On 2024-09-08 23:25:39 Martin Phillp changed abstract to Hits Radio is the independent local radio station for Bradford, Kirklees, Calderdale and Leeds.
Beginning life as Pennine Radio 235, it was one of the first UK commercial radio stations to go to air, and, as many stations of its time did, contained specialist programming including a brass band programme (Tops 'n' Noils), asian-language programming and religious output.
Originally just broadcasting to Bradford, it gained an additional franchise area of Kirklees (Huddersfield) and Calderdale (Halifax). As part of the Yorkshire Radio Network, it was then bought by the Metro Radio Group. In research, Pennine Radio was perceived as an old-fashioned Bradford-only station, and its name changed in August 1991 to "The Pulse", with a mostly new set of presenters and innovative marketing. It was a success, with the station eventually becoming the most listened-to station in its area.
The station had to be sold when Emap Radio bought Metro in the mid 1990s due to its overlap with Radio Aire. It's now owned by Bauer Media Group. The station was based in the haunted basement of a former wool mill in the Little Germany area of Bradford. It moved to newer premises in 2015.
Former presenters include BBC Radio 1's Paul Burnett, BBC executive Roger Mosey, and media.info's founder and owner, James Cridland (broadcasting under the name James Andrews).
From August 2020 Pulse 1 extended their coverage to include Leeds on DAB Digital Radio, replacing Radio Aire.
February 2021 saw Pulse 1's remaining local show move from Bradford to Bauer's media centre in Leeds, sharing with Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire and Viking FM, later rebranding as Hits Radio West Yorkshire in 2024.
Programming, news and commercial remain in Bradford.’ for Hits Radio West Yorkshire
