Grand Theft Auto 2/Radio stations

Each area features five radio stations from a pool of eleven, in which one of them would be played as the player drives most vehicles in game. Changing radio stations for preference was also possible in the Windows PC version by using the "F1" key and also in the PlayStation version by pressing the "up" directional button. "Head Radio" was present in the original Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Each gang also has its own radio station that transmits within a limited area. The theme song on the main title screen is the song "Short change" by the group E-Z Rollers.
