''[[V-Rock]]'' is | ''[[V-Rock]]'' is Hosted by Lazlow, who also scripted and produced many of the radio stations and commercials in the game, V-Rock features [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music heavy metal music] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_rock hard rock]. The station is preferred by Vice City's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gangs_in_Grand_Theft_Auto_series#Bikers Biker gang], which is tuned in by default after the player hijacks their gang motorcycles. An album of the songs from the station is available separately or as part of the ''Vice City'' soundtrack box set. | ||
The following songs can be heard on the station: | It is interesting to note that on ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_III Grand Theft Auto III]'''s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_III_soundtrack#Chatterbox_FM Chatterbox FM chat show], which is set circa 2001, Lazlow claims that he hosts Chatterbox because he "got kicked off the rock station." A hidden track on the V-Rock CD hints at how Lazlow got fired. In ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]'', which takes place in 1992, Lazlow interviews celebrities on a radio show called "Entertaining America" on the public talk radio station [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas_soundtrack#WCTR WCTR]. He mentions that he is still getting over the 1980s and is having trouble adjusting to the 1990s. In Vice City Stories, Lazlow, who is at that time the co-host of V-Rock, is constantly belittled by the DJ Couzin Ed, and at one point retorts "Well I'm going to broadcasting school next year. Then I'm gonna come back to Vice City and be a V-Rock DJ." It is said by Lazlow that the V-Rock transmitter is located in Red Dick, Florida | ||

Like it's virtual successor, [[V-Rock]] played heavy metal music; indeed, given the time period [[V-Rock]] was on the air (1991-1999), it's likely the on-air station played many of the same songs as the station in the video game. [[V-Rock]] signed off the air in the wake of the Columbine tragedy, and resumed that fall with a new brand and new format.
