BBC television and radio broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan has died

Sir Terry Wogan, renowned for his work as a BBC television and radio presenter, has passed away at age 77.

The Associated Press reported the Irish-born Wogan died Jan. 30 after battling cancer. Wogan was popular in British broadcasting and had his own morning radio show called Wake Up To Wogan and he also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest annually.

His career began in Ireland for the network RTE and once he moved to the U.K., he hosted programs including game shows and he had his own talk show in the ‘80s for television.

In a statement, Britan’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, said, “Britain has lost a huge talent- someone millions came to feel was their own special friend.” On his program, Wogan would talk to his listeners as if he were just focused on one person, according to another BBC broadcaster, Jeremy Vine.

He received knighthood in 2005 from Queen Elizabeth II. Wogan is survived by his wife and three children.
