GTA 6 Brings Back Vice City FM and V-Rock: Two More Stations Spotted in Miami Billboards

✅ CONFIRMED

Rockstar’s Miami marketing blitz has revealed two more GTA 6 radio stations — blasts from the past. Logos for Vice City FM and V-Rock FM have been spotted on digital billboards across the real-world Vice City takeover, confirming the return of two of the series’ most beloved stations.

Quick answer: Two more GTA 6 radio stations — Vice City FM and V-Rock — were spotted in Rockstar’s Miami billboards. Vice City FM is the 80s pop station last heard in Liberty City; V-Rock is the metal station from the original Vice City. They join the six stations Rockstar confirmed on October 8, taking the known GTA 6 line-up to eight.

Key takeaways

• Digital billboards in Rockstar’s Miami marketing campaign show logos for Vice City FM and V-Rock FM.
• Creator Joel Franco (OfficialJoelF) first flagged the two stations in an X video of the Miami ad campaign on October 19.
• Vice City FM is an 80s-themed pop station last heard in Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City.
• V-Rock is the 80s rock and metal station from the original 2002 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, once hosted by Lazlow Jones.
• Eight of GTA 6’s radio stations are now known — and Rockstar has said the official reveal was only a preview.

Where were the two new stations spotted?

The logos were first flagged by creator Joel Franco, posting as OfficialJoelF on X, in a video of the Miami campaign — reported by indy100’s live blog on October 19 — and independently confirmed by noobfeed on October 21: “Two newly spotted digital billboards have revealed radio stations that the game’s promotional material had not previously confirmed… the advertisements confirm the return of Vice City FM and V-Rock FM.”

The campaign is doing more than selling the game — it’s sketching out Leonida’s commercial world. A ResetEra thread tracking Insider Gaming’s coverage of the “crude ads” notes Franco’s photos also show a Weazel News van, Vice City Manatees kiosk ads and fictional brand spots (“Go Topless” Pfister, “Suddenly You Are Big Enough” Kowalski, “Always Come Early” Kronos), plus nightclub ads and parodies of news channels, car brands and drinks.

What is Vice City FM — and when did we last hear it?

Vice City FM is the 80s-themed pop station that first soundtracked players’ cruises through the original Vice City — and it was last heard in Liberty City as part of Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City. Its return in GTA 6 brings it home to the city that gave it its name.

Its return alongside Flash FM — the other classic pop station from the original Vice City, already among GTA 6’s six officially confirmed stations — gives GTA 6 two heritage pop stations: nostalgia without trapping the soundtrack in the 80s.

What is V-Rock — and who’s hosting it this time?

V-Rock is the 80s rock and metal station from the original 2002 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, famously hosted by Lazlow Jones — one of the defining sounds of the game.

One open question: who hosts it now? Lazlow Jones left Rockstar in 2020, so a straight return behind the mic looks unlikely. The billboards reveal branding, not DJs — but with real musicians already confirmed across the official line-up (Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey, Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya, Robyn, Trick Daddy, Trina), the two new booths could feature anyone. See our GTA 6 radio hosts guide for the full line-up so far.

Do the billboards tell us anything else?

The stations aren’t the only in-game details to surface. The same ads feature nightclubs appearing in GTA 6, alongside the wider real-world takeover: the Goodyear blimp in Vice City livery, the $975,000 “Welcome to Vice City” rooftop sign, the free Wynwood Walls partnership, the Miami Heat playing as “Vice City” on November 18, and real GTA 6 beers reaching Miami bars.

GTA 6 radio stations confirmed so far

Rockstar’s official first six came via the GTA 6 website’s music section on October 8 — and Rockstar has said that announcement was a preview, not the complete launch line-up:

What this means

The players who cruised Ocean Drive to these stations in 2002 are now in their thirties and forties — the demographic for the $99.99 Ultimate Edition and the $399.99 merch box. Keeping the 80s stations alive alongside the contemporary line-up lets Rockstar sell Leonida as a continuum: same city, new decade.

It also suggests the dial is bigger than the official preview implied. If two heritage stations slipped out via billboards, the full launch line-up could be sprawling — especially with on-foot radio and on-demand podcasts joining the mix. For the album picture, see our GTA 6 soundtrack and album guide and our breakdown of the first six confirmed stations.
