*VCN was originally planned to be re-introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] (the internal name of [[News Chopper]] in [[San Andreas]] is ''vcnmav)''. It seemed that VCN was once designed as a nationwide or worldwide news network, maybe a parody of CNN. In the [[Xbox]] and [[Xbox 360]] versions of San Andreas, VCN appears in place of [[SAN News]]' ground operations department as evidenced by the markings on [[Newsvan]]s.

A Vice City News radio station was originally due to be featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City but was removed during the game's development. The only remnants of this station is an unused logo and radar icon in the game's files.
