Wogan cashes in as profits rise at media firm

Cash at the media firm owned by Terry Wogan topped €570,000 last year, figures show.

The Limerick native has been entertaining audiences in Britain with his own brand of blarney since the 1960s.

The 74-year-old stepped down from his daily BBC Radio 2 show in 2009 leaving 8m daily listeners disappointed. However, the broadcaster — who holds joint Irish and British citizenship — continues to host a weekly radio show on BBC Radio 2 entitled Weekly Wogan.
