Poll published today: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8834681/Terry-Wogan-Chris-Evans-Danny-Baker-named-UKs-time-40-radio-broadcasters.html. Noel Edmonds, Pete Murray, Mike Read, David Hamilton, Jimmy Young, Johnnie Walker among the greats missing, yet Zoe Ball and Jo Whiney right up there.... Who’d be in your Top 5?

Tony Blackburn for me, 1967 fresh from Radio Caroline

[emmie]

though i thought he was full of himself, Wogan must be way in the lead, he was a consumate radio man

[Bobbisox1]

Yes emmie, the Southern Ireland charmer :0)

[emmie]

i didn't always like him, but he had oodles of charm and wit.

[Bobbisox1]

I like his take on theEurovision Song Contest, he basically took the proverbial most of the time

[Georgiesmum]

We used to enjoy hearing Sarah Kennedy every morning on Radio 2..

Terry Wogan's morning show was excellent with his TOG's and The Janet and John stories providing humour. I really like Ken Bruce too with his dry wit

[Ken4155]

I used to love the wackiness of Kenny Everett - on both radio and tv.
Chris Evans was another fav of mine.
Fluff Freeman appealed at the time to my teenage psyche.
The only thing wrong with Ken Bruce is that his weekday slots finish too early. By about 2 hours!
Steve Wright in the afternoon is really easy listening.

[Bobbisox1]

I enjoy Ken Bruce he was always on in the background if I had a morning appointment at our Doctors surgery

[dannyk13]

Jack Jackson for me.

Can't stand Steve Wright and his very annoying habit of talking over the end of records.

A local DJ for me, Joel Ross, used to be on Heart North West until it was changed beyond recognition and Amanda Holden now hosts on the breakfast programme, but it's nationwide now. I stopped listening. He was a brilliant DJ, professional and very, very witty. I believe he's on Rock FM now. I keep meaning to tune in.

Yep Wogan was the Guvnor.

[woofgang]

It always depends on who votes in these things and what their age is, also when they listen. I mean what about Ray Moore and Alex Lester?

[198kHz]

Anne Nightingale
Alex Lester
Johnnie Walker
Robin Valk
Bob Harris

Lord Haw haw was a great favourite of my father. Said he was the funniest thing ever heard on the wireless and gave him and his shipmates hours of laughter during the Arctic run.

[Hopkirk]

Johnnie Walker
Alex Lester
Paul O'Grady (genuine belly laughs last Sunday)

[ichkeria]

I used to love Shaun Keaveney in the morning and nice to see him sneaking in at No 33.
Terry Wogan was wonderful although I couldn’t stand that MOR music they did on Radio 2 and which he played.
For someone not on there: Michael McNamee on Sportsound Radio Ulster and on Radio 5 cricket commentary when Ireland were playing England: a genial, mellow and rotund version of Alan Green :-)

I used to like Pete and Geoff on Virgin Radio. I like Graham Norton and his cohost Maria on Saturday mornings on R2. Also Alan Carr and Mel Sykes.
