For the last couple of days, I have heard ads on Virgin Radio about some big new changes coming up soon on the station. The ads say you should sign up to be a vip (which is a free offer by giving them your email address) and then they would notify you at some point. (Sounds like Obama’s VP pick promise: texts and emails.)

I don’t line in the United Kingdom but I sure do love that station. I’ve been listening for years, I started not too long after I started programming.
I didn’t find very much information on these big changes while searching for it, but I did look at wikipedia’s article on Virgin Radio (UK) and it says there is going to be a name change in August.
The station announced it will be changing its name in August 2008, but the new name has not been announced.
Of course, it makes you wonder: what name could Virgin Radio take up? Star Radio? OC Radio? (just kidding) Honestly though, I wish they weren’t so secretive. It is the twenty-seventh, so there isn’t much more time before they can introduce their big change in August.
