Talk Stations

WKTT Radio

WKTT Radio (We Know The Truth)

WKTT Radio is a Conservative talk radio station located in Dukes. One of their top shows is the Richard Bastion show, who is a parody of right-wing talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage.
In a Grand Theft Auto first, series fans could call in to the Rockstar offices and have their opinions on current issues recorded and go in the run to have it placed on the station in the final game. Rockstar Games announced this on 14 July 2007 and opened a website—WKTTRadio.com—with all the details needed to participate. This website now redirects to the WKTT page on the official GTA IV site.


Public Liberty Radio

DJ: Unknown
Genre: Call In Speech
This is a public radio station that hosts Lazlow's radio show, Integrity 2.0. It's mentioned on WKTT Talk Radio that Lazlow's former radio station, Chatterbox, has become defunct as of 2007 and that Lazlow is launching his new show to make a return to radio.

Radio Commercials

Computer and Video Games (CVG) originally posted an article on the commercials they had heard during a demo of Grand Theft Auto IV; the article [3] can no longer be seen and it is unknown why it was removed. The transcripts have been taken from a fan site which had the scripts posted as news.[4]

  • El Comercio Roboto! - From the people who brought you the Domestobot, we proudly present El Comercio Roboto! It's the robot of the future... from south of the border! 'Politicians may demand illegal aliens leave the country, but I want a Mexican gardener I can ogle!' El Comercio Roboto! He can mow the lawn, if you know what I mean! Comes with six different attachments!
  • Princess Robot Bubblegum and the horny radioactive plant - It's a half robot, half radioactive plant destined to take over the world. Only one 15-year-old school girl can stop it... by sleeping with it Japanese. Princess Robot Bubblegum and the horny radioactive plant, in all good manga stores soon!
  • Simon and Nigel - Simon and Nigel have long dominated the art world in Europe, and now there's an incredible retrospective. Back in the 1970s they proved that owls were sexual, by having sex with them. Then in 1987 they went wild in America with their coffee table art book called The Anorexic Gimp in Wonderland. It's been non-stop incongruity since! Now these middle-aged twin transsexuals are photographing themselves re-enacting famous atrocities from history dressed as gorillas! Once you see Hitler portrayed as a gorilla, it'll explain the war in a way you never imagined. It is truly shocking!
  • Real Estate (Unknown product) - Are you ready to live the real estate dream? Whether you're new on the market or an old hack we'll take your dream to the limits of prestige in a spacious loft or an outstanding penthouse! It's a 500-square ft glass-coated box in the sky! With windows that won't open and a doorman that masturbates in your bed while you're at work! Only three million dollars! Only three blocks from the ghetto! Apply now!
  • Maurice - 'What kind of loser journalist are you?!' 'You know, you make me shiver the way you look at me, like I shiver in the bathroom looking down at the urinal, and I say 'man that's a lot of men's hair', and then I say 'Maurice, you are a fat ball of testosterone - you are massive!' 'Eww!' 'Is it just me or is it just this angle?! What was she talking about? My little boy got the job done! But you know what? I'm drifting. The fact remains they are the same thing; for the working man, too much work. For the fat cat, and in your case a very thin and sexless, nicotine-stained cat, too many regulations. The working man wants more time, more money...'

NOTE: This is an excerpt from the Vice City Stories rendition of Pressing Issues on VCPR. It was probably used as a placeholder in the demo.

  • El Dentes #1 - Sometimes the family wants that Italian taste without those tiny Italian portions, that's why you should come to El Dentes - all the mama mia you can eat! It's Italian food like you'll never get in Italy. That's because it's an American theme restaurant! So the portions are huge, and the food tasteless and unhealthy. We've got a special linguini with Cheesy Poof sauce!
  • El Dentes #2 - 'Hey, when you're at El Dentes everyone's like family! A hyper, macho, food-obsessed, alcoholic family just like mine!'
  • El Dentes #3 - El Dentes - we've got more of what you love and less of what you don't. Like more calories and fat, and a lot less taste and nutrients! That's why it's El Dentes! All the mama mia you can eat!

Soundtrack Releases

The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition will include the soundtrack for the game containing selected music from the game. It is unknown whether this soundtrack will be available outside of the Special Edition, but the official website lists a "More Soundrack Releases" section, whether this will be CD releases like San Andreas and Vice City, or online downloads like Vice City Stories is unknown.
