107.77 The Mix FM AKA The Mix 107.77 [1] is a radio station in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third[2][3] and Saints Row IV.
Description
In each game, The Mix 107.77 changes genre slightly.
- In Saints Row 2, it plays iconic 1980s pop and rock hits.
- In Saints Row: The Third it has expanded it's music variety and now plays 80s and 90s pop, rock and hip-hop.
- In Saints Row IV, its purpose as an 80s station has been mostly forgotten. It takes on the role of a generic 'flashback' station, playing a wide variety of genres, although mostly hip-hop and rock, from between the years 1976-2000. This type of genre-shift is also noticeable with the so-called "Generation X" station, which plays music outside of the normal range of "Generation X", and instead plays modern alternative rock. In Saints Row: The Third, The Mix 107.77 plays music from some Generation X bands, such as Faith No More's Epic.
