{{examples}}

* The [[PDQ Bach]] albums ''P.D.Q. Bach on the Air'' and ''WTWP: Classical Talkity-Talk Radio''.

* In a spoken word example, the [[H.P. Lovecraft]] Historical Society has released several CDs of Lovecraft story adaptations in the style of 1930s Mercury Theater radio dramas, complete with studio announcements and mock-cigarette ads.

* Bomb The Bass' ''Into The Dragon'' pretends to tune through a variety of radio stations, sometimes even ending up on another station right at the end of playing a different song. There's also DJ banter introducing the songs—in one case, in Japanese.

* [[Da Yoopers]] did this on several albums, starting with ''Culture Shock''.

* For the most part, Cotton Candy's ''Top Notch And First Rate'' is set up to sound like a radio station's broadcast of a battle of the bands. Instead of parody commercials though, the album alternates original songs with covers of actual advertising jingles.

* [[Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys]] has this throughout the album- "Look Alive, Sunshine" is Dr. Death preaching on his pirate radio station as the intro to Na Na Na, about halfway through the album we get "Jet Star and the Kobra Kid/Traffic Report", and at the very end we have "Goodnight Dr. Death" as the final transmission.

** The GTA saga.

** The Fallout saga since Bethesda takeover.

* 11 tracks into Victor Wooten's Jazz/Funk unaccompanied bass album ''A Show of Hands'', a dry classical radio announcer cuts in to announce that "You have just been listening to a medley of Jazz tunes by Victor Lemonte Wooten. We will now hear his performance of the Classical Thump Prelude in G-Major, written for [[Bilingual Bonus|''Quatro Stringendo Solo Basso Profundo de Electronique'']]...on radio W-00-10," after which he jumps into Classical Thump, an adaptation of a couple of [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]] pieces for [[Ludicrous Speed]] slap bass.
