Jack FM Hertfordshire was a radio station broadcasting to Knebworth, Hertford, Ware, Hatfield, Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Welwyn Garden City, Watton-at-Stone and in the United Kingdom broadcasting on 106.7 and 106.9 MHz and streaming at www.106jack.com.
Initially Hertbeat FM, on 10 May 2010 it rebranded as one of a handful of Jack FM licensees then operating in the UK.[2] Jack FM Hertfordshire operated independently to other Jack stations, with all programming originating from their Knebworth Park studios.
In 2013, as the station prepared to broadcast using DAB in addition to FM another rebranding was initiated, triggered by a lack of exclusivity of the Jack FM moniker on the DAB multiplex and potential for confusion with the growing number of stations operating as a Jack FM licensee.
At 0808 on 10 March 2014, following several weeks of on-air activity encouraging listeners to suggest new names for the station Jack FM Hertfordshire relaunched as BOB fm: a name Shadow Radio Holdings had applied to trade mark the previous November [3].
The final song played by Jack FM Hertfordshire was "Thing's Can Only Get Better" by D:Ream.
