Virgin Radio sold

Virgin Radio's been sold to TIML Golden Square, a media firm owned by the Times of India Group. Sale price was £53 million, and as part of the deal, the station has 90 days to lose "Virgin" from the name.

The new owners apparently have great plans for the station, comparing the upcoming relaunch to the launch of "Dave" on digital TV.

Virgin broadcasts on DAB and AM nationally, as well as on FM in London.

BBC On Demand no longer free on BT Vision

For a number of months, it's been possible to access BBC shows from the last seven days for free on a BT Vision set-top box. Now, the service will no longer be free - instead it will be part of TV Replay, which also includes Channel 4 shows from the last seven days. TV Replay costs £3 a month.

BBC TV shows are free on the BBC iPlayer, which allows shows to be viewed on PC, Mac, Virgin Media, iPhone and the Wii.
