GTA 6 radio — official trailer audio vs unofficial station names

Official Grand Theft Auto VI Vice City still — Image: Rockstar Games.

Rockstar has given GTA 6 soundtrack tape in two trailers and an Extended Look. It has not given you a radio menu. Official audio is licensed songs on Rockstar’s own files. Station names on the internet stay unofficial until a Newswire or a Support page says otherwise.

Official audio
Trailer 1 Tom Petty. Trailer 2 licensed music. Extended Look music on the official YouTube file. Not a station card.

Screenshot captions
The library does not name a station.

Unofficial names
Plane-clip recaps. Posts 75 and 78. Not a Newswire.

Not a roster
We will not print a full station list.

Official vs unofficial — say it out loud

Official: songs on Rockstar-hosted trailers and the Extended Look. Trailer 1, 4 December 2023 — Tom Petty, “Love Is a Long Road.” Trailer 2, 6 May 2025 — more licensed music, gameplay and cutscenes captured in-game on PlayStation 5, per Rockstar. Extended Look already aired 27 August 2026; official YouTube id tJbzMqJGH4k. Same cut as the Netflix window. That is trailer and showcase audio. It is not a dial, a DJ intro, or a frequency.

Unofficial: V-Rock, Emotion 98.3, Stockyard, On-Demand. Those strings came from plane-clip recaps our desk logged in posts 75 and 78. Returning 2002 names are nostalgia, not a VI booking. The official screenshot library still does not caption a station.

I hosted V-Rock in 2002. That is a Vice City credit. Emotion 98.3 was on that same 1986 dial. Those names belong to a different game.

Trailer 2 is the densest licensed-music cut Rockstar has posted. Embed below is the official Rockstar file only — id VQRLujxTm3c. The Extended Look music bed lives on the Extended Look hub (id tJbzMqJGH4k; age-gate blocks a clean iframe there, so that page uses the watch link). We do not embed leak audio.

If a list on the internet has twenty stations, a DJ booth, and a format card, that is someone else’s homework. The album hole is the soundtrack hub. The locker sheet is still the editions hub. Iron is the weapons hub. Metal is the vehicles hub. GTA6 NOW is independent. We are not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. We do not host leak files or leak audio.

Unofficial names from the 20 August plane clip

Circulating. Unverified. The daytime crop-duster clip we covered as the LEEK-wall note, and again in the leak-pile longread, is not a Newswire. Recap channels and our own write-up of those recaps listed station identifiers. We are not hosting the file. We are not promoting a YouTube overlay to a roster.

Name from the recaps	Where we logged it	Not this
V-Rock	Post 75 recap auto-captions. Post 78 radio-interface note. Returning name from 2002.	A DJ. A playlist. A claim the 2002 booth is booked for November.
Emotion 98.3	Post 78. Post 75 recaps shortened it to Emotion. Also a 2002 name.	A format card. A host. A claim the 2002 booth is the 2026 booth.
Stockyard	Post 78. Recaps also said Stockyard FM.	A city. A host. A claim we heard the full hour.
On-Demand	Post 75 and post 78 describe a slot, not a station with a frequency.	A streaming spec. A licensed-catalog dump. A Spotify clone.

Post 75’s recap auto-captions also named other stations. We will not copy that overlay into a finished list. Four unofficial names and one slot is the desk line. A twenty-row wiki is someone filling blanks.

The UI claims stay unofficial

WhosImmortal’s recap, as auto-captioned in post 75, said the radio is a horizontal strip instead of a GTA V wheel, and that you can mute one station without killing the radio. That is a recap of unofficial footage. It is not a control scheme on a Support page. Gtamen’s recap, same post, said V-Rock was playing Stevie Nicks’ “For What It’s Worth.” Auto-captions. Not a playlist we can print as official.

Extended Look already aired 27 August — Netflix 3:00 p.m. ET, then YouTube and the VI site at 9:00 p.m. ET. The showcase did not print a station roster, a host card, or a Support dial. Until Rockstar names a station, the table above stays in the unofficial column.

The song-date fight is not a spec sheet

One read of circulating audio hears Tate McRae’s “Sports Car,” a January 2025 release, and uses that to kill a 2023 capture date. Other people still point at 2023 file tags. Post 78 already said the FFmpeg 2023 tag is the encoder’s compile date, not the frame’s birthday. We have not authenticated the audio. A licensed single is not a radio bible, and it is not a build number.

That fight lives on the leak tracker as unverified. It does not move a name onto the official list.
