Pulse Launch


Local Radio Station Set for a Hair Raising Halloween Launch
Pulse 98.4 is set to launch to the public on Halloween at The Avenue Shopping Centre in Newton Mearns and shoppers are in for a ‘trick or treat’ during the course of the festivities, with a jam packed event for all the family.



The station will be broadcasting live from the centre and as well as live music and chat, there will be fancy dress competitions at 11am and 1.30pm. Shoppers are encouraged to come along in costume to be in with a chance of winning Avenue shopping vouchers.

Pulse Chairperson Raymond Weir says “We are all geared up for a great day meeting the public and finding out exactly what they want from their radio station. We are grateful to The Avenue for inviting us to the centre which is undoubtedly the hub of the community”.


As well as competitions and party games there will be live performances from Kirsty McLaren from Barrhead who won The Avenue’s recent Search for a Star competition in conjunction with Mearns Community Week. Runner up Demi Bennett from Newton Mearns will also perform. Each girl is set to perform a four song set and both have already received rave reviews from the music experts at Pulse.


Don’t be alarmed if you’re approached by Frankenstein, James Bond or Chewbacca asking to carry your shopping! The Pulse presenters donned in Halloween guise will be on hand to lighten your load and tune your car stereo to 98.4FM.

The aim of the station is to deliver a varied and interesting programming schedule as well as details of local news and events throughout the week. Pulse 98.4 is a community radio station open to suggestions and in carving a niche for themselves, they are able to tailor the station to public demand. Also launching is the monthly “My Top Tunes” and throughout launch day the team will be asking shoppers for their top 3 tunes of all time. The drivetime show, 3pm – 6pm on the last Friday of every month, will be dedicated to what YOU want to hear.

Acting Centre Manager Karl Holmes says “We are excited to be involved in the launch of Pulse and to give our shoppers a say in what they want to hear on radio. We are sure the station will take off in a big way.”
