Who is PULSE?

Pulse 101.7 is where Positive Hits Different.

We’re a listener-supported radio station serving Central Iowa since 1994 with positive pop,    hip-hop, and hope.

We believe what you listen to matters. That’s why every song, every conversation, and every event is designed to encourage, inspire, and point people toward hope.

You’ll hear artists like Forrest Frank, KB, Hulvey, and gio., along with local DJs who genuinely care about the communities they serve.

But Pulse isn’t just something you listen to—it’s a community. Through local events, CityStops, Pulse Education, and connections with listeners across Iowa, we’re working to make a positive difference every day.

Everything we do is rooted in a simple mission: connecting people with hope and encouraging them to live with purpose.

Welcome to Pulse.
