Bugs

 * The track "Stars of the Midnight Range" was intended to be included on this station, but an error linked the entry in the radio track list to the MP3 file for "Big Iron", which causes "Big Iron" to be played twice as often as other tracks, and occasionally play twice in a row.
 * The credits erroneously indicate that the four songs written and performed by J.E. Sawyer especially for the game are intended to be played on the radio stations. There is evidence that they may have been intended to play on the radio, but were cut from the playlists. They can still be heard elsewhere in the game.
