8m Togs bade fond farewell to Sir Terry Wogan

SIR Terry Wogan went out at the top, matching his biggest-ever audience as he bowed out of his Radio 2 breakfast show.

The veteran presenter had 8.1 million listeners each week before he quit his long-running morning show Wake Up To Wogan in December.

Figures from industry body Rajar, for the final quarter of 2009, show Sir Terry's audience equalled the record he set in 2008.

It will make his successor Chris Evans's task even more onerous as he tries to maintain the audience.

Sir Terry's audience of Togs – Terry's Old Geezers and Gals – was 140,000 listeners up year on year. He had presented the breakfast slot for a total of 27 years, building up the biggest morning-show audience in Europe.
