VETERAN DJ Sir Terry Wogan today confirmed he is to quit his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, with Chris Evans taking over the slot.
Sir Terry Wogan, 71, told listeners of the long-running and much-loved ‘Wake Up to Wogan’ that he would be stepping down at the end of the year.
But Sir Terry said that he was not quitting the airwaves altogether and had an exciting new show lined up.
He said: “This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my broadcasting career, to say goodbye to you in the mornings.”
Wrexham radio station Calon FM general manager Mike Wright paid tribute to Sir Terry's career: "He is just a great broadcaster, he has huge appeal and is loved by millions."
"He has a great wit and a great radio voice, his accent is a big asset."
"Many people were sad when he said he was leaving the Eurovision Song Contest but we all have to retire some day, he will be greatly missed."
Do you listen to Sir Terry in the morning - will you miss him?
