Radio Hollywood is an alternative rock radio station located in Hollywood. It is hosted by Kenny Hill, a dimwitted hipster who claims to know everything. The radio station is a known competitor with fellow alternative rock station Planet Alternative 90.5, which broadcasts 1990's alternative and grunge in comparison to Radio Hollywood's hipster-style alternative. Radio Hollywood also has competition with Underground FM, despite it not being a legitimate radio station.

Development[]
The idea of a hipster rock station was heavily inspired by a radio station in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV . The in-game radio station Radio Broker served as a main source of inspiration. The hipster culture is also pretty big in the Greater Los Angeles area, and so OliCoon decided to add the station. ACR 103.5 was cut as a result of Radio Hollywood's addition.
