Favorite Radio Station

By far, and I mean FAR, Wildstyle is the best, most solid, exciting station out of all 9 of them. Rap music for life, all with an Electro twist which I dig, very very addicting Electronic 80s songs. Afrika Bambaataa, Cybotron, Mantronix, hearing all these artists in my car is like LIVING the game almost. Hell, the developers even credated a tie in with one of the songs with the host of the station. The host is Super Rockin "Mr. Magic" awesome host who has a personality and a ton of catch phrases. His name comes from the song by Whodini, "Magic's Wand" which is in the game.

For convenience sake of picking the stations, here is all of them.

Wildstyle
Flash FM
Wave 103
Emotion 98.3
VRock
Espantoso
Fever 105

Commentary channels:
KChat
VCPR

Fever & Wildstyle

[–] Artificial-Soldier 15 years ago

You're right that Emotion provides a great feeling for cruising in Vice City. I didn't come to appreciate the station until I got the box set, a whole new set of appreciation was added to each station.

Have you heard "Al-Naafiysh (the Soul)" by Hashim? It's an Electro song from Wildstyle that happens in the game after the song "Clear" by Cybotron.

Mr. Magic "Let the battle begin, choose sides, the rap war is here"

"It's Tiiiiiiime"

search for Al Naafiysh on youtube, great stuff.

Nothing beats listening to Wildstyle on a Friday night in a city full of bright lights.

'Teh' is teh best typo ever.

You got that right I have the mp3s of Wildstyle in my car all the time.

Emotion all the way, first of all because of the great music and also for it's DJ: Fernando Martinez. He's very funny, for example when singing 'I Just died in your arms tonight' and his latino-pimp talks. The station itself has ambient music which is ideal to cruise around Vice City.

Other stations i used to listen to frequently are Flash FM, Wave 103 and Wildstyle.

A question: is the DJ also on the Soundrack CD's or is it just the songs?

Yo Chin man, the box set does have a ton of DJ radio vocals, they happen in between songs but not in the middle of them like in the game. There's also bonus tracks that feature the famous "ads" from the game, the funny commercials. But surprisingly, no Giggle cream commercial.

I get into a car, every mission, even sometimes in the same car no matter how damaged it is and I listen to whatever station that the person had it before me had on.

It makes the game more interesting as in you feel there's a infinity cycle of songs instead of just listening to one station and the music repeats the cycle!

For music, V-Rock

For general chat, VCPR!

Favourite radio station out of them all, regardless of 'genre' = VCPR! I love the conversations ("Pressing Issues") on there, even between the issues where Michelle and Jonathan are asking for money is hilarious.

"We've just had a donation of 10 dollars from [can't remember her name]... wow, you'd think she'd have given a little more than THAT Michelle"
"I know Jonathan... mean b!tch"

"Remember, VCPR is a non-profit radio station, which is why we need your money"

bahahaha

I agree with Emotion. Really gives you that 80's feel, and Fernando is hysterical. But, I also love Amy's interview of BJ Smith on KChat!!

"Nah, there's guys twice my size, but I'm quick, rich, and angry. Like a Republican!"
