== Trivia ==
* The "X" is a reference to Generation X, the generation born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, and half of this station contains music from said generation.
** In addition, the "Alternative" references the modern alternative rock also played on the station.
* The dial numbers are no coincidence; 98.7 are also the dial numbers of KYSR, better known as Alt 98.7, a real life radio station in southern California that that plays alternative rock. KYSR also has the same imaging voice as Radio A.X., Neal Martin.
* Eleven of the artists in the playlist (Banks, Fitz and The Tantrums, Incubus, Jane's Addiction, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Sublime, Velvet Revolver, and Weezer) originate from California, with the Stone Temple Pilots, Sublime, and Velvet Revolver being the only ones not from Los Angeles, with Sublime being from Long Beach, the Stone Temple Pilots being from San Diego, and Velvet Revolver originating in Rancho Santa Margarita.
** Coincidentally, the latter two of the non-Los Angeles-based bands had the late Scott Weiland as their lead vocalist, who was still alive during the events of SA4.
** In addition, Banks was born in Orange County, California but raised in Los Angeles.
** All of the non-California artists originated from Seattle, Washington except for the Arctic Monkeys, who originated from the United Kingdom.
*** Of the DLC artists, Dramarama, originating from New Jersey, is the only artist not from southern California, as the Cold War Kids are from Long Beach, The Neighbourhood originates from Ventura, and No Doubt is from Anaheim.
* This is the favorite radio station of Sonic and Mighty, and second favorite station of Marine and Jet.
* This is one of the default stations in the vehicles of Sonic, Mighty, Marine and Jet, with the others being C.R.O.K., C.P.W., Planet Pop Radio, and Power Nation respectively.
* The song "Superhero" by Jane's Addiction is the theme song to the HBO television program Entourage, which the game references occasionally.
* The Red Hot Chili Peppers' track "Californication" inspired the game's subtitle and plays during the game's reveal trailer.
** There is also a television show of the same name that aired on Showtime, which the game makes passing references to.
