what does the K stand for in all the radio stations in every game?

thanks

[Starion]

there isnt a k in every station.

[Lioshenka]

K-DST

K-Rose

K-Jah

etc not all but many

I'm not really sure, but from something I read on Wikipedia a while ago, I read that most station west of the Misissipi River have K as a prefix to the radio name (K-ACL, K-DST, K-CHAT, K-JAH, K-ROSE).

 

See? It's just a prefix. The strange thing is that Vice City and Liberty City are both east of the Misissipi River, so I guess that's a mistake by Rockstar.

 

Hope I helped.

You are correct, all stations on the west of the mississippi river have call letters that begin with a "K" and all stations on the east of the mississippi have call letters that start with a "W". so since san andreas is California/Nevada all stations have a K (K-rose, K-Dst, etc. The only exception is WCTR.) and since Vice City and Liberty City are Modled after Florida an New York respectivly, these Stations start with a W(except for K-chat and chatterbox fm). It is to make the radiostations seem more like real life radiostations-for instance the stations here have call letters with W(WYCL, Wyct, etc).

[completeidiot23]

so does the K or W stand for anything inside or outside GTA??

[radioman]

Yes, K and W are used in real life radio stations, If the station is on the west of the mississippi river, the call letters start with K, and on the east side, it starts with a W. I mentioned this in my last post, by the way.

[Stefan.]

I think he's asking if it stands for anything, as in an abbreviation.

 

PS: Did I spell Misissipi right? I mean, I'm good at my geography, but I don't live in the United States.

[Lioshenka]

wait, does it mean that in the States you can get a station with proper name like Liberty radio or WestCoast radio but you get K-Liberty and W-Westcoast indtead????
