History
With the tagline of the station you can really call your own, Hereward Radio began on 95.7 MHz and 225 metres/1332kHz. 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.
On 5 January 2009, Hereward FM was rebranded Heart Peterborough, as part of a major rebrand involving twenty nine stations owned by Global Radio.
On 21 June 2010, Global Radio announced that Heart Peterborough would be merged with Heart Cambridge as part of plans to reduce the Heart network of stations from 33 to 16. The new station, Heart Cambridgeshire began broadcasting from Peterborough on 2 July 2010. On 19 September 2011, the station announced it would relocate to new studios in the Histon area of Cambridge.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“[Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.”
—Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
