Re-emergence Through Internet Radio
On February 15, 2010 www.pulse87ny.com launched as a commercial-free internet stream using the lead-ins from the former Pulse 87. The website's re-launch branding is "NY's Real Dance Music Leader." The new site is operated by Joel Salkowitz, the former program director of the Pulse 87 format, who purchased the Pulse 87 automation equipment and rights to the Pulse 87 bumpers in the Mega Media bankruptcy auction.
The new website logged 20,000 views within its first 48 hours. In addition, Salkowitz has announced plans to bring back many of the former on-air staff. Most will return as volunteers as the new internet station gets its footing and works towards securing advertisers.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
