Discover Hertford Online are pleased to announce their support for The Radio Hertford Consortium and their station HertBeat in their bid for the local radio licence for Hertford and the surrounding areas.

Discover Hertford Online is a local website run by local people with local backing. We have extensive knowledge of the town and surrounding areas and it is this which makes us what we are.

It is therefore only natural that we should support The Radio Hertford Consortium because of our shared philosophy, knowledge and dedication to the town. Not only are they experienced and professional, but they also have the backing of local councillors and MPs and are financially viable. They were also instrumental in The Radio Authorities' decision to base a local radio station in the town.

However, we will be objectively covering other bids for the licence as we beleive that it is part of our role to keep the townspeople informed on local issues and developments.
