History
YRN was based in Sheffield at Radio Hallam, although all of the live programmes came from Studio 2 at Viking Radio in Hull .
The company came about when Radio Hallam merged with Pennine Radio and later took over Viking Radio in 1987 .
In 1989 all of the three radio stations medium wave frequencies were used to form a new service called Classic Gold. YRN was bought by the Metro Radio group and as Pennine was making a loss they decided to rename it. The Pulse of West Yorkshire was born, the station was later sold off.
For a while YRN used the overnight sustaining service "The Superstation" .
