''Weekend Wogan'' is a Sunday morning radio programme on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom, presented by Sir Terry Wogan. The show, which began its run on 14 February 2010 marked Sir Terry's return to the airwaves following his decision to step down as presenter of the weekday breakfast show, ''Wake Up to Wogan'' in December 2009. The programme features guests and live music from BBC Radio 2 studios at Western House in London. It currently broadcasts for approximately 40 Sundays a year, with the remaining 12 being taken by an interim show, which since May 2012 has been ''Made on Sunday'' presented by Richard Madeley. Previously the interim show was ''Michael Ball's Sunday Brunch''. ==History== Wogan confirmed to his listeners on 7 September 2009 that he would be leaving the breakfast show at the end of the year with Chris Evans taking over. He presented his final edition of ''Wake Up to Wogan'' on 18 December 2009, although by then it had been announced that Wogan would return to Radio 2 from 14 February 2010 to host a live weekly two hour Sunday show, featuring live musical performance and guests, between 11.00am and 1.00pm. The three 2010 series took place in front of a live audience in the Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House and had an original run of three months. Some 30,000 people applied for 300 tickets to be in the audience,〔 and tickets for the first block of 12 shows had sold out within 24 hours.〔 Wogan's first guests on his new show were the actor Sir Ian McKellen and jazz singers Norah Jones and Jamie Cullum. The programme also featured a house band. In 2011 the televised version was decommissioned and ''Weekend Wogan'' was hosted from BBC Radio 2's studios in Western House. On 3 July 2012 the BBC Trust ruled that Sir Terry had breached the broadcasting guidelines following an edition in January of that year in which he made comments that appeared to make light of the Costa Concordia disaster, which had occurred nine days earlier. After playing ''Rock the Boat'' by The Hues Corporation he questioned whether it was an appropriate choice of song and joked about the Costa Concordia's captain. The ship run aground and partially sank off the Italian Coast with the loss of lives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weekend Wogan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
