Main article: P.M.R.

The game files also suggest that this station was a reasonably late addition to the game, with a '90s rock station called P.M.R taking its place beforehand. The P.M.R logo for use in the radio wheel even still exists within the files, and the folder storing the songs for Vinewood Boulevard Radio still makes mention of '90s rock. The station would have played '90s rock songs that would have varied from alternative rock, Britpop, alternative metal, post-grunge, and indie rock. The songs that were meant for this station include:

• Faith No More - The Real Thing (1989)
• Mansun - Wide Open Space (1996)
• Oasis - (It's Good) To Be Free (1994)
• Staind - It's Been Awhile (2001)
• Stereophonics - Mr. Writer (2001)
• The Charlatans - The Only One I Know (1990)
• Travis - Side (2001)

Trivia

• The beta radio HUD for the 90's rock station, "P.M.R", resembled the Nine Inch Nails logo, sharing the rectangular box design with the letters inside of it and the last letter flipped, in which in this case is the letter "R".
  • The NIN-styled logo suggests the frontman of the band Trent Reznor, could be P.M.R's host.
• This is possibly one of Michael De Santa's favorite radio stations, as it plays when the player enters his Tailgater (alongside Radio Mirror Park and Los Santos Rock Radio).
• As said above, "P.M.R" might've been a successor to "Radio X" from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
• Vinewood Boulevard Radio may be based on KROQ, a radio station in Los Angeles that plays modern rock.
• The Black Keys' song "Lonely Boy"" can be heard during a station ID, even though it's not on the playlist.
• Another song by Wavves, "Dog", is featured in a cutscene in the ending of "The Third Way."
• There are 2 unknown songs playing in the background in-between songs. One of them can be heard when Nate and Steve do their counter-blessings and when they talk about what was invented in Los Santos.
