It’s finally happened - Steve Wright in the Afternoon is going

[PuppyMonkey]

He’s just announced it!!

Hurrah!!!! About bloody time.

Hallelujah! After testing positive for covid on Monday and feeling pretty rotten this has cheered me right up.

Such an awful show and he's cringe.

I’m personally gutted, I love his show.

Thank goodness! I can't understand how it has lasted so long

to be replaced with what though?

It was time really wasn’t it?

I think he said he’s staying at Radio 2 to do more special projects. Who’ll get the afternoon slot?

Rylan?

I’ve quite enjoyed Vernon sitting in for Zoe!

Thank goodness for that! DH will be gutted when I tell him though.

So that's the end of Serious Jockin' (or Serious Cringin', as my son calls it)?

I've already cracked the wine open, but will have an extra glass in celebration.

Good news but I suspect the replacement will not be to my liking either, they seem to have abandoned the core demographic listener.

Replaced with Scott mills 2-4pm and an extra hour of Sara Cox so 4-7

Replaced with Scott Mills, yaaaaayyyyy!!!!

Oh thank christ. Best news I've had all week!

Scott mills is moving over to radio 2???

I hate scott mills
At least steve wright plays good music

Oh, I missed the Scott Mills thing. Okay, I suppose.

I don’t think I need another hour of Sara tbh.

Steve Wright has never moved on from the 80s talking over the end of the songs. He also cuts the music short.

Scott mills - I can't stand SW's show but Scott is very wet and boring 🙁 I'll stick with R4!

Scott always seems awkward on R2 but I wonder if that's because he's filling in. Might be better on his own show.

So pleased Steve Love the Chuffing Show Wright is off. And an extra hour of Sara is no bad thing either.

Rylan would have been amazing, but probably has too many other things he’s doing for TV etc.

I was literally just saying he should go & be replaced with Scott earlier in the week when he was playing that Alan Bennett thing for the millionth time.
Feeling a bit woo now, might have a go at predicting the lottery numbers...

so pleased he’s going ,I could have put up with him if he hadn’t sung over any songs he was playing. He put me right off R2

Great news! He is abysmal.

Oh I love Scott, he’s fun.
