== Trivia ==
* Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Silver, and Henry Smith are all fans of this station.
* Of the artists present, Alice Cooper, The Bob Seger System, Rare Earth, The Romantics, The Stooges, and Ted Nugent are from Detroit; and Grand Funk Railroad are from Flint, Michigan.
* During a cutscene, Sonic reveals that he is a fan of the English rock band Genesis. He ends up going on a short monologue about them involving his opinions:
** He has been a fan since their 1980 album Duke, as he felt everything prior was too artsy and intellectual for him.
** He believes their 1986 album Invisible Touch is their masterpiece through the nuance of every instrument and lyrical content.
*** He then brings up "Land of Confusion" and its subject on abusive political authority.
** This entire monologue is a reference to the 2000 black comedy/psychological thriller American Psycho, as the film's protagonist Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale) says these exact things plus more during a scene in which he is discussing his favorite music artists.
** It may also be a subtle in-joke towards Sega themselves as a result of their second home gaming console, the Sega Genesis.
* Despite being based in Detroit, the "FM" in the station's logo is the same color scheme as the American football team, the Chicago Bears.
** However, the "ROCK" in the logo is the color of Detroit's basketball team, the Pistons, implying a subtle jab at Chicago.
* "Cat Scratch Fever" by Ted Nugent plays during one of Silver's sidequest missions with Blaze, following her exploding with anger.
* "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones was featured in many of Martin Scorsese's crime films, especially The Departed, which the game references on numerous occasions.
* Grand Funk Railroad's "Nothing Is the Same" was sampled by Masta Ace in his 1990 song "Music Man", which can be heard in Sonic Adventure 3: Sleepless Minute on Empire City's Classics.
*The version of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis played on this station is the extended remix, not the album version.
**This makes the band's album Invisible Touch appearing in the game as a collectible album cover not fitting, since the extended remix was only released as a single and not on the album.
