Tuesday 11th September 2007
Virgin Media customers who listen to BBC radio through their television will be able to view interactive content from later this month.

Listeners will be able to access this content whilst listening to BBC Radio by pressing red on their digital remote. The content includes: "Now playing" track information, genre-based news, music charts, features, programme listings plus news, sport and weather headlines.

For example, BBC Radio 1 listeners can view the latest entertainment news; BBC Radio 5 Live audiences see live news and sport headlines; and 6 Music fans get "Now playing" track details plus up-to-date 6 Music news and chart info.

For the very first time, BBC regional radio will also have an enhanced presence via digital television. Listeners can access local news, the latest event information in their area and regional programme information at the touch of a button.
