About VIRGO VISIONS MEDIA, INC.
Virgo Visions Media Inc. is an integrated broadcasting, publishing and digital media company.
The company operations also include music publishing, artist management, and an array of digital services.
With Nigerian WebRadio, we merged the power of the Internet with cutting-edge technology and our extensive broadcasting experience to create a radio station that has now become the pride of Nigerians and the toast of Africans all over the world.
But why...?
We've been asked severally "why create a radio station broadcasting to the Nigerian Diaspora?" And the answer is simple! We live in the Diaspora too. And, we know how tough it is to be thousands of miles away from our root, our culture, our music and our overall way of live.
