This was the daftest move the BBC have ever made. This show was head and shoulders above anything else they had and indeed anywhere in the world by reason of it's non music interludes which sometimes were fun and at other times informative. Always an element of surprise and his interviews though brief were fascinating. I never heard him interview Madonna but that was probably due to the fact that he kept calling her Madge. I have been listening to him for 23 years and I guess i will have to fall back on the audio tapes I have of some of his earlier shows in 2000 onwards. A radio station could do well to try to imitate this show. I never heard the Glen Campbell Wichita Lineman I thought he signed off with Queens Radio Gaga.

You have a comforting voice on the radio. You’re the Tiger Woods of Golf, the Roger Federer of tennis. We all have gifts, you found yours and excelled in it, gonna miss you. “Any Quo”, “Shout out”. Thanks for doing your shtick. I love you Steve, over 40 years broadcasting. I think you’ve been cut too early, anyway producers have different ideas. Trying to keep it more hip possibly, Thank you for all the journeys and roads and weather conditions you lifted us up through. May God bless you and your future endeavours. Good luck to Tim Smith too!, I think he was one of the original posse.

​@@ethandalton6480 Completely agree, I listened to the show, essentially for the traffic reports, & Steve repeatedly commits the cardinal sin of talking over the tracks before they've finished. The blunders of getting sayings wrong or misunderstanding things that his co-presenters are saying. The jingles sound like something from the 80s or even 70s in some cases. I think people are resistant to change, they like reassurance of a familiar voice they've heard for decades. Personally I'd like to have seen OJ Borg have a go at a more sociable slot rather than being tucked away in the wee small hours.

@@ethandalton6480 Garbage!! you are clueless when it comes to quality broadcasting. Steve Wright is from a generation of broadcasters who can hold a live programme together. Back in the day when we didn't have the plethora of radio stations that we have now, you had to be the best to get onto the radio. Steve, like the rest of the radio 1 and 2 DJ's were the best of the best, (but I expect you're too young to remember those days). The majority of presenters now are box tickers who have just about got the grasp of speaking English.

The show has been dumbed down over the years, by the PC brigade, but was still funny and on point and Steve had adapted it well. The world has become a joyless place and I feel sorry for our younger generation, follow the herd or be picked off.

A great, poignant play out for a legendary presenter. I used to listen to him a lot in the eighties in the afternoon on Radio 1 in the days when it was huge. The secret to his shows, I think, was consistency. He remained at the top of his game for over forty years. It was top quality radio that was always there regardless of the stage of life you were at or events in the world. God knows there has been a lot of tumultuous change in all that time yet the show always delivered. I don't buy the idea that it was stale as if a something is really good quality why change the fundamentals. I have not listened for years except in waiting rooms occasionally but whenever I did the quality was always high and it reminded me of the halcyon days of Radio 1 in the eighties which was a special time for radio and music. Steve Wright will be missed from his daily show.

I heard all of Steve Wright's last Big Show in the afternoon last Friday on BBC Radio 2 at home on my vintage ghettoblasters & valve radios & I thought he held it together to the end very well & so did his 2 co-hosts Tim Smith & Janie-Lee Grace & traffic & travel Bobbie Prior. I always liked Steve Wright's Big Show in the afternoon on BBC Radio 2 complete with factoids & Serious Jockin' with no 'G' on Friday afternoons from 4.15pm. His Cockney accent is brilliant (if you want a shout-out lol) & I will miss how many hours to go to Serious Jockin' with no 'G' on Friday afternoons. Steve Wright is such a natural & takes everything in his stride well & I will certainly miss him on weekday afternoons now. I can recall him back in the 1990's doing the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1, known as Steve Wright in the Morning. All the best to Steve Wright for the future & I hope the BBC will come to regret this decision at some point!

Been listening to Steve Wright since the early 1980s. I can’t put into words just how sad I am that his show has gone. As for Radio 2, I like Ken Bruce’s show and Jeremy Vine but will switch at 2.00 p.m. now to Boom Radio or Smooth.

Steve's shows were always superb - don't think I ever heard him have a bad day or a dud show. A true broadcasting professional. I can't imagine the replacement will have 10% of his audience. However, in radio it's not about your current audience put the 'potential audience' and that's the gamble the controller of R2 has taken.

Sad to see Steve and the gang go, but at least he still has Sunday love song's show. Just wondering how long it will be before Ken Bruce will be getting the push. So my radio will only be on for the Ken Bruce show now. The worst part of kens show is when the guy from jelly vine productions comes on for five minutes to promote his show. Which I might say is a fantastic show when he's not on it.

Don’t get too sad guys as he said he is NOT retiring from the BBC he will still present Sunday love songs and he (as DJ silly boi) will post a short podcast of serious jokin’ (no g) every Friday so you will still have a chance to listen to him UPDATE: Very soon you will be able to hear Steve Wright all the way through your weekend as he will be very soon replacing Paul Gambaccini on Pick Of The Pops as Gambo is going to host a Sunday evening Radio 2 show

He also said it’s the end of Steve Wright in the Afternoon “for a while”. Presumably there is time left on his BBC contract. When that ends …… If I were an afternoon DJ on Virgin / Global / Bauer I’d be very worried.

Most people don't remember, I don't know if it was Radio 1 or 2 but they tried putting Steve Wright's slot in the mornings for a while but it just didn't work as his style of show and presenting was more suited to the afternoon when listeners are deemed to be more relaxed.

This is the end of an era, Steve and the team have been a part of our lives, I know the beeb say they have to move with the times but this is one occasion when they really shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken. My drive home from work will now be listening to another station I don't have anything against Scott Mills but this is just wrong.

The best thing BBC R2 has done get read of Steve Wright, And no more people saying keep up with good work Steve. He never done hard work in his life how can people say that?? Good luck Scott Mills and you will not need it. I believe this is just the start of BBC R2 shake up for there DJ'S.
