Galaxy News Radio ( radio ) Galaxy News Radio is a radio station based in Washington , D . C . in 2277 . Background . Galaxy News Radio is the remnant of the pre - War Galaxy News Network . An energetic man named Three Dog created the radio station in 2272 with the help of a technician named Margaret . By 2277 it is the most popular radio station in the Capital Wasteland . Three Dog also provides a commentary on the actions of the Lone Wanderer . The station plays music from a selection of twenty pre - War songs . These songs all focus around 1940s American hits . This radio station plays more or less late 40s blues , pop , and some early 50s proto - rockabilly , compared to the Enclave radio who play more traditional patriotic songs . Format . Galaxy News Radio ( GNR ) splits its time between wasteland news , survival advice , and big band music . Three Dog operates the station as part of the " Good Fight , " which he explains is his attempt to inform inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland how " things really are " and expose the Enclave ' s true intentions . He also explains that the reason he plays the same few songs over and over is because they are the only records he ' s been able to locate in playable condition . As the Lone Wanderer advances throughout the game , they will periodically hear Three Dog report on their exploits , each based on how they handled a given situation . For example , if the Lone Wanderer disarms the nuke as part of The Power of the Atom , Three Dog will mention this event specifically in a news broadcast . Before each quest - related news broadcast , Three Dog will refer to the Lone Wanderer by their current Karma level . For example , if their current Karma ranking is " Paladin , " Three Dog will introduce them by stating , " A Paladin walks among us children . And no , this ain ' t one of our buddies from the Brotherhood . I ' m talking about the knight in shining Vault suit . " If Three Dog dies , he will be relieved on - air by Margaret , his technician . She is far less charismatic and active than Three Dog and will simply play record after record , occasionally breaking in to announce that she ' s taken over for the normal DJ because he ' s dead and all she has to play are the records . Margaret ' s broadcasts will continue for the duration of the game ; she cannot be encountered in any sense . " Fallout 4 " . Galaxy News Radio ( also known as Silver Shroud Radio ) reappears in the Commonwealth , except instead of being the news , survival advice , and big band music , it plays episodes of The Silver Shroud with a limited range to only the Boston Commons area . Related quests . GNR ' s initial signal quality is poor ; it can barely be heard in Megaton and fades out entirely as one gets further away . Patrons inside of Moriarty ' s Saloon comment on this being a recent development . Gob , in particular , responds by physically hitting the radio in annoyance , with Nova explaining that it ' s the signal and not the radio that ' s the problem . If the Lone Wanderer decides to meet Three Dog as part of the main quest line , he explains that his relay dish on the Washington Monument was destroyed when a super mutant shot it to pieces , severely reducing his overall transmission range . The Lone Wanderer can obtain a replacement relay dish from the Virgo II lunar lander in the Museum of Technology and install it on the Washington Monument , which results in the station becoming one of three that can be picked up anywhere within the Capital Wasteland ( the other two being Enclave Radio and Agatha ' s Station ) .
