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|RageCandyBars]] 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 [[Basement 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 (and the observation deck{{sup/4|HGSS}}) to defeat the final {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, effectively disbanding the organization. To show his gratitude, the station manager will give the player a [[Rainbow Wing]]{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/4|HG}}, a [[Silver Wing]]{{sup/2|S}}{{sup/4|SS}}, or a [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}.

Before Team Rocket's invasion, a guard will restrict access beyond the second floor to "authorized personnel" only. Thus, the third and subsequent floors of the Radio Tower can only be explored during and after Team Rocket's invasion.
