From humble beginnings...

In 1976, public broadcasting began in Australia. The idea for a public radio station in the Geelong region was initiated in November 1984 at a public meeting. Interested Geelong citizens formed a committee to gain support from the community, to muster technical and administrative expertise, to lobby Federal Government support and to fulfill the requirements of a license application.

After several test broadcasts and further lobbying, the committee received an application for a license hearing in early 1988. The station adopted the call sign of 3YYR-FM and commenced full time broadcasting on May 1, 1988.

The station went through a number of name changes before settling as 94.7 The Pulse in 2001. In 2005 Diversitat (formerly known as the Geelong Ethnic Communities Council Inc) assumed responsibility for the management of the station and embarked upon a new era of redevelopment. With a renewed focus on community involvement and the promotion of diversity, the station is entering an new phase in its' development and we invite everyone to join us on the exciting journey.
