* Big radio personalities in general need to be self-promoters. Radio shows don't get the same kind of marketing push that TV shows and movies get, so successful radio hosts tend to be very comfortable with blowing their own horn.

** Fallout 3 also features an aversion: if Three Dog is killed, his replacement, Margaret, drops the news segments and prefaces the music with annoyed comments about just being a technician and the actual DJ having been killed. Apparently, just being put in front of a microphone is ''not'' sufficient for this trope to kick in in the Fallout universe.

Radio, especially the amateur variety, will always attract a certain type of DJ/Announcer, namely a LargeHam. At least in fiction.

* Double subverted with ''FamilyGuy'': One episode had Brian end up with a radio show after criticizing the local {{Dumbass DJ}}s. His show started off intelligent, {{NPR}}-ish, and performing poorly with listeners. After Stewie prank calls the show, the [[ExecutiveMeddling executives force Brian to add him to the show]], at which point it devolves into exactly the kind of thing he was complaining about earlier, complete with HowardStern-esque antics and annoying sound clips.
