Michael Ryan is a television broadcaster on Radio Telefís Éireann in Ireland. He presents Nationwide which is broadcast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He was parodied in the 2007 RTÉ comedy series The State of Us. Known to his many fans as 'The Michael Ryan' from his trademark opening lines "Welcome to Nationwide, coming to you from the County Clare etc.", Michael Ryan is regarded as representing the epitome of old fashioned, well mannered, and gentlemanly broadcasting. 'The Michael Ryan' is also famous for his witty 'links' between pieces on Nationwide. A classic example was the comment 'putting their best foot forward' after a piece on Chiropody.
