The Wireless Group

The Wireless Group (TWG) is a British media company, and controller of several radio stations in the United Kingdom. It is a subsidary of Ulster Television.

The group has its origins in the company Talk Radio, named after the national Amplitude_Modulation station around which it was formed, and became the fifth largest UK radio group when it purchased The Radio Partnership in 1999, gaining control of its nine local commercial stations. Later that year the company was acquired by the company TalkCo, a consortium whose members included MVI, News International, Radio Investments and LMC Radio, and soon after was renamed The Wireless Group. In 2000 the station Talk Radio was relaunched as talkSPORT.

The chairman and chief executive of TWG is currently Scott Taunton. Prior to the UTV takeover, Kelvin MacKenzie, the former editor of The Sun was chief executive.

In May 2005, it was announced that the Northern Ireland media company, UTV, had made an agreed offer to buy the company, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. In June 2005 the takeover proceeded, with McKenzie being replaced by UTV executive Taunton. On 12 September 2005 it was announced that the company is to be rebranded as UTV Radio GB, matching UTV s Republic of Ireland division UTV Radio Ireland. Also the acquisition of Juice FM in Liverpool was announced on the same date.
