Rick Whelan

Rick Whelan

Rick Whelan is an Irish broadcaster, film director and multimedia producer from Waterford. He helped found WLR FM with pilot pirate broadcasts in 1978, alongside his brother Des Whelan. WLR FM eventually became a licensed station in 1989.

In recent years, Rick's on-air role has reduced somewhat, with him making sporadic broadcasts from time to time. His only regular broadcast now takes place on Saturday, which is titled "Here's Ricky". He continues to work behind-the-scenes.

He is noted for directing and producing the original adaptation of Loftus Hall, entitled "The Legend of Loftus Hall".
