• Rockstar North is currently working to implement something new based on the radio system. What it is? We have no idea.
• Unlike other GTAs, IV will have a lesser known voice cast and music that isn't distinctly popular or obvious to the 2007 settings. Expect many unsigned bands or indies to show up.

• There are over 100 radio commericals.
• Recording took several weeks to complete, each day lasting 10 hours.
