GTA 6 radio stations: six named Leonida stations

How to use this guide

This is the station guide for Grand Theft Auto VI radio in Leonida: the six stations Rockstar has named so far, how listening works on foot, and how radio relates to The Album and the Original Score. For the short announcement write-up of the October 8 Newswire, read radio stations revealed. We do not invent full per-station tracklists or leak unlisted stations.

What Rockstar confirmed about listening

Rockstar’s Newswire The Music of Grand Theft Auto VI: In-Game Radio Stations (October 8, 2026) and the Music section on rockstargames.com/VI/music describe Leonida radio as spanning stations “dedicated to everything from Classic Rock to Talk Radio,” and call the selection the series’ “biggest and widest-ranging” in-game radio yet.

New for VI (official wording): on-demand podcasts for Jason and Lucia beyond terrestrial radio, with both radio and podcasts available in vehicles and on foot through headphones and earbuds connected to their smartphones. That is an official platform-feature claim. Rockstar has not published a complete podcast directory in that Newswire, so we do not invent show titles here.

Character context: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Geography named in station blurbs maps to the map and location pages such as Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn.

The six featured stations (official blurbs)

Rockstar has featured six stations with hosts and short descriptions. That is not a claim that only six stations exist in the finished game: Rockstar’s own framing leaves room for more Classic Rock / Talk Radio entries later. Host names below are spelled exactly as Rockstar published them. We do not remap them to unverified real-world celebrity IDs.

1. Cocoteo FM

Modern Latin from El Martillo and La Gata. Rockstar’s Music page line: “El party que nunca se apaga.” The Newswire adds bachata, merengue, dembow, and reggaeton as the lane for this station.

2. Back Country Radio

MW and Delta Dawne blast renegade country toward the Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, and beyond. The Newswire mentions a roving reporter, a swamp meteorologist, and Mud Dog Mike checking in from a Grassrivers airboat. Useful if you are exploring swamp and Keys-adjacent regions on the map.

3. AfroBank FM (Afro Bank FM)

Burna and Palmsy curate African music: 20th-century classics and contemporary sounds including amapiano and 3-step. Rockstar’s Music page invites listeners to “turn up the gbedu.”

4. The Chamber (The Chamber 106.6)

Crushing metal with DJ Kerry and DJ Tom. Rockstar ties the station to Leonida’s “deep metal roots” and decades of metal anthems: jump-in-the-pit framing on the Music page.

5. Flash FM

The Vice City institution for pop with Robyn and Alex: “guaranteed to make you dance” across the Goodtime State. Ties naturally to Vice City nightlife imagery Rockstar has shown elsewhere.

6. Dirty South Classics

Trick and Trina blast regional rap and hip-hop classics: “from the beach to the block,” representing Leonida and the South. Keep the host spelling as published (Trina in the Newswire / Music materials we mirrored).

You can preview samples of these six stations on the official Music page today; Rockstar explicitly points players there for station previews.

Radio vs The Album vs Original Score

Do not collapse three official music products into one:

1. In-game radio / podcasts: what you hear while playing (this guide + news announcement).
2. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album: commercial soundtrack album with 34 original tracks, coming November 19 per Rockstar (see The Album news and gtavi-thealbum.com).
3. Original Score by Justice: adaptive score album, commercial date December 11 in Rockstar’s score Newswire (score news).

Singles Rockstar has highlighted on the Music page for The Album / score marketing (for example tracks featuring Future & Metro Boomin, Travis Scott, or Justice’s “Flower in a Hurricane”) are album/score marketing, not a full radio playlist dump. We will not invent which single plays on which station unless Rockstar says so.

What is still not confirmed

• Complete list of every radio station in the retail build (only six are featured so far).
• Full song lists per station.
• Named podcast shows and episode counts.
• Whether celebrity press IDs for hosts match the in-world names Rockstar printed (we stick to Rockstar’s spellings).
• How the radio UI works (wheel vs scroll) as a final retail control map: that belongs with controls & settings after launch verification.

How this page will grow after November 19

After launch we will expand station cards with verified in-game observations (additional stations, talk-radio examples, podcast menu structure) without deleting the October 8 official baseline. Until then, treat this page as the confirmed station primer, and use the news article when you only need the announcement timeline.

Station-by-station: what you can preview offline

Rockstar’s Music page offers station previews. Those are marketing clips, not a promise about in-game rotation length. Before launch it is enough to:

• Sample Cocoteo FM and Flash FM if you care about Vice City nightlife tone: Flash FM is explicitly a Vice City institution.
• Sample Back Country Radio if you plan swamp / Port Gellhorn travel; the Newswire anchors that station geographically.
• Sample AfroBank FM, The Chamber, and Dirty South Classics for the named genre lanes.

Rockstar does not publish fuller public playlists than those host/genre lines: so each card stops there instead of guessing songs.

How this differs from the news article

The two pages cross-link on purpose. We do not repeat preload, download size, editions, or release here.
