Big George Webley: A Tribute

George Webley, a longtime radio host for BBC London, died this weekend at the age of 53, his family said.

Webley was the mainstay of the weekday overnight show on BBC London 94.9 for the past five years and received the Sony Award for best music presenter in 2002, the BBC said Sunday.

Known around the BBC as "Big George," Webley was also a musician who wrote the theme song for "Have I Got News For You." He worked for BBC Three Counties Radio before moving to London.

"He was a truly distinctive broadcaster who will be terribly missed by his many devoted listeners and his colleagues at BBC London 94.9," said the station's editor, David Robey.

The cause of death was not immediately known and there were no details on any funeral arrangements.
