Rockstar has officially revealed six GTA 6 radio stations: Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics. Each one has a preview on Rockstar’s music page with three confirmed tracks. The full station count is not official. Edge magazine reports 23 reported.

The six were unveiled on October 8, 2026, about six weeks before the November 19 launch. Rockstar’s line is that the game “features the biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio and podcasts yet,” with stations “dedicated to everything from Classic Rock to Talk Radio”. Classic rock and talk radio are not among the six shown, which is one more sign that more stations are coming.

How many radio stations are in GTA 6?

Two numbers are circulating, and they mean different things.

GTAVice.net’s summary of the Edge preview states plainly that “Grand Theft Auto VI will feature 23 radio stations”. Edge had hands-on access and spoke to Rockstar, so the figure is credible. But it is not on any Rockstar page, and Rockstar has not listed the other 17 stations. We will move it to confirmed when the game is out or Rockstar publishes it.

Twenty-three would sit comfortably with Rockstar’s “biggest and widest-ranging” claim, but that is our reading, not a Rockstar statement speculation.

Every confirmed GTA 6 radio station

Station names, blurbs, host persona names and preview tracks below are taken from Rockstar’s own pages confirmed. Rockstar credits hosts only by persona. The real-world identities come from press coverage, chiefly Man of Many’s October 9 roundup reported.

Cocoteo FM

Rockstar’s blurb: “Modern Latin from El Martillo and La Gata. El party que nunca se apaga.” It is the natural soundtrack for Vice City traffic. Its preview page is the landing page for Rockstar’s radio previews.

Back Country Radio

“Airboat-ready renegade country from MW and Delta Dawne.” This is the first dedicated country station since San Andreas, which Den of Geek flagged after Tammy Wynette turned up on the Trailer 2 soundtrack. Expect it on the airboat routes through Grassrivers.

Flash FM

“The Vice City institution that delivers the best in pop music and guaranteed grooves with Robyn and Alex.” Flash FM is the one confirmed returning station, a direct callback to 2002’s GTA Vice City. More callbacks are collected on our easter eggs page.

Which old stations are coming back?

Only Flash FM is confirmed. Wikipedia’s GTA VI article lists V-Rock, Emotion 98.3 and Vice City FM as returning, but that rests on leak and press reporting, not on Rockstar’s page rumour. Jason wears a V-Rock T-shirt in Trailer 2, which Den of Geek read as either a station revival or simply a nod reported. Kotaku catalogued songs and stations spotted in the 2026 CyberLeek footage, which we have not verified rumour.

Can you listen to the radio outside a car?

Yes. Jason and Lucia can play radio and podcasts on foot through earbuds connected to their in-game phones, which Man of Many describes as a series first reported. Rockstar’s own copy confirms the game includes “in-game radio and podcasts” confirmed. The phone itself is covered in phone and social media.

Are the trailer songs on the radio?

Not confirmed for Trailers 1 and 2. Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road” and the Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together” sound like radio picks, but Rockstar has not placed them on a station. Justice’s “Flower in a Hurricane” is on The Album and the Justice score. How the 34 original Album tracks are spread across stations is not yet known.

What we’re watching

The full station list lands on November 19. We will add the remaining stations, hosts and tracklists as they are verified in-game, and confirm or correct Edge’s 23. Until then, every station above is one Rockstar has shown itself.
