History
Pulse started as a narrowcast radio station in 2016 as Pulse FM Kingborough and Huon, before rebranding to Pulse FM Tasmania in August 2018 and Pulse FM Hobart in March 2019.[2]
At the start of September 2020, Pulse FM announced it would be pivoting to position itself primarily as a content publisher rather than a radio station, with the radio station moving in-line with the digital content platforms.[3]
Between October 11, 2021 and February 2022, Pulse FM rebranded as Pulse Hobart - positioning itself completely as a digital publisher. The radio station remains under the Pulse FM branding.[4]
In the 12 months of 2021, Pulse Hobart accumulated more than 2.4 million social media interactions.[5]
