GNR Building Plaza (Fallout 3)

Galaxy News Radio (GNR) is the remains from big pre-war company Galaxy News Network.

Run by DJ Three Dog, GNR splits its time between Wasteland News, Survival Advice, and big band music. Three Dog operates the station as part of the "Good Fight," which he explains later is his attempt to tell inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland how "things really are" and the Enclave's true motives for the future. He also states that the only reason he plays the same few older songs over and over is because these are all the records he's been able to locate in playable condition.

GNR's initial signal quality is poor; as near away as Megaton the signal degrades to nearly inaudible and will fade out much further from the station. As a part of the main quest line, the player will rectify this, making the station one of three that can be heard anywhere, the other two being Enclave Radio and Agatha's Station.

As the player advances in the game, they may hear Three Dog tell news stories about their exploits, each based on how the player handled a given situation. These are, by and large, related to major quests -- for example, if the player disarms the nuke as part of The Power of the Atom, Three Dog will mention this event specifically in a news broadcast. Smaller quests will go unnoticed, such as saving the slaves from Evergreen Mills.

As part of the main story, the player is sent to GNR after finding out that James visited Three Dog.

Should Three Dog die (most likely because the player killed him), he will be relieved on-air by Margaret, his technician. She is far less glib than Three Dog and will simply play record after record, occasionally breaking in to say announce that she's taken over for the normal DJ because he's dead and all she has to play are the records; this ends any sort of news reports for the duration of the game.
