Pennine FM bought
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 11 September 2009
Huddersfield radio station Pennine FM has been bought by the Urban Media Group. As previously reported, the future of the station was in much doubt after its owners – who acquired it in a management buy out last year – went into administration back in April. The new owners have put Jonathan Gold, formerly of Juice FM, into the job of Programme Director.
The new owners are part of a media company called the Chris James Group. James himself told Radio Today: “Having Pennine FM will be a great advantage to the Chris James Group. Jonathan brings a wealth of experience to Pennine. He lives in Huddersfield and will bring in a team of presenters to make Pennine what Huddersfield needs”.
