The BBC is reporting that Sir Terry Wogan has died. He was 77.

Born in Limerick, Ireland, Terry Wogan's career started in the UK in 1966, after a short few years working for Irish broadcaster RTÉ. He became a permanent fixture on the schedule of Radio 2 in 1969, and took over the breakfast show in 1972, where he stayed until a break for television in 1984.

Returning to the Radio 2 breakfast show in 1993, he remained on-air until the end of 2009. Until a few months ago, he broadcast a weekly programme for the network.

Wogan was also an accomplished chat show interviewer, presenter of game shows, and commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest. He was also one of the main hosts for the BBC's charity Children in Need.
