Hereward FM, the original station in the city, still holds a large section of the market. Bought from its original management, it became part of the GWR network which is now within the super-conglomerate GCap Media. Hereward FM broadcasts "today's best music" including pop and rock from the 80s, 90s and 00s. Hereward FM broadcasts on 102.7 FM, and is based in the Queensgate Shopping Centre.
