About Heart Peterborough
102. 7 Heart Peterborough (formerly Hereward FM) was an Independent Local Radio station for Peterborough, Boston, King's Lynn, Cambridgeshire, south Lincolnshire and west Norfolk. Launched on 10 July 1980 as Hereward Radio 225, the station was the first local service in the area, with the studios originally based in the back of a former pub in Bridge Street, Peterborough, before relocating to the Queensgate shopping centre in the city in 1987. HistoryWith the tagline of the station you can really call your own, Hereward Radio began on 95. 7 MHz and 225 metres /1332 kHz. Reorganisation of the FM broadcast band moved the station to 102. 7 since around 1987 /1988, with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire using the former frequency for the Peterborough area. Notable personalities from the past include the former chief executive of GCap Media, Ralph Bernard, who was the station's first news editor. Hereward split its AM and FM frequencies in April 1992, and called its 1332 kHz AM service 'WGMS - The World's Greatest Music Station'. The station was brought out by the GWR Group in 1995 from its original management, Mid-Anglia Radio plc.
