Pulse 87

Pulse 87 is an American television franchise that operated as a radio branding. The brand was formerly owned and operated by Mega Media. As of February 2010, the format was resurrected as an online internet station under new management following the bankruptcy and liquidation of its former owner. The brand returned to radio as the new branding for Dance outlet KYLI/Las Vegas, Nevada on June 24, 2014, and later expanded to Washington, D.C. with FM translator W249BE adopting the format in October 2014.

Background and format

The network consisted entirely of low-power television stations that operated on the former analog channel 6. The audio portion of that TV channel operates at 87.75 MHz, at the very low end of the FM radio spectrum in the United States, and can be picked up on FM radios provided the station broadcasts in analog television. Pulse 87 stations operated a dance radio format.

Mega Media did not own any stations, instead opting to lease time from the stations.

There are currently no "Pulse 87" affiliates. The network only ever succeeded in getting its programming on one station, WNYZ-LP in New York City, which ran the format from February 2008 through October 2009. Mega Media had announced plans to bring the "Pulse 87" brand to three other low-power stations, KSFV-CA in the San Fernando Valley (serving Los Angeles, California), WDCN-LP in Washington, D.C. and WLFM-LP in Chicago, Illinois, all of which would have started carrying Pulse 87 programming on June 1, but those plans were scrubbed after leasing deals with the owners of those stations fell through.

Fictional character biography

Sometime after having escaped being an underground agent for Xavier, Mystique decided to prove to Rogue that Gambit was not right for her. Mystique's plan to rid Rogue of Gambit involved sowing discord in the couple's romance and, once the pair was soon to be no more, introduce Rogue to Augustus. Given the dialogue between Mystique and him, in which Mystique says she "wanted to see for [herself] that [Augustus] is the man she hopes he is," it can be assumed that the associates did not yet know each other well.

Augustus and Mystique were next seen, stealing paintings from a house. Mystique asks what he does with all of the money he gets from selling stolen goods on the black market, he replies that he invests the money into stocks he knows will soon crash, as he gets some kind of sick pleasure out of losing other peoples' money. Mystique replies, "Time you were safely married, Augustus." Augustus is worried about Gambit's reaction, and comically remarks upon the authenticity of how Cajun he really is. Mystique then reveals she is certain that of all the men she checked out to be Rogue's new romance, Augustus is the one who can "make my daughter happy."

Pulse (app)

LinkedIn Pulse was an app for Android,iOS and HTML5 browsers, originally released in 2010. The app, in its original incarnation, was deprecated in 2015 and integrated into LinkedIn.

History

Pulse was originally released in May 2010 for the Apple iPad. The app was created by Ankit Gupta and Akshay Kothari (two Stanford University graduate students) as part of a course at the Institute of Design. The company they formed, Alphonso Labs, was one of the first to use Stanford's business incubator SSE Labs. Pulse received positive reviews for its easy to use interface.

On 8 June 2010, the app was temporarily removed from the App Store hours after it was mentioned by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs at WWDC 2010, because The New York Times complained to Apple about the app pulling content from their feed, even though that feed was in use by other apps in the App Store. The app was approved once again and restored to the App Store later the same day after removing the The New York Times feed.
