Robyn and Alex Consani host Flash FM, while Morgan Wallen, Lana Del Rey, and Jeremy Dufrene lead Back Country Radio.

Miami Billboard Contracts and Local Political Disputes
CD-Action reported that Take-Two Interactive targeted a marketing budget of 150 million dollars for Grand Theft Auto 6, sparking friction with local politicians in Miami-Dade County. County Rene Garcia questioned a rooftop advertising contract on the Kaseya Center valued at 975,000 dollars—sitting just under the one million dollar threshold requiring formal commission approval. Interia Gry noted that Miami Beach allocated temporary advertising space for four million dollars, while six temporary banner locations yielded up to 1.2 million dollars. Miami-Dade County officials scheduled a formal board meeting for October 20 to review the remaining municipal advertising agreements. Danielle Coen Higgins, an official who cited regulations prohibiting the promotion of pornography, prostitution, and violence in Miami, shared a similar viewpoint, while representatives for Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s administration rejected accusations that the contract value had been intentionally lowered.
Additional Production Scale and Marketing Investments
Ahead of the November 19 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, the Miami Heat basketball team will host a league game featuring a Vice City-inspired theme on November 18.
