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:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
