DJ Chris wards off study blues with radio career

CHRIS Ward was busy revising for the Leaving Certificate over the bank holiday weekend — but still found time for his part-time job at his local radio station.

The 18-year-old has been a weekend presenter on KCLR 96fm for the past two years, after beginning his radio career on a Dublin community station.

“We moved down to Carlow when I was 14 and I started helping out on another station in Kilkenny. Then, when KCLR opened in May 2004, I got my own shows. I really love it,” said Chris.
