== Trivia ==
* The dial numbers are the same as KROQ FM, a radio station that broadcasts from Pasadena, California (Cocodina's real life counterpart) that plays alternative and punk rock from the 1980s to the present day. However, in its heyday it played exclusively punk rock, which may explain C.P.W.'s dial numbers.
** In fact, C.P.W.'s slogan is a parody of KROQ's real life slogan "Alternative first"; the station's DJ, Megan Holiday, is a real life DJ for KROQ; and Mike Crank, this station's imaging voice, is the real life imaging voice for KROQ.
* This is Johnny's favorite radio station and Mighty's second favorite radio station.
* Sonic and Shadow both claim to really like this station.
* This is one of the default stations in Mighty's car, with the other being Radio A.X.
* E.C.P.R. is indirectly referred to as "Empire City's punk scene" and the United Kingdom punk scene is called "the British punk invasion" by the DJ, being a joke referencing the British Invasion of Rock & Roll in the 1960s, and how punk rock started in America a little before or around the same time the genre got popular in England.
* Despite claiming to play "real west coast music", the bands Rise Against and Yellowcard; who originate from Chicago, Illinois and Jacksonville, Florida respectively; are featured in the station's playlist. However, their inclusions may be intentional as both bands have a huge cult following in real life southern California.
** Of the remaining artists, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Goldfinger, Off!, Suicidal Tendencies, T.S.O.L. and The Weirdos are from Los Angeles, while Agent Orange, Lit, The Offspring, and Reel Big Fish are from Orange County.
*** Of the DLC artists, the Adolescents and Social Distortion are from Orange County while the Dead Kennedys and Green Day are from the San Francisco Bay Area.
