Although most vehicles in the game are fitted with radios, some, such as emergency vehicles, play a police radio track instead, and others, such as bicycles and tractors, are not equipped with radios.

In previous games, radio stations consisted of a single, looped audio file which repeated songs, DJ commentary and commercials in the same order. In GTA San Andreas, the game itself randomizes the playlist, DJ commentary during and between songs, and other aspects such as weather reports. Some stations, most notably West Coast Talk Radio, changes its programming as the game progresses, sometimes reflecting events within the game or subplots occurring within the radio programming. Even the police radio track changes towards the latter part of the game, when the riots occur.

An extensive 8-CD Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Official Soundtrack Box Set was released containing music from the game's radio stations, while a smaller 2-CD compilation set was also released.

On October 26, 2014, GTA San Andreas was re-released as a download for the Xbox 360 to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary. However, over the years, the licenses for some of the songs had expired, and thus some of the songs were excluded from future re-releases as a PS2 Classic on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, as well as The Definitive Edition. K-Rose, SF-UR and CSR 103.9 are the only stations to retain their original playlists.

There are twelve in-game radio stations, with one custom station modified by the player. The songs are listed in the same order as they appear in the game manual. Please select a station to jump to its section.

GTA San Andreas allows players to play their songs in the PC, Xbox and iOS ports of the game. This custom radio station is named "User Track Player" in the PC and Xbox ports, and "Mixtape" in the iOS port.

"User Track Player" only supports .ogg and .mp3 music formats (as well as shortcuts to those types of files). Contrary to previous custom stations in the series, "User Track Player" offers various options of playing the music files: in sequential order, on random, or within a rudimentary radio station that only plays commercials between music tracks. Players are also allowed to immediately skip to the next track if the station is not set as a radio station. Inserting custom music into "User Track Player" consists of placing music files in a "User Tracks" folder, located in its GTA "User Files" folders within My Documents. To ensure recently inserted tracks are sure to be played, GTA San Andreas requires the players "scan" the music folder using the audio options for new music tracks.

"Mixtape" requires the player to create an iTunes playlist on their iOS device named "GTASA" and add songs to that playlist. After that has been done, they must start up the game, be in any normal vehicle, and keep changing the radio station until they reach "Tape Deck", which is between WCTR and "Radio Off".

Commercials in GTA San Andreas are a gigantic expansion from the previous game, the huge number of fictional products that are advertised in San Andreas dwarfs anything that Rockstar had made until that point. Running time for San Andreas commercials is just a couple of minutes shorter than that of Grand Theft Auto V. Due to the new randomizing mechanics of the stations in San Andreas, commercials could feature on any radio station and in any order. As San Andreas is set in an earlier era, the commercials follow the model set by the commercials in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and depicts the media trends, relevant topics and general atmosphere of the early 1990s.

Some examples of commercials in GTA San Andreas are: "Grin" (a pill to help cure anxiety, depression, and the lack of confidence that comes with raising a family at the suburbs; consuming it is completely safe, "after all, what could be habit forming about a pill that makes you feel better all of the time?"), "Starfish Resort and Casino" (referencing humorously the 1990s obsession with "family friendly" casinos, this is a casino where kids can bet, gain money by making lap dances and selling their organs, "this kind of fun should be illegal!") and "Dreammakers" (referencing the arrival in the 1990s of many immigrants from ex-communist countries, it offers a start of a career in Vinewood; women that "are only attractive but can hardly read or act will have to sleep their way to the top", and men that "are fat, boring, and have no ideas of their own [are] perfect, why not be movie producers!")

Dopealicious FM is advertised on billboards throughout the state. However, it is not available for selection at any time during the game and has no songs or DJs associated with it. It is unknown whether the station was originally intended to be a real station but dropped during the development of the game, or if was simply designed to sit alongside other fake brands advertised in the game.

