As in previous Grand Theft Auto games, radio stations play a big part in Grand Theft Auto: Las Venturas and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Las Venturas. When in a Taxi, the player can ask the driver to switch the station, often accompanied by the protagonist's views on the station.
Description[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Las Venturas, the radio is dynamic; DJs and news programs inform Austin of the current weather and time of day. Weazel News updates itself as the storyline progresses, sometimes reporting news about Austin's actions.Exiting a vehicle does not automatically switch the engine off, and the radio will still play while the engine is left idle. To fully switch the engine off, the player must hold the enter/exit button when exiting the vehicle. When getting phone calls, it will interfere with the radio signal, much like in real life.
In Venturas Ventures, the first episodic downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto: Las Venturas, four of these radio stations were expanded, namely KZ69, Integrity 2.5, Bone County Radio, and VPR. 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.
The second DLC, Venturas Ventures Stories, similarly updated five different stations: LVSounds 99.6, Tube FM, Generation X, Technation and Integrity 2.5.
