wow....Mr Consistent

Gosh, first link is all about me me me, I'm on radio 1, I'm sick, I'm new here, I'm so happy. The BBC really see their audience as just lucky to have them and a bunch of ungrateful peasants who they have to keep entertained. A lot of BBC radio was like that back in the day and when I got to commercial radio I was shocked to discover the focus had to be on the audience, giving them a reason to stay listening, to interact with us or share the station with others; maybe the sort of thing you have to grapple with when people can choose to pay for your service or not. It was a shocker but it taught me the value of thinking of others and how to serve them, something I fear Steve Wright and his cohort never quite understood.

With a break in the 90s would be at the beeb for a long time; loved listening to that.

STYX 6 minutes to 8, is that Frank Spencer?

Rusling is a well known scammer and trickster. An accomplished liar, who will go to the ends of the earth to obtain cash in any way, fair or foul, he knows. Rusling has no conscience, and must never be trusted

If you are interested, I have some Steve Wright in the Afternoon radio shows from BBC Radio 2 from 2016 on: www.youtube.com/@by_antony

After Radio 210, from Reading, Berkshire

Paul Rusling was and still is nothing but a traitor to free radio and a charlatan

T V on the radio my fav DJ ever . kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzZYXmagZioa5Y

So many teen memories of Steve Wright In The Afternoon. Brilliant DJ.

I see Tommy Vance gave his producer Trevor Dann a mention, years later to be one of the hatchet men of Radio 1. By the way, this is great audio quality. Doubtful it came off the AM broadcast 🤔

I was living in Harlow , Essex in the early 80s and listened to Steve and many other great DJ S 👍🫠

First show, first link and didn't sound nervous at all, what a pro

I live in the Netherlands and listened to Steve every day in the afternoon on the medium wave in the 80’s. Loved the show!

Best radio presenter the uk as ever witnessed 👌r.i.p Steve ✌🏻

I was 21 , great music times on the radio with the brill Steve Wright 😁

TV on the radio. Loved him and Steve Wright. Modern DJs cannot hold a candle to them.

This was lovely to hear. Thank you.

Two legendary broadcasters gone.good memories of more innocent times. They don't make em like this anymore. Best wishes from Scotland.

As slick 44 years ago as only this year, mr consistent, much missed.

You can really hear the Kenny Everett infuence in his presenting style here.

anyone know anything about Steves funeral ?...we had to listen to SARA COX crying down the mic the day he passed, now shes laughing and joking and not a mention of his funeral !

I probably listened to tis at the time as I had no tv at the time and all I didi was listen to radio 1...remember Steve with Mike Read with the Read and Wright show on Saturdays i think in '79 ..this must be when he got the show all to himself

Some hooter

This is when Britain was truly great no nonsense just fantastic times unlike todays garbage we have to deal with

just feels like home

sat night staying in and listening to this in 1980 must have been way better than staying in 2024 on a sat night and listening the utter nasty bilge playing on Radio 1 now

was really brilliant at this was Steve. Never been a show as good as Steve Wright in the afternoon in the late 80s on R1. Easy life!!!

I wish I was 8 years old again, back when times were simpler. In fact.....keep the technology as advanced but the simpler times and I'll be happy.

fkn'ell waited 44 years to find out it was a melted snowman.. ;) RIP Steve Wright God Bless You mate.

How superb to hear this, and Tommy Vance at the start.

Hey I did that recording of Roger when I recorded it in 1980 here -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/naeudYVunpmbidUsi=Fhq4ZSSW6Z7I85Jp

His first show? Wow! Never heard this before.Straight from the off, he engaged his audience, and made them feel part of the show.Brilliant interpretation of what was needed to make it all work.From his first show, to his last he made you feel you were important.You were the important one! Not him or the artist.Not many could carry that off with sincerity. But Wrighty certainly could! The impressions were also there at the beginning, and all the 'bits and pieces' were already permutating in the background. He really was a one off! Such a special individual and broadcaster.So sad listening back to this, and thinking we will never hear his brilliance on the airwaves again. That is why all the clips of his shows should be played as much as possible, and saved for posterity.So a new generation can come in and pick up from where Steve left off, and create their own style.There will be only one Steve, but "zoo radio" will live on.Thanks to the Godfather Steve Wright. Miss ya Steve.God bless. Thanks for posting.

I was 14 and full of dreams 😘

Radio like it used to be.

Jan 1980 I was listening to Capital Radio, or out playing in a band (brass)

Still a tragic loss a one off

John Lennon was still alive when this was broadcast. What a long career Steve Wright had.

When they used to do end credits. Totally forgot about that

Steve said 285 and 275 when the jingles and other presenters said it the other way round, Steve trying to be different?

Radio 1 was unmissable back then, interesting that Steve was put on an evening show at the beginning.

Trevor Dann 😮🙉😳

Back when the BBC had the benefit of Radio Luxembourg and Caroline to poach ready made talent from.

Tommy vance another legend ..

There’s no doubt about it : no contest : nobody will ever hold a candle to Steve : he was the master of upbeat disposable radio : Steve was the MALT on a shelf of blended cheap whiskies : Steve is simply irreplaceable : but thankfully due to media nowadays we can all pop in and get a little fix of Steve : thanks for uploading , really enjoyed hearing Steve at his best. RIP

This was when Radio 1 was a really great radio station to listen to. If Radio 1 still sounded like this, I would still listen to it today. I stopped listening to Radio 1 in 1993, after the Matthew Bannister purge of the station.

wrighty was good wasn't he, much missed. iv not listened to him in years due to work etc etc but when I caught him on a Sunday now and again and I enjoyed it but since his passing iv delved into his past shows ( god bless KZbin ), and yeah ., he was a superb DJ, could easily hold a show on his own. RIP

What a natural.

*Nothing funnier than a joke about midgets*

Had a little cry. He sounded much younger and high pitched than I recall joining later in the mud 80s but his gorgeous humour is shining through. I hear him laughing at himself which I loved. Forever missed xx
