  • Paul O'Grady on the Wireless (billed as Paul O'Grady and referred to on-air as TeamPOG or TeamPOGradio) is the incarnation of the Sunday teatime slot on BBC Radio 2 that aired from 5 April 2009 to 14 August 2022, hosted by Paul O'Grady. The show is produced by Malcolm Prince, who also makes regular contributions to the programme, and it regularly attracted over two million listeners. It was broadcast on Sundays between 5pm and 7pm. The show will return for its 2022 Christmas Day special on Boom Radio. From its inception until 13 February 2022, the show was broadcast every Sunday. On 2 February 2022, it was announced that BBC management had decided to reduce the number of shows per year from 40 to 26 and that O'Grady would take a break for three months, with the replacement programme hosted by Rob Beckett. O’Grady returned on 22 May 2022 for a new series of thirteen shows which ran until mid-August. He continued to broadcast from his home. However, on 9 August 2022, it was announced that O'Grady would be leaving the network after 14 years and that the final show of the current series, the 546th edition, would be the last to air on Radio 2, on Sunday 14 August. His producer Prince also left the BBC. On 21 November 2022, Prince announced that he and O'Grady would return to host the annual Christmas Day special on Boom Radio, with O'Grady broadcasting from home. The show marked O'Grady's permanent role as a Radio 2 presenter, following numerous stints standing in on other shows including Elaine Paige on Sunday. The programme celebrated its 200th show on 24 February 2013, its 300th show on 17 May 2015, its 400th show on 11 February 2018, and its 500th show on 28 March 2021. It celebrated its 10th birthday on 7 April 2019. The programme was off-air from March to June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It then aired a series of compilation shows, before returning for new pre-recorded shows on 9 August 2020, with O'Grady presenting from his home, rather than in the studio. On 11 April 2021 his show was cancelled for the first time due to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's death. The series was never actually billed as Paul O'Grady on the Wireless - in The Radio Times, it was simply listed as Paul O'Grady. (en)
