I fondly remember a trip to the USA in 2007. I was visiting a friend in Phoenix, only to find out that the KDST channel in GTA SA wasn't entirely parody.

Got those who don't know, GTA had a bunch of parody radio channels, KDST was the rock turned channel where Guns and Roses front man, Axl Rose was the voice actor for the DJ.

Turns out there was a rock station in Phoenix KDKB 'everything that rocks' where Alice Cooper hosted a show a couple hours every evening. If was really surreal driving around in America, for the first time, with a channel on that would occasionally play one of the songs in the GTA playlist.

Anyway I listened to them back home for a while, via internet radio, because we don't have dedicated rock radio. Unfortunately they got sold off... Rip

Well if you brunch at a typical retirement home, won't you get that type of radio?

Yeah I only got the community name after posting and decide to keep it up regardless. The difference in radio culture is quite notable.
