This is the final 90 minutes of broadcasting from WLR (Waterford Local Radio) on December 30th 1988.
The recording is off 89.9MHz and starts at 4.35pm.
The station, along with all other pirates, was forced to close down thanks to new legislation.
Eight months after ceasing broadcasts as a pirate, WLR returned to air in Waterford with a licence. This is a recording of their launch from midday on September 8th 1989.
