GTA 5 Story Mode radio sits on the vehicle wheel, split by genre and host. Talk radio is county-locked, later editions add stations the original consoles never had, and PC can play your own files. Where you are driving and which edition you are playing decide what you can actually tune in.

How Story Mode radio works
Open the radio wheel in a vehicle to change stations. Time slows while it is open in Story Mode and Director Mode, which is handy until you try it in North Yankton, where the wheel does not exist. You can also cycle stations one by one if you would rather skip the wheel.
Drive across a county line and a talk station can vanish. That is the county lock, not a broken radio.
Later editions and GTA Online overlap
Read the edition line before you hunt for a station. Original PS3 and Xbox 360, Enhanced, Expanded & Enhanced, and PC do not share one dial.
A few later Story Mode stations also exist in GTA Online. That overlap does not import the rest of the Online dial, and later Online playlist changes stay in Online.
Self Radio is not another licensed music station. Individual songs are not listed.
Common mistakes
- A missing station on original consoles is usually an edition limit.
- Self Radio does not appear on PlayStation or Xbox.
- Do not mix later GTA Online playlists into these Story Mode stations.
- GTA Online-only stations stay off the Story Mode wheel.
FAQ
Does this include GTA Online-only radio stations?
No. It covers GTA 5 Story Mode radio across Original, Enhanced, and Expanded & Enhanced. Kult FM, Still Slipping Los Santos, Music Locker Radio, Media Player, and MOTOMAMI Los Santos stay in GTA Online. MOTOMAMI was briefly selectable in GTA V and then removed.
Why are some stations missing on PS3 or Xbox 360?
The Lab reached original consoles in Ill-Gotten Gains Part 2. blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM, Los Santos Underground Radio, and iFruit Radio stay on Enhanced and Expanded & Enhanced. Self Radio is PC only.
How do I add my own music on Self Radio?
On PC, drop audio files into the User Music folder, then tune to Self Radio. Cliff Lane and Andee can add DJ imaging if you turn that option on. Self Radio does not exist on PlayStation or Xbox.
Did GTA Online change some of these stations?
GTA Online later ran different playlists or hosts on some of the same names, including Radio Los Santos, West Coast Classics, FlyLo FM, WorldWide FM, and iFruit Radio. If you heard a different set in Online, that is GTA Online, not the Story Mode mix.
