Virgin Radio Amman ... Coming Soon! even in the Mall!

Update: Virgin Radio Jordan is on 93.7 FM

I 1st heard the news of Virgin Radio coming to Jordan exactly 1 year from now in February 2008, from a source that used to work with the Virgin Empire. and heard all sorts of ups and down, this and that, chit and chat about it. a couple of things were only confirmed to me, that its coming, and it has nothing to do with ARN the operators of Virgin radio in Dubai.

Finally, Last week we started seeing an existence for Virgin Radio in Jordan , more specifically in City Mall!



This is near the northern entrance of the mall, one empty shop has this on its facade, as if its being prepared to open "Soon, a bright star will rock Jordan" Virgin Radio.

Virgin Radio seem to be coming to jordan with a concept i just discussed in my last week's segment, that is Radio Shops, as it would be made obvious by this shop.

Now i heard that Virgin Radio will be "Yet another CHR station" in Jordan. I still hope not, as the current 4 are more than enough. its like if they are all out of styles! but regardless of that, they are coming closer and closer to the public, and this shop will be a proof!

Note that according to the information i gathered until now, this shop has nothing to do with the Virgin Megastore meters away, as that one owned by Azadea Group.

Virgin Megastore opens in City Mall - Amman

Yes, finally, it opened last thursday night...

It aint that big, but its big enough .....
Content: Laptops, gadgets, Books, DVDs, and alot of music CDs :)

Prices: not that competitive as i mentioned, the CDs are around 14 - 15 JD, iBOOK is 1071 JD, ipod shuffle is 82 (while its 77 in carrefour just meters away).

The DVDs are from prime, the have Prime's label and as far as it is known around town that prime brings DVDs from Virgin! So i didn't really get it.

but the store is nice ...... and again the Music CDs collection is awesome, the books section was not full yet, but seemed pretty good as well, and might be a competitor to Prime when it comes to the books content on display.

Just my 2 pennies
