Stars from BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 share their memories of Steve Wright following his death aged 69.
Steve Wright, who has died aged 69, hosted the anarchic breakfast show on Radio 1 for a year before switching to Radio 2, where he became a garrulous fixture on weekday afternoons with middle-of-the-road pop hits, interviews and features mixed with interjections from his regular on-air posse of equally mouthy subordinates, a format that became known as “zoo” radio.
Steve Wright was a much-loved BBC DJ for more than 40 years, as well as being a true radio pioneer.
The radio presenter was best known for hosting BBC Radio 2 programme Steve Wright In The Afternoon.
