** [=WorldWide=] FM was originally intended to be a jazz-funk station, likely as a successor to Fusion FM from ''IV'' before being reworked into a downtempo and worldbeat oriented station. The prescence of Candido, Tom Browne and Donald Byrd on the station are artifacts of that original concept. The file containing it's audio still refers to it as a jazz station.
** ''V'' was also to feature a station called Pre-Millenium Radio (PMR for short) that would've played 90s alternative rock, and presumably acted as a SpiritualSuccessor to Radio X, similar to West Coast Classics being one to ''San Andreas''' version of Radio Los Santos. It wound up being replaced with Vinewood Boulevard Radio, which is internally referred to as "90s rock" in the game's files.
