Wogan announce he is stepping down
Broadcasting Legend Sir Terry Wogan has announced he is steping down as presenter of BBC Radio 2’s breakfast show.
The 71-year-old veteran broadcaster told his listeners he was stepping down shortly after Monday’s 0800 news bulletin, calling it “the hardest thing I have ever done”.
“It touches me deeply that I’ve played a part in your lives for, it seems, like generations,” Sir Terry said.
Chris Evans, Radio 2’s drivetime host, will take over after Sir Terry stands down in December.
Breakfast show listeners have already reacted strongly to the news on internet forums and chat rooms.
However, Sir Terry said that the nation would welcome Chris Evans with the same love they have always shown him.
‘Not goodbye’
He went on to reveal he would host a new live radio show in the New Year, details of which will be announced at a later date.
Sir Terry Wogan said: This is not goodbye,nor au revoir but ‘I’d rather leave while I’m in love’
The veteran broadcaster first hosted the breakfast show in 1972, returning to the role in 1993.
Wake Up to Wogan is the UK’s most popular breakfast radio show with 7.93 million each week.
His last show will be broadcasted on the 18th December.
