GTA 6 Radio Stations: All Six Revealed, Plus Podcasts

Rockstar Games just turned the volume up on Leonida. On October 8, 2026, the studio revealed the first six radio stations for Grand Theft Auto VI, complete with audio previews on its website, and confirmed a series first that changes how you will soak up the soundtrack: on-demand podcasts, plus the ability to listen to radio and podcasts on foot, not just behind the wheel. With the game launching November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, the hype train just got a killer playlist.

• Six stations revealed: Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics.
• First for the series: on-demand podcasts, alongside always-on talk radio, per VGC and Pure Xbox.
• On-foot listening via headphones or earbuds paired to your character's in-game phone.
• Rockstar's music page lists GTA VI: The Album as coming November 19.

What Are the GTA 6 Radio Stations?

Here is the lineup so far, with hosts as reported by VGC and Pure Xbox:

• Cocoteo FM: modern Latin sounds, from bachata and merengue to dembow and reggaeton, hosted by El Martillo and La Gata.
• Back Country Radio: renegade country with MW and Delta Dawne, plus roving reporter Mud Dog Mike.
• AfroBank FM: African music spanning 20th-century classics to amapiano and 3-step, hosted by Burna and Palmsy.
• The Chamber 106.6: classic metal from the '80s onward with DJ Kerry and DJ Tom.
• Flash FM: the pop station returns, a genuine Vice City institution for longtime fans, hosted by Robyn and Alex.
• Dirty South Classics: regional rap and hip-hop classics with Trick and Trina.

Pure Xbox reports that the previews feature artists including Bad Bunny, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer and DJ Khaled. Rockstar's site teases the full range running from classic rock to talk radio, so more stations are clearly still to come.

Can You Listen to the Radio on Foot in GTA 6?

Yes, and honestly, it is about time. According to VGC, radio stations and podcasts can now be played while you are walking around, not only in vehicles. Your character pops in headphones or earbuds connected to their phone, so the soundtrack follows you from a beach stroll in Vice City to a swamp-side detour in the Grassrivers. It is a small systems change with a big vibe payoff, the kind of quality-of-life tweak that makes an open world feel lived in.

How Do GTA 6 Podcasts Work?

Talk radio in GTA has always run continuously, like real broadcast radio. Podcasts are different: VGC presumes they are on-demand, meaning you choose an episode and listen from the start rather than tuning into whatever is airing. Given the series' long tradition of sharp satirical talk shows, a library of pick-and-play episodes could become a fan favorite all on its own.

Why This Reveal Matters

Radio is part of Grand Theft Auto's identity. Plenty of players can still hum their favorite station from Vice City or San Andreas, and Flash FM's return is a lovely nod to that history. Pairing classic-style stations with modern listening habits like podcasts and earbuds shows Rockstar updating a beloved tradition rather than just repeating it.
