This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Rockstar Games has provided new information regarding the in-game radio stations for Grand Theft Auto 6. The developer has made six of these stations available for preview on the official GTA 6 website. These stations will feature a mix of music across various genres, talk radio segments, and podcasts, a first for the series.

The announced radio stations include Cocoteo FM (Latin music, hosted by El Martillo and La Gata), Back Country Radio (country music, hosted by MW and Delta Dawne), AfroBank FM (African music, hosted by Burna Boy and Palms Trax), The Chamber 106.6 (metal music, hosted by DJ Kerry and DJ Tom), Flash FM (pop music, hosted by Robyn and Alex), and Dirty South Classics (rap and hip hop music, hosted by Trick Daddy and Trina). The game's soundtrack is set to be released on November 19, the same day as Grand Theft Auto 6.

Disagreement on specific hosts

While most reports agree on the general details of the radio stations, some differ on the specific celebrity hosts mentioned. For instance, Billboard and Just Jared list Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen as hosts, with Just Jared also mentioning her husband Jeremy Dufrene. Metro News lists Robyn and Alex for Flash FM, and Trick and Trina for Dirty South Classics. Sapo mentions Bad Bunny and Lana Del Rey as announcers, while La Razón also names Bad Bunny and Lana Del Rey as radio announcers. Vibe and Miami New Times specifically mention Trick Daddy and Trina hosting Dirty South Classics. Leadership states Burna Boy will co-host AfroBank FM with Palms Trax.
