Summary: San Fierro Underground Radio, abbreviated as SF-UR, is a San Fierro-based (hence the SF abbreviation) house music station hosted by Hans Oberlander (voiced by Lloyd Floyd[4]). Oberlander is a very insecure and hyperactive man with a comical German accent. On a number of occasions he begs the public to hug him and even cries on a song intro. One of two callers is Hans father who orders him to play some Wagner, and Oberlander possibly does drugs as his father continues to say your mother found these pills in your room. Oberlander also inquires if his dealer has shown up yet in another song break. This is the only station not to be released as a San Andreas soundtrack. The song Weekend is Todd Terrys remixed version. The original is present on the Vice City Stories soundtrack. Jomanda - Make My Body Rock (SF-UR)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Y_C9V44z0b4/mqdefault.jpg)

Summary: Radio X is an Alternative and period modern rock radio station hosted by Sage (voiced by Jodie Shawback[4]). Sage is a very self-obsessed woman and self-confessed rebel who seems to always be worked up about something, making her a stereotypical Gen X-er. Sage has a bleak outlook on life and her most apparent obsessions are the sound of her own voice, along with sex as she admits to have slept with the entire Danzig line-up, along with a man she did behind the Cluckin Bell, and pleads could somebody please sleep with me! during the outro to Soundgardens Rusty Cage, amongst at least two other references. She comes from an upper class suburban family that gave her a trust fund, which she takes shame in, stating that she is poor in spirit. Sage has strong dislike towards people over the age of 29, believes in reincarnation and admits to having huffed paint and ether. Sage reacts negatively to the in-game events barring the Los Santos riots, and gets excited when the forecast predicts rain.
Radio X picks up a couple of callers, however these two callers are both voiced by Jeff Berlin who voices and produces the Radio X imaging. The name itself is a possible reference on Generation X, who came of age and were the main listeners of the genre in the early 90s, and/or Detroits alt-rock radio station 89X Radio, which was founded in the very early 90s.

![Sonic The Hedgehog - Stage Clear
Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Sonikku za Hejjihoggu?), trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog,[2] is a title character and the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega, as well as in numerous spin-off comics, cartoons, and a feature film. The first game was released on June 23, 1991, to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendos flagship character Mario (see 1991 in video gaming).[3][4] Since then, Sonic has become one of the worlds best-known video game characters, with his series having sold more than 80 million copies.[5] In 2005, Sonic was one of the first game character inductees into the Walk of Game, alongside Mario and Link.[6]
While many individuals at Sega had a hand in Sonics creation, programmer Yuji Naka and artist Naoto Ōshima are generally credited with the creation of the character,[7] a blue 15-year-old anthropomorphic hedgehog, who has the ability to run at supersonic speeds and the ability to curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies. This is a major part of the gameplay of the series. Sonic The Hedgehog - Stage Clear](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Yv1s9WB7r1g/mqdefault.jpg)

Smith is surprisingly calm and constantly reminds the listeners about the 1970s and the classic rock n roll lifestyle. He dislikes Sage, the Radio X DJ, telling her to get over it! during the intro to Tom Pettys Runnin Down a Dream. In one broadcast, Tommy The Nightmare Smith says that, all we need is patience, I said it before and Ill say it again, probably referring to the Guns N Roses song Patience.
