It was like listening to an old friend from my youth and there was always a story or quip that made us all laugh or even spark a conversation between us about what we’d just heard Steve talk about. His voice and tone never changed in 40 years, always bright but warm at the same time. Why the BBC didn’t think he appealed to the under 50’s I don’t know? Will be sadly missed x

Such sad and shocking news, but now now that Steve Wright has left us, I now have no reason at all to tune in to BBC Radio 2. I stopped listening to the Morning show when Zoe Ball took over and went on to what is now Greatest Hits Radio, I stopped listening in the afternoon when they took Steve away from his brilliant afternoon show, I stopped listening in the early evening on my journey home, when the messed up Simon Mayo’s show by putting in a female DJ with him, it ruined his show, but thankfully his show continues on Greatest Hits Radio, I stopped listening to R2 in the morning when Ken Bruce moved to GHR where I can still enjoy his show, I was expecting them to make an offer to Steve Wright as he would have been welcomed there by all his listeners who appreciated his humour and variety, I don’t know if it was ever considered but I’m sure all his loyal listeners would have tuned in to him and his posse there I still hope that Tony Blackburn will get an offer to transfer to GHR as that is where he truly belongs now that R 2 has ruined the schedules. I was left with tuning in on Sundays to Steve Wright, my only time listening to R2, so now no more R2 for me. You only realise how good a DJ is when someone that is not a natural DJ stands in for them. BBC radio 2 has the stupidity to believe that ordinary celebrities can do the job, but it just proves what a difficult job it is, to get your personality over just by radio. I just hope that Steve knew how much he was appreciated and loved by his audience, I’m in my 70’s so have grown up and old along side him and the other greats.

So very sad that Steve has passed away, I listened to him for years from radio 1 then 2 . I work in the building trade and just can’t work without the radio on , it really feels like losing a close family member, felt the same when Terry wogan passed away ……people that love radio will feel the same I’m sure ….. I wonder if radio presenters know just how much there fans love them …….personally I couldn’t wait for his show to start, just hearing his intro music you knew the next few hours were gonna gonna be great fun……. RIP Steve , an absolute legend….. Shame on the BBC for killing this fine human being ….. oh and replacing him with an absolute doughnut.

White, Old, Male, 67? Get Out Of Here says The BBC n order to become more "progressive" and broke his heart as he no longer seemed relevant and had an outlet for his talent,which still shone through at his premature end.

They broke the mould with Steve.. he really was a one off.. intelligent with style.. as the song goes music was my first love and it will be my last.. it certainly ran through his veins... pure magic .. life won't be the same without Steve.. RIP 😎 time for some serious jocking.. let the music play 🎵🎶🎙 💞🥰

If not for steve paving the way in that regard there wouldnt have been Mark and lard. Though granted they were the best. And there hadn't been mark and lard there arguably would have been the whole "Britpop" phenonamon.
