The Area 53 logo used in GTA IV.
Area 53 is a call-in talk radio show in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description[]
Area 53 is hosted by Marvin Trill, a famous Epsilonist, who broadcasts the show live from his trailer in the desert on the West Coast Talk Radio (WCTR) radio station. The show consists of three episodes averaging just over two and a half minutes each and is known for discussing Aliens, UFOs, the Epsilon Program, Water Pollution, Mind Control, and Strange Noises, among other myths. A few myth related characters are callers on the show, such as The Truth and Manuel. The show does not appear in games after GTA San Andreas, but Marvin Trill reappears in Grand Theft Auto IV as the host of a website with the same name.
The show is named after Area 51, a US military installation known for being the topic of numerous conspiracy theories related to Aliens and UFOs. A similar location appears in the game under the name Area 69.
