Orion not interested in being Smooth, thank you very much
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 27 July 2010
Local radio firm Orion Media has denied those previously reported claims in the Sunday Telegraph that they had approached the Guardian Media Group about buying its radio division, which owns the Smooth, Real and Rock Radio networks.
Orion boss Phil Riley told Media Week yesterday: “It’s completely utterly wrong and absolutely not true. I speak to every person in radio every week, but I have not tabled an offer to GMG. That is categorically not true”. So, that’s that cleared up. The Telegraph also said UTV Radio was interested in GMG’s radio assets. They haven’t commented on the reports.
