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:
“The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
