Steve Wright, Radio 2 -how much longer can it go on?
Discussion
I rarely hear his awful show on Radio 2 (fairly awful station too), but whenever I do can hardly believe how terrible he/it actually is. It is excruciating to listen to.
It sounded to me as if his pseudo-sycophantic sidekicks don't even enjoy it much theses days either. It is quite sad/depressing.
It can't be the case that there are many people who genuinely like his show or that the Radio 2 managers think that he is doing a good job

After Chris Evans, Steve is my favourite show of the day and IMO he plays some of the best music on R2
Seriously? If I recall correctly, he also has an awful show at the weekend.Try listening to Radcliffe and Maconie on 6Music (1-4pm) instead, there really is no comparison.

Can't stand him, or Jeremy Vine. The sooner he stops the better. But we don't have R2 on at work so that's a win. Evans in the morning and Mayo going home are fine.
are you OK?

Sorry, but I'd far rather listen to Steve Wright than Chris Moyles!!!

t, is that the only choice? Pass the revolver.(Q: You're stranded on a lifeboat with Moyles, Wright, food and water for two and a gun with one bullet. Who do you shoot? A: Yourself)

Yes, seriously but I don't listen to his weekend show (I don't listen to the radio at weekends). I find Maconie as irritating as some of you find Wright. Mark and Lard were epic though.Try listening to Radcliffe and Maconie on 6Music (1-4pm) instead, there really is no comparison.
On the rare occasions I get to listen to the radio these days it's usually R2 until 1200, R4 for an hour, over to 6Music (if DAB is available) and then back to R4.
Vine makes my teeth itch and Wright's show is only worth listening to when he's on holiday. Chris Tarrant did an excellent job standing in for him a few years back.

Distinct odor of fish coming from the radio!Tarrant is quite possibly the worst presenter ever put on radio 2, and that's allowing for stiff competition in the form of Jeremy Vine, Dermot O'Leary and Graham Norton. Norton's show was SO much better when Craig Charles stood in for a few weeks.
Steve Wright is awful. Why he 'sings' the last line of every song I'll never understand. fk your factoids and your 'loving the show Steve' bks.
I quite like Mayo at 5 and Ken in the mornings. But tbh anything's better than Scottish radio. Clyde? I'd rather drive my car into it than listen to it. And Radio Scotland is what I imagine an independent Scotland to be like, all crap local presenters and ceilidh music. fk that.
