Hereward Radio, Hereward FM
This station is older than some believe, coming on air 10th July 1980 as Hereward Radio on 102.7 FM & 1332AM.
It made a notable impact upon launch and was one of the quiet stations, getting on with the business until a requirement from the authorities to provide differing services on FM & AM created one of the greatest but shortest lived GOLD stations - WGMS.
In the early nineties, GWR were buying radio stations as if the management's lives depended on it - and so Hereward became another 'better music mix' station around 1994 and now fits the mould of current GWR strapline, the similar 'today's best mix'.
WGMS (The World's Greatest Music Station) launched 14th April 1992 as the AM sister station to Hereward FM which had previously simulcast on AM. Arguably one of the greatest GOLD stations that never was, it's time on-air was short lived and restricted to approximately two years when both local ILR stations were acquired by GWR in the early to mid 90s. It was subsequently re-branded into the Classic Gold network as Classic Gold 1332.
The station is part of the GCap Media plc group of companies.
