Well said Noel. Steve Wright was my only contact with the BBC, it's changed so much that listening to Steve you were tapping into how things were. I felt so sad when he did his last show knowing full well that was basically the end of his regular broadcasting. Thing about Steve was that his quality did not diminish, the afternoon show was as fresh as it was in the 80s. I feel Privaledged to have Been around to listen to this great broadcaster and person and yeh the light is dimming on that old school generation.
Spot on Noel! Didn’t waffle on unlike some, straight to the point,it’s hard to accept his sad passing but we do with a smile because he made us smile I salute you wrighty!!😢
I can’t listen to his voice yet it’s too upsetting. I never even met him but I feel like I’ve lost a friend along with millions of others. He made us laugh even if we were have a bad day. He saw us through Covid. The chemistry with his team was second to none. He was not just a genius but simply the nicest most sincere person and I have missed him every day since the BBC axed his little show.
Steve wright was a radio legend, his voice I loved, It seems we all were his friends even though he didn't know us all, I am really sad at the news of his passing but happy I had the pleasure to listen and laugh at his shows, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time, gone way too soon steve you will be missed by us all
Loved Steve Wright. His radio shows were great. Steve, Ken, Tony, Paul, Simon Mayo, Noel Edmunds, Kenny Everate etc are special and must be celebrated and not forgotten but loved. Sleep well Steve. God rest your soul.
Let's name some more Top Dj's Mìke Reid, mike Smith, peter Powell,( hello mate) Johnny walker, Paul Burnett Simon Bates, The hairy cornflake,DLT. Tommy Vance, Liz Kershaw, Diddy David hamilton, The great Gambo., Gary Davies, Richard Skinner, Adrian juste, Annie nightingale, And to sign off Steve Wright, amazing guy.......WHAT A LOSS
And jonny walker !!! All aforementioned were a sound track to my life !!! I was born 1960 so grew up in the halcyon years of the uk DJ. Remember living by the radio as a young teenager .Wonderful times ❤❤❤
There's no one out there now that that can attract listeners like Radio 1 did back in the day. Thank Christ I witnessed it, cos it was damn special and really professional!! Thanks for the memories. ❤️
Noel is so correct. It is approaching the end of an era. I remember in the 60s and 70s the Radio 1djs were as famous as anyone whose records they played, probably more so in some cases. I have recordings of Wogan, Fluff, Ray Moore etc , people of that ilk. Still better than almost anything on offer today, apart from Tony B, Johnnie Walker, Gambo and Ken Bruce. RIP Steve Wright.

Well said Noel. 💋
Lucky Steve didn't try one of Noel's bungee jumps...
Not sure if Chris Evans is in the same league as the others, poles apart from Steve Wright
I looked on his wiki, absolutely no reference to him being Jewish (not that theres anything wrong with that)
Can't believe he omitted Jimmy Saville from that list of luminaries......
I don't think so he was brill
Crap
He was boring! And he ruined TOTP2 with his stupid comments
Do you mean , Wright or Edmonds ?
