RVR FM - Pirate Owned by Wes D'Arcy from 1988 - 1990

Declan A Walsh

I happened to come across this nugget of information when I was looking up some information on Wes D'Arcy, a former radio presenter with East Coast FM, FM104, 98FM and 2FM, and production engineer. He is now the owner of 2gether Studios.

Does anybody know anything about this station: was it Wicklow-based (Roundwood?), what kind of music and programming did it have, were there others involved, etc.? It's interesting to find a station that actually started in 1988 and crossed over the pirates closedown deadline of December 31st 1988.

I dont think Wes would have been involved in 1988, considering he is just over 40 years of age now.

He states it on his Linkedin page!

Other than Wes's own reference to it on Linkedin, I cannot find anything about RVR FM. I think we need local knowledge here!

Perish the thought but would you not DM him on LinkedIn or his website and ask him about it?

I would warn against messaging ex radio presenters, I once messaged an ex presenter and I got the following reply

"Why on earth are you so obsessed with the employment details of people who worked there???? Why are you so obsessed with the people???? It’s a long gone radio station. Who are you??? for all I know your profile is fake. Your questions are very inappropriate, personal, and outrageous. Find another hobby!
