I keep being told Terry Wogan is a national institution. I keep being told that the whole nation will mourn when he leaves the airwaves. I don't believe everything i'm told.
Lets consider the situation. Wogan has decided to leave the Radio 2 Breakfast Show at the end of 2009. The event of his final programme is three and a half months away. Wogan has plenty of time in which to decide when to make his decision public. He decides to do it on the one day when somebody else from BBC Radio is likely to be making some headlines, namely Chris Moyles celebrating his becoming the longest serving presenter of Radio 1's breakfast show. I've never liked Wogan's tedious drivel, but this calculated action only serves to mark him out as the most self-promoting arse ever to grace the airwaves. He couldn't bear to see somebody else get some column inches without upstaging them.
The BBC must be loving Wogan's timing as well, gobbling up the hope of Radio 1 getting some positive coverage by other media outlets.
