`Died suddeny` after years of medical neglect. Ask me? Even paid privatley which I could not afford for an angiogram. Considerable stenosis but Dr. Lipkin at the Wellington London fobbed it off. Cut forward. 2024 a carotid artery ultra sound has left me with deafness left ear. The reason according to HARVARD medical, `Anyone suffering with stenosis and having a carotid ultra sound should take care as they might develop deafness`

Had Steve Wright been on a commercial radio there would have been no disastrous decision to end his Afternoon Show, possibly the best of its kind in the UK. It was no mean feat running a popular radio show for 40 years and it only got better and better, the very, very best. It was a mystery to me why he didn’t quit the BBC completely there and then, take a well earned rest and break and then resume his popular Afternoon Show format with the likes of Virgin Radio, Greatest Hits Radio etc. Who would have snapped him up in a heartbeat, it would have been a win win for everyone. All things have a cycle and a forty year run is certainly good going but if the public still want the product and Steve was more than happy to continue with his team then it would have just been wonderful. Steve left a legacy to be proud of caring about the quality and his listeners as we cared about him

Paul Gambergini was interviewed this week and stated him and Steve were due to have meetings with BBC bosses this week regarding the new digital Radio 2 oldies channel and I would imagine the plan was to have Steve do the afternoon show on there. He said when he first announced his departure that the plan was to always do more podcast style shows and other projects. I find the whole narrative a little much, how many people in media can say they had work solidly for other 40 years?
@ShanghaiRooster8 ай бұрын
Paul also said that Steve was offered very big money to move to a commercial channel but turned them down as he wouldn't have been allowed by them to do his show as he'd done it for so many years at the BBC. As he said, its not just about the name on the packet.

He said that he understood and that it was time for him to try something different and it was right that someone else should have a turn on the afternoon slot. Are people forgetting it was the BBC that gave Steve the platform to entertain us for over 40 years? Are people forgetting that Steve still worked for the BBC and indeed had just done his show on Sunday before he sadly passed away that night? The arrogance of these so-called pundits who probably never even met Steve is beyond belief. Stop trying to make political gain out of the death of our best ever DJ. We will love you forever Steve.

The only "old" DJ's who had their finger on the pulse for new music was the late, great John Peel & Anne Nightingale. If Bannister had got more smarter music-loving young DJ's, such as Pete Tong & Trevor Nelson, the transition back then would been better. Unfortunately a lot of the replacements were more interested in their egos & the music took a backseat. Indeed Radio 1 felt like it were for short-term trendies rather than long-term enthusiasts

They absolutely made him look terrible during a Climate debate on live TV.. when a smarmy scientist pulled out some fake DATA from his pocket and proceeded to unleash his rehearsed speech upon Bellamy who just sat shaking his head.

Steve Wright in the afternoon on Radio 1 was one of the best radio shows ever. He was a brilliant host, so sad to hear of his passing and especially of his being dumped by the increasingly awful BBC.

I remember listening to him on the radio as a teenager. Part of my growing up. Very sad news. The BBC acts as an organisation funded via tax; it doesn't need to worry about what clients want. Instead, it can pursue various agendas.

It’s both interesting and unfortunate to see this particular school of thought so widely reported and it’s something which came to me quite early on as this sad news originally broke. I’m 62 now and I’d listened to Steve as far back as the ‘Read and Wright’ days (which no-one seems to have mentioned) though less so recently simply because the BBC have in effect turned Radio 2 into what I’d always perceived Radio 1 to be! I’ve said for some time now that the relentless pursuit of the younger audience has somehow left the Beeb with nothing relevant to me (except perhaps for Johnnie Walker) so as a result, my ‘go-to’ has become Planet Rock. I can’t help thinking that maybe the BBC radio management are all too young to be familiar with Harry Chapin’s ‘WOLD’ or Mark Germino’s ‘Rex Bob Lowenstein’ but they’ve certainly made both a reality…!!

I complained like many of the other fans of Steve Wright in the afternoon, when it was announced they were axing his show after 25 years...but we were all ignored. Helen Thomas wanted Steve out and she got him out. She wanted to take BBC radio 2 in a different direction in the afternoons, she did that all right. Lost millions of listeners. I have not listened to BBC radio 2 since they cruelty got rid of Steve for being too old and not relevant. He was more relevant than any of the younger and modern DJs. She has killed BBC radio 2 and then announces a few weeks ago they launching another BBC radio 2 ( add on ) to try and win back the millions of listeners they treated with utter contempt when we complained about the way the station was going. I went over to Greatest Hits radio and when Ken Bruce Joined that was great. I only wish Steve had joined him. I feel for his colleagues/fans/family, but as for the BBC management and Helen Thomas in particular their hollow words are insulting to Steve Memory....

I stopped listening to BBC Radio 2 years ago because most of the music they played was not my cup of tea. Also I don't like DJs talking over the music, which was pretty common at the time I stopped listening. The BBC needs to be defunded, it is becoming an irrelevance in today's multi media world. I spend far more time on UTube than I do watching tv or listening to the radio. As I'm nearly 70 I'm supposed to be in the group most likely to listen to BBC radio or watch their tv channels but they produce nothing for me these days. I certainly don't subscribe to their woke political bias either. I will not be renewing my license.
