History
Formed in 2005, Penistone FM attended the Penistone Mayor's Parade in June 2005 to conduct research into the viability of a station in this small market town, and again in 2006. In September 2006 the station broadcast on 87.7 FM using an Ofcom Restricted Service License as a trial community broadcast.
On the back of a successful trial broadcast, Penistone FM applied to Ofcom in the second Community Radio Licensing round in June 2007 and were awarded a full-time community radio license in December 2007. Initially the station was awarded a medium wave frequency, but one year later an FM frequency came available and was duly cleared by Ofcom in January 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
