Key Features
News
The Virginmedia.com news channel is powered by a unique relationship with the Press Association. The news is updated throughout the day, 24/7 with all the latest from the UK and around the world. As well as all the latest from the worlds of sport and entertainment, users can also take advantage of the latest technology, health and environment news stories.
The channel also boasts a large package of daily news videos, from the weird and wacky to the more serious side of the news. Add to that a daily newspaper round-up, the day’s news in pictures and the ability to debate all of the day’s news and you’ve got a one-stop complete news package.
Sport
Exclusive UK online Football highlights, insightful and witty commentary across all sports, as well as engaging discussion forums are just some of the reasons that the Virginmmedia.com sport channel draws 3.75m users back each month.
