107.77 The Mix FM

107.77 The Mix FM AKA The Mix 107.77^[1] is a radio station in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third^[2]^[3] and Saints Row IV.

Overview[]

In each game, The Mix 107.77 changes genre slightly.

In Saints Row 2, it plays iconic 1980s pop and rock hits.
In Saints Row: The Third it has expanded its music variety and now plays '80s and '90s pop, rock and hip-hop. Music from some Generation X bands is included, such as Faith No More's Epic.
In Saints Row IV, fewer than half the songs are from the '80s. It takes on the role of a generic 'flashback' station, playing a wide variety of genres, although mostly hip-hop and rock, from between the years 1976–2000. This type of genre-shift is also noticeable with the so-called "Generation X" station, 89.0 Generation X, which plays music outside of the normal range of "Generation X", and instead plays modern alternative rock.

In Saints Row 2 it plays mostly new wave, classic rock and pop, there are advertisements throughout Stilwater, and The Mix's logo can also be put into clothing.
