Terry Wogan is a radio and television broadcaster who has mainly worked for the BBC in the United Kingdom for most of his career. He has been a leading media personality in the UK since the late 1960s, and is often referred to as a national treasure. Because his radio listeners are of a certain frame of mind, he jokingly refers to them as "TOGs" (Terry's Old Geezers or Terry's Old Gals), and at BBC Radio 2 he has become known as "The Togmeister". <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Terry+Wogan"
