Following the mission Veteran Child, Ultor purchases the station and renames it "89.0 Ultor FM". The DJ for Ultor FM is the Ultor computer. The tracklist stays the same, but callers often comment on the new DJ being strange.[5][6][7]

Trivia[]

  • 89.0 Generation X and Ultor FM are defined as separate stations in the game files, so if a car is saved in the Garage with the radio set to 89.0 Generation X, it remains on that station after it is bought by Ultor. If the radio station is later changed, it is not possible to change it back.
  • Despite being called Generation X, the station plays Generation Y music.
