History
The start of commercial local radio in Northamptonshire
Hereward Radio was the first Independent Local Radio franchise for the county, providing programmes for Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes and Rugby from the 1 October 1984, using its former FM frequency of 102.8 MHz and 1557 kHz medium wave. The station launched at 01:00, while disc jockey John Warwick hosted its morning show, Hereward Daybreak the following morning.
Local radio frequencies on the FM band in the United Kingdom were expanded and re-organised to form 'sub-bands' (104-105 MHz were reserved for BBC Local Radio, whereas 96.1-97.7 MHz were attributed to Independent Local Radio). This affected Northamptonshire as follows:

Northwinds

Taking it easy, taking it slow
Riding home to lay my body down...
Thought about it long enough
to let it slip away, yeah...
But I feel like a stranger here today
Lost in who across the water
Took me far away from home
It seems it ain't enuff
to get down on your knees and pray, yeah
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
'thou the rain took my spirit away
I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket,
Oh I'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...
It's been a such a long time, on a black and ribbon road
Taking it easy, living from day to day...
Sometimes it ain't so good when you find it so high
riding on the northwind,
you'll never get the feeling to try...
I'll take the sun before the rain anyday, oh Lord
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one way ticket,
Oh, I'm sittin', sittin' on an empty train...
Northwinds make it oh, so easy
Make me live my life too slow...
It seems it ain't enuff
to get down on your knees and pray
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
thou the rain took my spirit away
I'll take the sun before the rain anyday,
Call on the northwinds when any clouds gets in my way
Nothin' ever changes, the song remains the same
Feel I got a one-way ticket,
Oh, I'm sittin', sittin', sittin' on an empty train...
So the tell how long has the train been gone?
