Line 11:
* The soundtrack to [[Reservoir Dogs]] uses voiceovers from comedian Steven Wright to frame the 70's pop songs as part of a fictional 70's revival station, KBILLY Super Sounds of the 70s. This includes station identification, recaps of play lists, and a call-in contest. The same technique is used during the movie itself.
* [[The Who]]'s ''The Who Sell Out'', purporting to be a broadcast from Wonderful Radio London (only [[Jingle|Jingles]] and [[Parody Commercial|Parody Commercials]] in this one, though)
* In a spoken word example, the [[HP Lovecraft|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.
* ''[[Music For Freelance]]'' is an album of remixes and covers of various tracks from the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' soundtrack, interspersed with several tracks/talk spots by a "pirate radio DJ" from "Radio Free Mars.
Line 17:
* The Cog Is Dead styled their first album, "Steam-Powered Stories" like an old-time radio show, complete with fake commercials and new breaks.
* 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: theThe 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.
* In-game radios in videogames. Some even reflect in the player actions, often resulting in [[News Travels Fast]]:
** The GTA saga.
