The Wireless Group
The Wireless Group (TWG) is a British media company, and controller of several radio stations in the United Kingdom.
The group has its origins in the company Talk Radio, named after the national AM 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 Kelvin MacKenzie, the former editor of The Sun.
