Mitchell turned up, unexpectedly, as a group of former Pennine
Radio/Pulse staff toured the old studios in Pennine House, Forster
Square, Bradford on the day the lease expired. This is therefore
the last interview ever 'broadcast' from that studio.
Photographs below from UTV Media
(GB)'s Pete Langford, one of the team responsible for The Pulse (as
Pennine Radio is now know) moving to its new home close-by on the
day the empty offices and studios were handed back to the
landlord.
