SRIV version here. | SRTTR version here. SRTT requires some patching to display the radio logos, so this is a different post.
This mod removes all commercials and/or DJ segments for the radio stations ingame. Now you don't ever have to hear NyteBlade on the radio again! Newscasts are not touched, so you can still enjoy the results of your work after a mission.
Just choose which edition you want and have fun listening to the radio again.
Special thanks to Unapolegetic Miscreant for creating a tangentially related guide that made me go "huh, I've always hated DJs and commercials. Maybe it's not so hard to remove them?"

- It's possible to mix and match the two versions if you like the DJ of a certain station but not on another one. Just choose the relevant radio station's .xtbl file accordingly.
- Quick link to wiki in case it helps you make a decision https://saintsrow.wiki/wiki/Category:Radio_Stations_in_Saints_Row:_The_Third
- The Adult Swim radio has exclusive commercials and no newscasts attributed to its .xtbl. I'm assuming it's the parts where he rants about "Jon" stuff and not directly connected to song intros, but I can't be bothered to verify this.
- You will have to recreate your mixtape playlist again after installing this.
- Testing was only brief, so I may have missed something and there may be other issues. Please tell if so.
Extract from misc_tables
Open up each respective radio station in Notepad++ because xtbls are pain in notepad.exe
To delete commercials, I deleted everything that started with COMMERCIAL in <Commercials_List>. Newscasts and mission-specific interruptions were left untouched.
Also, Station_Playlist was removed to only include one Song so it effectively always plays songs. No sweeps here!
To prevent DJs and call-ins (which are part of intros in SR3) I simply changed the chance of intros and outros playing to 0. (Fun fact, Adult Swim has 50% chance while other stations have 40% chance)
Save to game folder
Write this post, but add some differences between the SRTTR so I waste bored people's time
Profit? Hmm... not sure
