Pennine FM was an Independent Local Radio station based at Lockwood Park in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. The station closed on 5 April 2010 and returned its licence to the industry regulator Ofcom.〔(Closure for troubled radio station Pennine FM )〕 ==Background== The station was originally launched as ''Huddersfield FM'' by the Minster Sound Radio Group plc in October 1999.〔 The station was bought by Radio Investments Limited and GWR in November 1999, then completely by Radio Investments (now The Local Radio Company) in December 2000 and renamed ''Home 107.9''. It broadcast from studios at The Old Stableblock, Lockwood Park, Huddersfield. Though popular music was the staple, community output was prominent on the station with content reflecting the diversity of the local communities. In February 2008, ''Home 107.9'' was rebranded as ''The New Pennine FM'', and by June 2008 it had left The Local Radio Company profile and was taken over independently. However, they still took some of TLRC's networked shows such as ''The Lunchtime Gameshow'' broadcast from Minster FM in York on Sundays at 12 noon, hosted by John Harding and Russ Leighton. On 16 April 2009, ''The New Pennine FM'' was put into administration and taken off the air. It is understood that the owners were heavily in debt to Huddersfield Rugby Union Football Club which leased their premises to the station.〔(examiner.co.uk )〕 In the weeks following the station closure, the 107.9 frequency continued to play the Pennine FM back up disc from their transmitter. Ofcom noted this breach in their Bulletin Issue.〔http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/obb/prog_cb/obb138/〕 On 7 May 2009, the station was bought by Pennine Media Ltd. The new owners appointed Jonathan Gold as Programme Director and Dave Stankler as Commercial Director.〔(RadioToday on 2009 station sale )〕 The Station was then branded as ''Huddersfield's More Music Station'' and aimed at 25- to 45-year-old women, playing ''Classic Hits to The Best of Today''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pennine FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
