About Emotion 98.3:
Emotion 98.3 is this Grand Theft Auto soundtrack's power ballad radio station, playing all the songs that set both the hearts and the loins on fire, but where the heart remains true.
The DJ on Emotion 98.3, Fernando Martinez, is one of the recurring radio characters throughout the Grand Theft Auto series of games, also making appearances on the GTA 3 soundtrack (being interviewed on talk radio station Chatterbox FM by Lazlow), the Vice City Stories soundtrack (as a reporter on Emotion 98.3), and on the San Andreas soundtrack (where he takes over a relationship talk show on radio station WCTR).
Fernando Martinez would like his listeners to think that he is an immigrant of some latin descent, and he specifically says that he identifies with the group Foreigner because it reminds him of his roots, but it was revealed in GTA 3 that he was born in upstate Liberty City.
At one point during the show Fernando mentions that he introduced an ugly woman to "this snooty little English kid or something standing all alone", possibly referring to in-game character Kent Paul, a guy who hangs out in the Malibu Club and doesn't seem to have what the ladies are looking for.
One of the many funny comments that Fernando has on this show is when he says that many people call the radio station and ask if he is bilingual (meaning he speaks two languages fluently), and he then claims that he's willing to try anything once (possibly mistaking the word "bilingual" for "bisexual").
The song Crockett's Theme by artist Jan Hammer is a special track since it was featured on the TV series Miami Vice which was a major inspiration for the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The radio station Emotion 98.3 also appears on the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories soundtrack, featuring a different DJ but with Fernando Martinez as a roving reporter.
