Bob FM No More

Communicorp have acquired Bob FM in North Hertfordshire. The station will be rebrand at Heart Hertfordforshire, and will merge with the Watford franchise that Communicorp recently purchased from Adventure Radio along with Connect FM.

Upon rebrand, the station will only have 3 hours locally programmes on weekdays, with none at weekends.

Note: This station now fails the criteria to be included on the Station Guide of this website. Although Communicorp ownership is acceptable being a smaller group, the upcoming rebrand will mean the local license it occupies will be used for a near national service.

Normal practice would be for the station to remain listed until rebrand. As the plans have already been revealed, and Ofcom are almost certain to approve them, I have decided to remove the station immediately.
