Frequently asked questions about Virgin Radio UK live
It means Virgin Radio UK broadcasts digitally rather than on the analogue dial. In practice that gives cleaner audio and no interference, at the cost of needing either a DAB set or, as on this page, an internet connection.
The format covers a lot of ground — guitar music from the sixties through to current releases, taking in the indie and alternative waves that British radio has always given room to. Virgin Radio UK moves across that range rather than sticking to one decade.
It works from any country. Some British broadcasters do replace certain music or sport on their international feeds because rights are sold by territory, but the station itself is not geo-blocked.
DAB. If a set will not hold the signal cleanly — common indoors and in built-up areas — the stream above sidesteps the problem entirely.
