Insert ‘free’ pun here

           Clive Dickens




                           1
Why we bought Virgin Radio
Why we really bought Virgin Radio




£53.2m + 8m?
All commercial radio is undervalued




  CPM vs. CPT
Free is cool
Free is a business model
The original ‘free’ business model?
But commercial radio thinks small
Behave like a big brand
Behave like a startup
Innovate
Digital, not analogue
Follow our community
Give back
Make ourselves
part of the ‘new free’
Thank you
