Nation Broadcasting have applied for the license currently held by Sam FM Bristol, under the name of Jack FM. Sam FM broadcasts to the Bristol area on 106.5 FM, and is owned by Celador, who have also submitted a bid to renew their license.
Sam FM first launched as Original 106.5 FM in 2007, but previously operated as a Jack FM franchise until 2015. Nation Broadcasting will use the Jack FM brand under license from Oxis Media, who operate the Oxford version of the station alongside national stations Union Jack and Jack 3.
Nation Broadcasting are expanding their network, and recently acquired Sunderland station Sun FM.
