Pop and Spoken Word
A.k.a. Sir Michael Terence "Terry" Wogan KBE DL

Born 3 August 1938 and died 31 January, 2016, he was a veteran Irish radio and television broadcaster and comedian who held Irish and British citizenship. Wogan worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation in the United Kingdom for most of his career. Before he retired from the weekday breakfast programme "Wake Up to Wogan" on BBC Radio 2 on 18 December 2009, Sir Terry had a regular 8 million listeners, making him the most listened to radio broadcaster of any European nation. He began his career at Raidió Teilifís Éireann where he presented shows such as Jackpot in the 1960s. Wogan was a leading media personality in the UK from the late 1960s onward and was often referred to as a national treasure. He is perhaps best remembered in the United Kingdom for his BBC 1 chat show "Wogan", for his work presenting "Children in Need", as the host of "Wake Up to Wogan", and as the BBC's commentator for the "Eurovision Song Contest" from 1980 to 2008. Wogan started a primetime weekend show on Radio 2 from 14 February 2010.
