Another show on radio 2.
Steve Wright new radio 2 show
What secret does he know that is being kept quiet? Or is it some practical joke of radio 2, some bet between executives.

Steve Wright

Steve Wright and Paul Gambaccini get new Radio 2 shows

Steve Wright will host Pick of the Pops, while its presenter Paul Gambaccinni moves to Sundays.

I dont mind him. He doesnt take himself seriously

Bang goes the last remaining show I listened to on R2. I can’t bear Steve Wright. So childish, and always talks over the records.

What?! Steve Wright back on Radio 2....

Noooooo!

Can't listen to him ever again, I was delighted when he finished on his afternoon show.

Maybe they're about to dump Sunday love songs... One can only hope.
I don't get Sunday Radio 2, it's like a weird parallel universe.

Kate bottley is awesome!

I'm glad Gambo's going. I never thought he was right for Pick of the Pops. He's great on American music programmes but I never felt he ' got' POTP & usually missed any quirky hits to play a "future American No1" which would often be something regularly played on the radio.
Steve Wright will be better.
I would've rather Gary Davies got it though!

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 11/08/2023 00:01

Something about him gives me the creeps, and I've never been able to explain why.
Not to mention the 'love the show Steve' messages he'd always read out. Made him seem like a right twat.

Tyrannosaurusdrip · 29/08/2023 18:48

I've just stumbled across this thread as there's yet another thing on radio 2 with Steve wright on. I can't flipping stand him.

LondonLass91 · 29/08/2023 18:50

What I'd love to know is where Steve Allen has gone..I loved listening to him on LBC when the kids woke me up early! I can't find out where he's gone though...

Romeiswheretheheartis · 29/08/2023 18:54

I would have agreed once, but having tried and failed to be able to listen to Scott Mills, I can honestly say I'd rather have Steve back in the afternoon. At least he's cheery.

Agree. Scott Mills does not have a “radio” voice.
Cannot bear Rev Kate Botley, she is the worst.

yes! To Gary Davies- Radio 2, please give him a regular show!

They're tongue in cheek you know that?

bellac11 · 29/08/2023 19:07

Cant stand that Kate Bottley, shes all over the bloody telly as well

Im not keen on Gary Davis either, he really does take himself seriously

Me too. He just went pffft and disappeared.

PinkMimosa · 25/12/2023 08:11

He's on again today. Thankful to R2 though for promoting the fact that he'll be on so that I can avoid the station like the plague for a day.

WaltzingMatilder · 25/12/2023 08:16

Haven't listened to the radio for years, cannot stand the boorish presenters waffling on and on and on. Radio has had its day, podcasts are much better.

CadyEastman · 13/02/2024 17:33

Bloody hell. Just heard he's dead.

Fordian · 13/02/2024 17:34

I know! It must have been unexpected as he was on last Sunday!
RIP, Steve 😞

Just heard that too. Steve Wright was one of the soundtracks to my childhood. So sad. He was 69.

RIP Steve Wright. 😥