In the PS2 files, there is a list of radio station genres, with "Country" being listed as "Early Rave", indicating that originally, there was a Rave station present in the game. Furthermore, the following song was requested and approved to be in the game; however, due to the station being scrapped, it went unused:

In an October 2004 issue of PSM2 magazine, a preview for San Andreas disclosed that Flash FM was considered for the game at some point. It is also possible that the GTA Vice City rendition was used as a placeholder before the radio line-up was finalized.

In the same October 2004 PSM2 preview, an unknown station was known only as "Hit Radio". It's unknown what genre it would play; however, judging by the name and the rest of the list, it might have been an early moniker for CSR 103.9.

With a total of 11 radio stations, 155 songs, and 8 different talk shows, our GTA San Andreas Radio Stations and Song list guide details the name and genre of every station, as well as a full list of songs that you can expect to hear in-game. This guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox, PC, and PS5.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an open-world, action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. First released on 16 October 2004 for the PlayStation 2, San Andreas has an in-game radio that can tune in to eleven stations playing more than 150 tracks of licensed music, as well as a talk radio station. The songs featured on the radio stations originated in or before the early 1990s, the period in which the game is set.

The game's music has been released on two official soundtracks; Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack, released in November 2004, consisting of selections from the in-game radio, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack Box Set, released in December 2004, consisting of eight volumes comprising most of the songs from the game's radio stations. Critical reception to the soundtracks was positive, as reviewers felt that the selected tracks connected appropriately with the gameplay and period.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack features selected tracks from the in-game radio stations. It was released as a three-disc album on November 23, 2004, by Interscope Records. The first two discs featured the songs, while the third disc is a DVD featuring The Introduction, a short machinima video depicting events before the game.[3]

Long before DSE was founded, in 1982, Andreas was a journalist at a German radio station where he developed the first work re-integration training for blind people. This project was directly inspired by Andreas' colleague and friend who lost his eyesight and had to be accustomed to work again.

In 1988, Andreas became deputy director of the Foundation for the Blind in Frankfurt. It was here where he presented the Dialogue in the Dark for the first time (1988). Andreas was inspired. He furthermore created the first electronic newspaper for blind readers (1990) and published electronic books (1992-1994). The very first permanent Dialogue in the Dark exhibition in Hamburg was opened in 2000. Over the years, this venue deservingly received its name as "Dialoghaus", which in English means "house of dialogue". Today, Dialoghaus offers most of the exhibitions & programs designed by DSE. Dialoghaus is also the home office of DSE.

Throughout decades of committed work, Andreas has won various international awards for his contributions. He is the first Ashoka Fellow in Europe (2005) and a Global Fellow of the Schwab Foundation of the WEF (2007). Andreas has, with Orna Cohen, co-created Dialogue in Silence (2000) and Dialogue with Time (2014). He is an active speaker and publisher (TED, WEF, GSBS) and holds a professorship at the European Business School, where he teaches Social Business course, since 2011. He is teaching abroad, and serves as a board member and advisor on several international boards.

Transferring his know-how and mission to the incubator of Dialogue Social Enterprise, Andreas Heinecke today still remains the driving innovator for new concepts and exhibitions aimed at overcoming stereotype mindsets by breaking communication barriers.


The Big Ear is a large radio telescope located on the top of a desert mesa in Bone County. There are various smaller buildings and shacks around the satellite dish itself that make up the entire satellite complex.

This myth is slightly associated with The Big Ear. It is about an unknown radio station that appears when the player is near the Big Ear. While driving a vehicle, players say that the strange radio station will be picked up by the car's radio. The radio station has been said to appear under these titles:

On August 15, 1977, The Big Ear received a strange narrow-band radio signal that was not from the earth nor the solar system. The signal, nicknamed The Wow! Signal, has been the subject of significant media attention, and there has been much speculation in the past as to whether or not the signal was artificial or natural. This same signal is used again in the Beam Me Up sculpture in Grand Theft Auto V.
