[SOXY BOY]

Sad news, always enjoyed his afternoon show.

[MacAdder]

Wasn't his show called Steve Wright Sunday love songs?

Very sad.
Quite liked the geeky DJ.

RIP

[Des Parrot]

43 years of consistency but a marmite character. Thanks for the hundreds of hours of listening. RIP

[The Bloop]

His Sunday show was been prerecorded. Wouldn't have been recorded too long beforehand mind.
He was a decent broadcaster, and even though much of his material was repetitive, he'll be missed.
RIP

Due to the monotonous nature of the work, the bosses in Companies House in the 80s decided that radios would be allowed in the Microfiche library where I worked for about four years, so Radio One was on all day in there. Granted,the quality of the opposition wasn’t great, but Steve Wright was the best, funniest and most interesting of the four DJs I’d listen to in my working day by a country mile.

Really sad to hear of his passing as he was someone who always seemed so young in his outlook.

Only occasionally bother with these freds, I thought he was OK in his profession one of the better ones, just a pity he worked for such a despicable organisation.

What's he died of ?

What's he died of ?

Don't think any details have been released.

Another bites the dust, a very good DJ, starting to feel the grim reaper on my shoulder.

R.I.P.

I had the pleasure of working for John Myers, a giant in the radio industry and responsible for launching Real Radio. He insisted that a good presenter should be marmite, for as long as some would hate them others would love them, passionately.

[PontBlue]

Quite apt that it should be announced in the afternoon.

R.I.P.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

What's he died of ?

R.I.P.

I am 5 months older than he was

I have already felt the grim reaper on my shoulder. On August 15th 2022 when I had my cardiac arrest!

He can wait for a few years now.

I hope!

I couldn't listen to him. He had a habit of allowing just one verse and chorus of a song, then talking over the rest.

I had heard that most (maybe all) of the jingles used on his show were written by him. He'd earn royalties every time they were used and it was in his contract that they had to be used every show.

Chris Moyles used to do that

I couldn't stand listening to him either. Radio 2 should be blown up, shot down,burnt down.......whatever it takes.....

He played shite music (as has every daytime Radio 1 DJ with the exception of the great Johnnie Walker - maybe a bit before your time Eric?). However, iI loved his sense of humour. His show was worth listening to for that alone.
