I put together some custom radio station ideas for GTA 6
With the game finally dropping in a few months, I couldn't help myself. I've been dreaming up what the radio dial might look like in Leonida and put together a full set of fan-made station concepts. Even recorded some custom jingles and ads for the YouTube versions, but here's the basic lineup I landed on:
- 93.1 Radio Vice City – wall-to-wall 80s, pure nostalgia fuel
- Flash FM – modern pop, the kind of stuff you'd hear blasting from a convertible on Ocean Beach
- V Rock Radio – hard rock and metal, because every GTA needs that one station that makes you drive faster
- The WildStyle – modern hip hop, think the spiritual successor to the classic Wildstyle from the 3D era
- New Wave 103 – that dreamy, synth-heavy vibe, like Radio Mirror Park but with a Vice City twist
- Antillas de Leonida – Latin reggaeton and bachata, because you can't have a Florida-inspired map without it
I tried to balance the old-school Vice City nostalgia with what a modern soundtrack would actually need. The 80s are iconic, but Leonida's a big state now, not just a city. You've got the swamps, the keys, the beach towns, and the urban sprawl. The radio should feel just as diverse.
I'm still tweaking the playlists and ad breaks, but I'd love to hear what you all think. What stations are you hoping Rockstar includes that I might've missed?

I like how you're treating the dial like actual geography. A station blasting out of Port Gellhorn isn't going to feel right when you're bombing south toward Ambrosia through the Grassrivers. (You'd want something swampy and local there, maybe a blues station out of Mount Kalaga.) Los Santos never had that kind of regional signal decay, but Leonida's got the space for it.
ok so — MapNerd's point about
regional signal decayis exactly the kind of detail Rockstar loves to nail. the scale in both trailers makes me think the dial won't be one flat playlist for the whole state. your lineup is solid but i'd bet some frequencies get real crackly pushing through Grassrivers toward Mount Kalaga. maybe not full dead zones but that fading overlap where you catch fragments of a blues broadcast before it dissolves into static. that's the stuff.
Your Latin station is spot on. Here in Brazil it's the same vibe, you drive the coast and the radio changes every town.
MapNerd's point about
regional signal decayis the kind of detail I was hoping they'd nail. Back in 2004 we just had playlist swaps when you crossed a bridge. If Leonida actually feels like the signal's fighting through the Grassrivers, that's next level. Flash FM returning is just icing.
