The official Virgin Radio launch video and pictures

Get the look

The Virgin Radio team and indepdendent production company TBI Media were mindful that the station launch had to look as good as it sounded.

A film crew, separate lighting team and a professional Press Association photographer captured the action on board and I think you’ll see a couple of lucky drone shots in the video package too.
