The Radio Tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}}. For a short time in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], the tower fell victim to the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time all of the normal broadcasts were replaced with a pirate signal officially announcing Team Rocket's return and pleading [[Giovanni]] to return from seclusion.

After the player obtains their seventh Johto Gym Badge, it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline, because until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal, either the [[Blackthorn Gym]] will be closed because [[Clair]] is training in the restricted [[Dragon's Den]]{{sup/2|GSC}}, or a man selling [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBar]]s will prevent access to {{rt|44|Johto}}, the eastern path out of [[Mahogany Town]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}. After defeating the impostor station manager in the fifth floor office, the player will receive the {{key|II|Basement Key|Basement}} {{key|IV|Basement Key|Key}}, which opens up a sealed area of the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. Upon finding the real station manager in the second basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], he will give the player a [[Card Key]] to open the door on the third floor that separates the upper floors of the tower in two. With the Card Key in tow, the player can ascend to the fifth floor studio to defeat the final {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executive}}s, effectively disbanding the organization. To show his gratitude, the station manager will give the player a [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Rainbow Wing}}{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/4|HG}}, a [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Silver Wing]]{{sup/2|S}}{{sup/4|SS}}, or a [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}.

The Goldenrod Radio Tower appeared in ''[[EP160|Air Time]]'', where {{Ash}} was invited to the tower to be interviewed by [[DJ Mary]]. Disguised {{TRT}} also infiltrated the Radio Tower, intending to steal anything valuable inside. However, all they discovered were tapes of various radio shows. They were then mistaken for a comedy group called "The [[Dugtrio Trio]]," and were dragged to be interviewed by DJ Mary. Due to Team Rocket having accidentally destroyed the tape of the day's Radio Drama, Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Team Rocket were asked to act the show live. During the show, [[Jessie]] constantly made her own changes to the script, eventually leading to Team Rocket revealing themselves and attempting to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Thankfully, Ash managed to recover Pikachu, Team Rocket was defeated, and the show was brought to a successful end.

The Goldenrod Radio Tower appeared in a flashback in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]'', when [[Looker]] described [[Team Rocket]]'s takeover of the building to {{ga|Silver}}. He also mentioned how the entire takeover had fallen flat due to [[Giovanni]] not showing up despite Team Rocket's broadcast.
