RIP Sir Terry, a legendary broadcaster respected by all.

The tribute show on BBC Radio 2 will continue after 11 with Richard Madeley

RIP.
Was never my cup of tea, but I didn't actually dislike the man and found him inoffensive in his slightly rogueish way.

I would have become familiar with Terry Wogan from his television work, but I did hear him very occasionally on BBC Radio 2. I also heard him on Century Radio on Saturday mornings - must have been 1990. I wonder how many remember that gig?!

Terry was a natural and, undoubtedly, one of the greats in broadcasting. I have fond memories of him with his own chat show on BBC1, presenting Blankety Blank and his Eurovision Song Contest coverage. Whenever I did hear him on radio, he was entertaining and easy on the ear and he did it so effortlessly.

He is a sad loss not just for those reasons, but also because he was a lovely person. R.I.P. Terry Wogan

real rocker

Hi Declan,
Remember the Century broadcasts. From what I can recall he commented on the weather on one edition ( it was pre-recorded ) but his observations were totally at variance with the climate in Dublin on the day of broadcast. The BBC Radio 2 show I heard a few times plus his afternoon broadcasts which were simulcast on BBC Radio 1 & 2 in the early years of both networks.
REST IN PEACE Terry

I would have known terry wogan more from his tv work then his radio work but knew of his very successful BBC radio 2 show. 8 million viewers is no mean feat in radio.

RIP terry Wogan.

And if you ever need to remind yourself how good Terry Wogan was, on radio, weaving listeners' letters and his own wit together seamlessly on air, have a listen to Marty Whelan around 9 am on Lyric FM.

His excruciating, unfunny and embarrassing Hugo letters are an attempt to channel the spirit of Wogan. It is, of course, a massive fail.

There was only one Wogan. And Whelan ain't close.

This is a link to his final radio show only on 8th Nov last, though the audio is not available:

A lot of the reports of Terry's death do not mention that he was on BBC Radio 2 for the last 5/6 years, since he finished the breakfast show in 2009

He was one of a kind..may he rest in peace..Chris Evans did a great tribute on Monday morning.
