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:
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
