Information About

Classic Gold 1332





History


The station was launched on the 10th July 1980, as Hereward Radio , broadcasting on 102.7 FM and 1332 AM . On the 14 April 1992 the station split its AM and FM frequencies, with 102.7 Hereward FM broadcasting on 102.7 FM and The Worlds Greatest Music Station or WGMS launching on 1332 AM. WGMS was short-lived, as around 1994, it was bought by the GWR group and re-branded as Classic Gold 1332. Due to going over the limits of the amount of stations a group can own, the GWR Group had to sell all of their "Classic Gold" stations. They were purchased by the UBC Media Group , although GWR did keep a 20% stake in the brand of stations.


Present day


Today Classic Gold 1332 plays the best songs from the 1960s to today, with a larger focus on the 1960s to the 1980s.

According to the RAJAR results for the period ending December 2006 the station had 36,000 listeners and a 2.9% market share in its area.
