Virgin Radio

Virgin Radio is a brand owned by the Virgin Group used by a number of different radio stations worldwide under licence from Virgin. Despite the name, Virgin Radio stations in each country are usually owned independently of the Virgin Group, and indeed of each other.

The stations generally carry independent programming, but have access to some shared programming, usually linked to other Virgin entities such as the V Festival. Virgin Radio stations are normally classified as rock music or contemporary hit radio stations.

Stations include:

*France: Virgin Radio (France)
*Canada (Toronto, Ontario): Virgin Radio 999
*Italy: Virgin Radio Italia
*Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Virgin Radio Dubai
*India: Virgin Radio India
*Thailand: Virgin Radio Thailand

Former Stations:
*UK: Virgin Radio UK (renamed Absolute Radio on Monday 29th September 2008)
