Legendary broadcaster and BBC Radio 2 breakfast stalwart Sir Terry Wogan has been inducted into the PRS for Music Radio Academy Hall of Fame.
Sir Terry accepted the award and also picked up the PRS for Music John Peel Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music Radio.
Accepting the award from Gary Barlow, Sir Terry Wogan told the assembled radio industry audience: ‘The public may have mistaken longevity for merit! However if you hang around long enough, a proportion of the British public will hold you in affection.’
Andrew Shaw, Managing Director Broadcast, Online & Recorded Media at PRS for Music said: ‘I can’t think of a better broadcaster to enter the Hall of Fame. His work and long career has given pleasure to many and we’re honoured that PRS for Music could be part of this’.
The Hall of Fame is the UK radio industry's tribute to legendary broadcasters. Past inductees include Kenny Everett, The Goons, Tony Blackburn and Alistair Cooke. PRS for Music has sponsored the Radio Academy Hall of Fame for the last two years.
