More than 100 former staff came together in Bradford on Saturday to mark 50 years since the launch of Pennine Radio. Among the guests were four of the original launch team from 1975, Peter Milburn, Dorothy Box, Peter Levy and Lesley Blessington. Although Pennine Radio began broadcasting in 1975 to serve Bradford and West Yorkshire, the station later rebranded as the Pulse before becoming part of Bauer’s Hits Radio network. The anniversary highlighted the enduring impact of Pennine Radio on the city’s broadcasting history and the role it played in the lives of staff and listeners alike. James Cridland has also featured the event in his latest radio newsletter, Radioland, which you can subscribe to here.
