Who we are

Pulse 89.9 FM Awarded the full licence for the Hawkesbury Community

… is live on 89.9 FM 24/7 and streaming on iHeart radio or Google play and Itunes
Playing the music loved by the local community and showcasing local talent live in our studio. We provide a broad range of programming, interviews, special presentations, genre-based music programs and networked programs.

Community radio is about YOU the community, and to be able to be the best at what we do so very well. Sitting in a studio is not going to get the community in. We have to be there with you, promoting your sporting event, maybe a shop having a sale, charity organizations, schools and many more events. Don’t forget our community notice board, free for you to use, all the post get mentions on radio. Just another way we are working with the community.

Why don’t you have your say in your community radio… Go Pulse 89.9 FM Radio.
