GTA Vice City / Radio Stations / Emotion 98.3

Emotion 98.3 is hosted by Fernando Martinez and features soft pop, power ballads and soft rock.

Emotion 98.3 is a radio station hosted by Fernando Martinez (voiced by Frank Chavez) in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and by Lionel Makepeace (voiced by Steve Stratton) in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It plays soft pop, power ballads and soft rock.

The station assumes a more relaxed, laid-back, soft attitude than other pop stations. It encourages listeners to not fight their feelings, and even cry. Fernando's poetic yet eccentric musings about passion, emotion and desire become the central part of the radio in his first time as a DJ. He gets lost in his romantic ramblings lots of times, and tells listeners tips on how to pick up ladies, going on with his Latin lover attitude.

As a note, Jan Hammer's "Crockett's Theme" is a reference to Miami Vice, since it is the theme for James "Sonny" Crockett. This song appeared in the 1984 episode "Calderone's Return: Part 1 - The Hit List" of Miami Vice, but was actually released via the Miami Vice II soundtrack album at the very end of 1986 (on December 29), and as a single in 1987. As such, it is slightly anachronistic for it to be broadcast in a radio station during the setting of GTA Vice City.

Emotion 98.3 sponsored several Hotring Racers and Bloodring Bangers in 1986.

As with all of the music radio stations in GTA Vice City, an album of songs from the station is available separately or as part of the 7-CD Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set.
