The Krunch 106.66
Heavy metal and metalcore station hosted by Corndog. The Saints Row 2 incarnation shifts the format toward a more modern mid-2000s metalcore sound.
Overview
The Krunch 106.66 is Saints Row 2's metal station. The frequency is a deliberate half-step below 106.67, putting the dial number on three sixes for thematic effect. In Saints Row 2 the format shifts toward a more modern, metalcore-influenced sound compared to its first-game incarnation. Most Brotherhood vehicles spawn with the radio set to The Krunch.
DJ Corndog
Corndog hosts the station. The character plays a stereotypical metal radio DJ: high energy intros, in-the-know references and a delivery that fits the format. Segments are short and stay in-character, with no listener phone-ins.
Tracklist
There are 14 licensed songs on the bank, sitting in the 2003 to 2008 window with a smattering of older tracks. Highlights include 3 Inches of Blood's Deadly Sinners, Mastodon's Colony of Birchmen, Opeth's ten-minute Ghost of Perdition, Avenged Sevenfold's Bat Country, and Lamb of God's Redneck. Helmet's Unsung (1992) and Hum's Stars (1995) are the two older holdovers.

Trivia
- The frequency 106.66 is a half-step below 106.67 specifically so the dial number reads as three sixes.
- Most Brotherhood vehicles spawn with the radio set to The Krunch.
- The station returns in Saints Row: The Third under the name The Blood, although Volition's data files mix BLOOD and KRUNCH cue prefixes interchangeably.
