As in previous times, radio stations play a big part in the organization. When on the headquarters, amenities, public places, or even your personal vehicle, you can hear many of our available radio stations. On amenities, you can ask the staff to switch and shuffle between stations, often accompanied by the protagonist's views on the station.
In previous years (with the exception of The Lapiacery Era), radio stations were a single audio file, repeating after completing a loop. In 2023, most radio stations have been upgraded and are now dynamic. Some still consist of a single audio file.
When listening to some of these radio stations on a vehicle, exiting it does not automatically switch the engine off so the radio will still play while the engine is left idle. To fully switch the engine and the radio off, you must exit and lock the vehicle. Unlocking the vehicle before entering will turn on the radio on, but won't turn on the engine until you enter and turn the ignition manually. When getting phone calls, it will interfere with the radio signal, much like in the GSM era.
There are a combined total of 9 dynamic radio stations as of now, with some stations exclusive for our headquarters. The last radio station was added on April 22th, 2024. Tap on each radio station icon to get the full tracklist, Spotify playlist, streaming instructions and more information about it.

Each of these radio stations shares a common thread: they originated as regular Spotify playlists catering to specific genres. These playlists comprised a collection of songs within their respective genres, from which certain tracks were carefully curated and amalgamated to birth these innovative radio-based playlists. Below are some of their former titles:
Several advertisements can be heard on the radio. Some of the commercials included in the stations are extracted from Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. These include:
Radio Authority Park, and occasionally other english-based stations, includes spanish commercials & comedian videos. Some famous ones are:
“Sometimes the family wants that Italian taste without those tiny Italian portions, that’s why you should come to Al Dentes - all the mama-mia you can eat! It’s Italian food like you’ll never get in Italy. That’s because it’s an American theme restaurant! So the portions are huge, and the food tasteless and unhealthy. We’ve got a special linguine with Cheesy Poof sauce!”

“You can begin living a life of luxury. Why worry about health, your weight, or what people think of you? Now, you're faster! Motorized scooters are the future of the American lifestyle - carefree! Take the wait off!”
