GTA IV's Radio Stations, Ranked
Eighteen radio stations and the WKTT/PLR talk programs — every Grand Theft Auto IV station ranked, with the Liberty City driving picks worth bookmarking.

GTA IV launched with 18 radio stations and approximately 200 licensed tracks — comparable in raw count to Vice City's catalog but spanning a wider 2008-vintage genre range. The radios reflect Liberty City's NYC analog: more hip-hop, more global pop, more talk radio than any earlier GTA. Below is the editorial ranking.
1. Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 (classic rock)
Hosted by Iggy Pop in his real voice. Genesis, ELO, Lou Reed, The Who, Bob Seger, Black Sabbath, Steve Miller. The driving station — most-played and best-curated. Iggy's hosted segments are a meta-callback to his 70s/80s radio work.
2. Vladivostok FM (Russian pop / hip-hop)
Hosted by Yana. Russian-language pop, hip-hop, and dance. Reflects Niko's Eastern European background; the station of choice for the Faustin / Bulgarin missions. The Russian tracklist is genuinely good and unusually well-curated by a non-Russian-native music supervisor.
3. The Beat 102.7 (hip-hop)
Hosted by DJ Mister Cee and Statik Selektah. East Coast hip-hop circa 2007-2008. Notable 2008 deep cuts and contemporary releases. The Beat is the station for Bohan and Algonquin driving.
4. K109 The Studio (disco / boogie)
Hosted by Karl Lagerfeld in his real voice (yes, the fashion designer). Disco-era and boogie selections. The hosted segments are unusually erudite for a GTA station — Lagerfeld talking about music history is genuinely interesting.
5. Tuff Gong Radio (reggae)
Hosted by Cara Delevingne in her real voice. Roots reggae and dub. The Lost MC and Little Jacob's missions play this station extensively.
6. The Vibe 98.8 (R&B / soul)
Hosted by Roy Ayers in his real voice. R&B, soul, and contemporary R&B. The cleanest dating-mission soundtrack in GTA IV.
7. Electro-Choc (electronic / dance)
Hosted by François K in his real voice. House, techno, and electronic. Plays during the Algonquin nightclub scene.
8. The Journey (ambient / new age)
Hosted in-character. Calm electronic, ambient. The driving station for Niko's reflective moments — and a deliberate tonal counterweight to the more aggressive stations.
9. Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 (dancehall)
Hosted by Bobby Konders. Dancehall and roots reggae. Less iconic than Tuff Gong but a separate station with a distinct selection.
10. The Classics 104.1 (golden-age hip-hop)
East Coast hip-hop from 1980-1995. Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions. Plays heavily in Bohan.
