Virgin Radio Xtreme is a Digital radio station in the United Kingdom.
Xtreme launched at 12.15am on 5 September 2005 by Virgin Radio DJ, Steve Harris. Its music policy is aimed at playing new rock for a youth audience.
Since the departure (to rival station Xfm London) of Steve Harris at the end of 2006, the channel plays non-stop music 24 hours a day. Former shows included The Edge with Steve Harris and The Xtreme Mix with "Silent" Dave Lambert.
Part of the Virgin Radio network of stations, it was wholly owned by SMG plc, until May 30, 2008 when Virgin Radio was purchased by Absolute Radio for £53.2 million.[1]
