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:
“The radio ... goes on early in the morning and is listened to at all hours of the day, until nine, ten and often eleven o’clock in the evening. This is certainly a sign that the grown-ups have infinite patience, but it also means that the power of absorption of their brains is pretty limited, with exceptions, of course—I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. One or two news bulletins would be ample per day! But the old geese, well—I’ve said my piece!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
