GTA Vice City Radio Stations & Full Soundtrack

GTA Vice City features nine radio stations and one talk radio channel, covering 1980s pop, rock, new wave, hip hop, Latin, and more. The soundtrack includes over 100 licensed tracks from artists like Michael Jackson, Blondie, Slayer, and Toto. You can cruise through Vice City listening to every station at gtavicecity.lol while using the keyboard controls to switch between channels.

Why the Vice City Soundtrack Matters

The GTA Vice City soundtrack is widely considered one of the greatest in video game history. Rockstar Games did not just license a few popular songs. They built an entire 1980s radio ecosystem, complete with period-accurate DJs, commercial breaks, and station identities that feel like actual FM broadcasts from 1986.

The music defines the game's atmosphere in a way few soundtracks have matched. Driving a Cheetah down Ocean Drive while Billie Jean plays on Flash FM is one of gaming's most iconic moments. The soundtrack was so popular that Rockstar released a seven-disc box set featuring every track from the game.

Every Radio Station in GTA Vice City

Flash FM

Flash FM is the signature pop station and the one most players associate with Vice City. Hosted by Toni with her bubbly, over-the-top DJ personality, it plays mainstream 1980s hits. The playlist includes "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Out of Touch" by Hall and Oates, "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls, "Dance Hall Days" by Wang Chung, and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes. This is the default Vice City experience.

Emotion 98.3

Emotion 98.3 is the soft rock and ballad station, hosted by Fernando Martinez. It plays power ballads and love songs including "Africa" by Toto, "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister, "Waiting for a Girl Like You" by Foreigner, and "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" by The Human League. Fernando's sleazy, self-obsessed commentary between tracks is some of the funniest writing in the game.

V-Rock

V-Rock is the hard rock and metal station, hosted by the loud and aggressive Lazlow (who would go on to appear in every subsequent GTA game). The playlist features "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne, "Raining Blood" by Slayer, "Turn Up the Radio" by Autograph, "Madhouse" by Anthrax, and "Yankee Rose" by David Lee Roth. V-Rock captures the hair metal era perfectly.

Wildstyle

Wildstyle is the hip hop station hosted by Mr. Magic. It showcases early-to-mid 1980s rap and electro, featuring "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash, "Rock Box" by Run-DMC, "Looking for the Perfect Beat" by Afrika Bambaataa, and "Jam On It" by Newcleus. The station serves as an authentic time capsule of hip hop's formative years.

Fever 105

Fever 105 is the funk, soul, and disco station hosted by Oliver "Ladykiller" Biscuit. Tracks include "Automatic" by The Pointer Sisters, "Summer Madness" by Kool and the Gang, "And the Beat Goes On" by The Whispers, and "Act Like You Know" by Fat Larry's Band.

Espantoso

Radio Espantoso is the Latin music station, hosted by Pepe. It features salsa, mambo, and Latin jazz tracks including "Mama Paquita" by Cachao, "Latin Flute" by Deodato, and "Yo Te Quiero" by Mongo Jerry. The station adds cultural depth to the game's Miami-inspired setting.

Wave 103

Wave 103 is the new wave and synthpop station, featuring "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls, "Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart, "Pale Shelter" by Tears for Fears, and "Electricity" by OMD. Its cold, electronic sound perfectly complements nighttime drives.

K-Chat and VCPR

K-Chat is an all-talk station hosted by Amy Sheckenhausen, featuring absurd celebrity interviews. VCPR (Vice City Public Radio) is a talk and debate station with satirical discussions. Both stations showcase Rockstar's gift for social commentary and humor.
