Gerry Anderson, one of Northern Ireland's best-known presenters, has died aged 69 following a long illness. "He always brought a smile to my face and I had the ability to do the same to him," he said. Mickey Bradley, a member of the Undertones who worked with the late broadcaster in BBC Radio Foyle said Gerry Anderson "broke the mould". Gerry Anderson started working as a radio presenter in 1984 and went on to become a household name in Northern Ireland.

In a career spanning 30 years, he hosted radio and TV programmes for BBC Northern Ireland, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Foyle and BBC Radio 4. "I got to know Gerry very early in my career," he said. The audience reaction to Anderson Country was polarised with listeners divided over its shift in tone from the rest of Radio 4.

BBC Director General Tony Hall said he was a "distinctive and iconic voice". He was named as the Best Regional Presenter at the Royal Television Society journalism awards in 2004. His show was picked by BBC Radio Ulster, and he formed a successful on-air partnership with fellow broadcaster, Séan Coyle. Mr Coyle said it had been "an absolute pleasure to work with Gerry".

"He had a public persona certainly, and that was performance," Mr Mahon said. "He will always be an inspiration to us all," she said. It just hasn't sunk in yet.". Anderson also made a number of TV series and documentaries for BBC Northern Ireland, and had a brief spell in London as a presenter on BBC Radio Four.


Gerry Anderson's funeral will take place on Sunday at 11:00 BST at St Eugene's Cathedral in Derry. Describing him as a "true legend of the industry", the director of BBC Northern Ireland, Peter Johnston, said his BBC colleagues and many listeners would miss him.

Mrs Anderson said she understood people would want to "show their love and appreciation for Gerry in a public way", but asked that people respect the family's privacy in the coming days.

"Gerry was a man of great wit and mischief, but he also brought great wisdom and insight to what he did. After a year Anderson Country was dropped, although the programme continued as The Afternoon Shift for another three years presented by Laurie Taylor and Daire Brehan.

Mrs Anderson said he had been "the most courageous and best friend anyone could ever have", and that the Anderson family were "immensely proud" of how he had dealt with his illness.

His daily programme on BBC Radio Ulster attracted dedicated fans, but almost two years ago, he stopped broadcasting because of illness. These are external links and will open in a new window. Another former colleague, broadcaster Joe Mahon, said Gerry Anderson the broadcaster was different from the quiet, "reserved" man he remembers, away from the microphone. His Radio Four show received hostile reviews and marked a low point for the presenter, both personally and professionally, but he continued to make award-winning programmes for BBC Northern Ireland. "This is a day of great sadness for everyone at Radio Foyle, Radio Ulster and BBC Northern Ireland, and of course our thoughts are with Gerry's wife and family," he said. In 1994, BBC Radio 4 contracted the broadcaster to present an afternoon magazine programme running from 3 to 4 pm.

"Of course, he'll be sadly missed by all of us, but also by all his loyal listeners, for whom he often brought light on dark days over the decades. "Somebody told me, 'your record was on the radio and the man playing the record put a rooster on just after you'd started to sing'.
