'''Chatterbox FM''' is a radio station owned by [[Donald Love]]'s [[Love Media]]. It is hosted and produced by [[Lazlow]] (who also co-wrote the script along with [[Dan Houser]]). Chatterbox FM is the only radio station in the game which does not feature music; like talk radio stations in the real world, Chatterbox features a format in which listeners call in with opinions, concerns, and complaints, and the host responds with their take on the situation. The station also features two long interviews with [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] characters — one with the pacifist, organic food-eating martial artist [[Reed Tucker]], and one with the "cheap pimp from upstate", [[Fernando Martinez]] (who would become a recurring character in the GTA series, on- and off-radio). Chatterbox FM is the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]]' favorite radio station. | '''Chatterbox FM''' is a radio station owned by [[Donald Love]]'s [[Love Media]].

The callers and calls include a man calling to tell Lazlow that he needs a nanny to spank him (a call so popular it would spawn a similar call about witches in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and even its own commercial in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]); a man calling in regard to taxes (which he pronounces like "Texas"); [[Toni Cipriani]] calling with an embarrassing story about his mother; a [[Barry Stark|man who hates clothes]] ("Does a lion wear clothes? And the lion is the king of the jungle!"); and [[Maria Latore]] calling regarding relationship troubles with her boyfriend, [[Claude]] (the mute protagonist of GTA III; Maria complains that "he don't talk much"). | The callers and calls include a man calling to tell Lazlow that he needs a nanny to spank him (a call so popular it would spawn a similar call about witches in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and even its own commercial in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]); a man calling in regard to taxes (which he pronounces like "Texas"); [[Toni Cipriani]] calling with an embarrassing story about his mother; a [[Barry Stark|man who hates clothes]] ("Does a lion wear clothes?
