History
The Radio station initially started out in Dunelm house, however was moved sometime in the mid 1990s to Hild Bede when the space in Dunelm House was given to the newspaper Palatinate instead. In 1999 it moved again to Van Mildert. --jek (talk) 18:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Purple FM started after I put a small advert in the Palatinate (when I was editor) looking for people who wanted to create a student radio station. The then DUS president had £10k that he could allocate to funding it. Jonny Saunders and Andy Valentine were the only two who answered the ad and I took them to meet Jon. They then took the ball and ran with it, doing all the work to get it set up and launching it. I took part by finding a sponsor and producing a small show "Scruffy's sporting hour" which was great fun but I really didn't do anything else. Well done to Andy and Jonny who should take full credit for setting it up. Great to hear it is still going in some shape or form! Tobyberesford (talk) 15:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
