Rush City FM

Fourteen stations.
Zero real brands.

Rush City FM is fourteen music stations, RUSH TALK and the police scanner: 210 songs by bands that don't exist, DJs who talk over the intro, ads for things you shouldn't buy, and news that reports your last car chase. Every car comes tuned to its own station, and the stations keep playing while you're away. All the bad advice you need.

Live: everyone hears the same song at the same time. All 210 songs of the game are on air — every music station plays its whole playlist about every 45 minutes. Like real radio: no skipping, just change the station.

  • Jay NeonThe 4EVER BOYS member nobody remembers. Hosts Night Glow: slow jams after midnight, lonely hearts, and hints of a reunion.
