Virgin Radio

Virgin Radio launched in the United Kingdom in 1993. In 2008 Virgin Radio UK was sold to TIML, a subsidiary of the Times of India group, and the name was changed to Absolute Radio; the Virgin Radio name was not included in the sale. In 2001, the Virgin Group teamed up with an Asia-focused investment fund to launch Virgin Radio Asia. Radio stations were launched in China, India and Thailand between 2002 and 2006. Virgin Radio Asia acquired a global remit in 2006, transforming into Virgin Radio Internationa
