Blaine County Radio Community Hour is a call-in talk radio show in Grand Theft Auto V.
Description[]
Blaine County Radio Community Hour is hosted by Ron Jakowski, a paranoid conspiracy theorist. There is only one segment present in the vanilla game; which is about 20 minutes in length. A newer episode of the podcast was created for the Smuggler's Run update for GTA Online. It is assumed that Ron hosts the show from his home in Sandy Shores, as one of the game's artworks depicts. The radio show also has a page on LifeInvader, but none of the protagonists can access it. The show discusses multiple topics regarding conspiracy theories and paranormal activity, many of which reference real life conspiracies or myths found in previous Grand Theft Auto titles.
Various topics are shown on the program, including Aliens, the robotic apocalypse, Big Pharma, and Reptilians.
The show can be considered the successor to Area 53, a radio show about the paranormal found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
