The re-branding follows a decision by Times of India not to continue licensing the Virgin brand, which reverts to its owner Virgin Enterprises. http://www.catalyzt.com/2008/09/03/virgin-radio-rebrands-as-absolute-radioWed, 03 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTThe Indian media company Bennett, Coleman & Co, which owns the Times of India newspaper, has acquired Virgin Radio in the UK for $106 million. SMG, the Scottish broadcasting company which owns Virgin Radio (it bought the company in 2000), sold the national AM licence and FM London licence to TIML Golden Square, a subsidiary of Bennett Coleman, and Absolute Radio, an Irish radio investor and consultancy. This is B&Cs first international acquisition and its first step towards an ambitious vision of creating a new music entertainment brand for the UK. It is also the largest acquisition to date by an Indian media company outside India. http://www.catalyzt.com/2008/06/10/times-of-india-publisher-buys-virgin-radioTue, 10 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
