, there is DJ commentary in the Vice City FM files hinting that Go West's song "We Close Our Eyes" and Tears For Fears's "Mad World" would've been on the station.
Michael Jackson's "Another Part of Me", can be briefly heard in one of the stingers for the station.
"american.gxt" also reveals songs that were going to play on the station but were dropped during the development. They include:
- Belouis Some - "Imagination" (1985)
- Billy Ocean - "Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)" (1984)
- Club Nouveau - "Lean on Me" (1986)
- Culture Club - "Time (Clock of the Heart)" (1982)
- Go West - "We Close Our Eyes" (1985)
- Morrissey - "Everyday Is like Sunday" (1988)
- Michael Jackson - "Another Part of Me" (1987)
- Tears For Fears - "Mad World" (1983)
Vice City FM is not available in the downloadable versions of TLAD or TBoGT, appearing in only the disc version. It is, however, available on the downloaded Steam version for the PC.
The style of writing on the station logo is the exact same as the logo used on the front of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City instruction manual.
