The second DLC, The Ballad of Gay Tony, similarly updated five different stations: Vladivostok FM, K109 The Studio, Electro-Choc, San Juan Sounds, and Integrity 2.0. The new tracks are also included in the original GTA IV game. The new music has been added to the song rotations of the stations, so that both the original music and the new tracks play concurrently. In The Lost and Damned, the first episodic downloadable content for GTA IV, five of these radio stations were expanded, namely WKTT Talk Radio, The Beat 102.7, Liberty City Hardcore, Liberty Rock Radio and Radio Broker.
When getting phone calls, it will interfere with the radio signal, much like in real life. To fully switch the engine off, the player must hold the enter/exit button when exiting the vehicle. Weazel News updates itself as the storyline progresses, sometimes reporting news about Niko's actions.Įxiting a vehicle does not automatically switch the engine off, and the radio will still play while the engine is left idle. In GTA IV, the radio is dynamic DJs and news programs inform Niko of the current weather and time of day. In GTA IV, most radio stations are dynamic but some still consist of a single audio file.
In previous GTA games (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas), radio stations were a single audio file, repeating after completing a loop.
