What is Flash FM?

Flash FM is the mainstream pop station heard on the car radios of Vice City. It plays the synth-heavy chart music that was everywhere in the mid-1980s, when Vice City is set. It is one of the stations most closely tied to the game, alongside V-Rock and Wave 103.

Who is the DJ on Flash FM?

In Vice City the host is Toni, a bubbly presenter whose links between songs mix gossip, self-promotion and tales about stars she claims to know. According to gta.wiki, one of her stories is a thinly disguised nod to Duran Duran. In Vice City Stories, a prequel set in 1984, Toni shares the station with a second host, Teri. Julie Wemyss, who also wrote and sang songs credited to the fictional duo Conor & Jay, sings some of the station jingles.
