History
The Pulse had been previously known as 3YYR, broadcasting on 100.3 MHz FM before becoming known as Geelong Community Radio on the same frequency. In 2001, frequency 100.3Mhz was issued to then new commercial station Nova 100 in Melbourne and the station was moved to its current frequency of 94.7 MHz FM and changed names to 94.7 The Pulse. Its studios which are based in 68-70 Lt Ryrie St, Geelong at the "Geelong Broadcast and Education Centre" is also a training facility for other forms of media.
The Geelong Media Co-operative - the then operators of 3YYR had operated the radio station under the brand "Pulse" for some period of time, however there was a growing influence over the radio station by the Geelong Ethnic Communities Council, now known as Diversitat. The full time licence then held by the GCRC was surrendered to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, who subsequently provided the opportunity for the licence to be operated by Diversitat on a temporary basis. The frequency is not guaranteed for a future community radio service, and as such has become available in the longer term for a potential variety of alternate services.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!
There are only two great currents in the history of mankind: the baseness which makes conservatives and the envy which makes revolutionaries.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
