Pulse Gold is a United Kingdom radio station owned by UTV. It is the AM sister station of The Pulse of West Yorkshire.

[edit] Background

Programming is bought in from GCap Media - with more local opt-outs than the majority of Gold stations take. For example, Pulse Gold broadcasts localised weekend shows and Bradford City commentary.

The station was previously known as "Pennine Radio", "Classic Gold", "Great Yorkshire Gold", "Great Yorkshire Radio", "West Yorkshire's Big AM", "Pennine's Big AM", and "West Yorkshire's Classic Gold", and under previous ownership was part of the Yorkshire Radio Network.

It is now branded with the word "Pulse" to reflect its relationship to its FM sister station.
