SONY AWARDS: Winner Wogan recalls the award that mattered.
The first Sony Award winner of all was Terry Wogan, who has enjoyed a healthy relationship with the event ever since, not something you can say about all awards...
* How big a moment was your win all those years ago?
It was terrific. It's from your peers, which is always special. I've gone through phases of winning them year after year and then suddenly you don't, which means you look back very fondly on your successes.
* Was it something that became more gratifying in retrospect, given the gravitas the awards have since assumed over their 25 years?
I'm not sure about that. The awards have certainly become bigger, but I'm not necessarily sure if they've got better. They're just bigger, a bit like myself - and I don't mean that I've grown in height. I think radio went through a phase when it was all about television and radio was perceived very much as the poor relation. But it's no longer like that - we've got more listeners than they've got viewers - and so there's a lot more glamour attached to the Sony Awards than there was. I think the Sonys themselves have played a useful part in turning around that perception.
* Did your win help with your career, all those years ago?
Well it doesn't do any harm, but then I got a lot of awards simply because I was there. If you turn up for awards then you'll get them.
