HAVE YOU READ THIS?????

For crying out loud, what the hell are they doing at Radio 2 – how on earth can they even consider replacing Ken Bruce while keeping the biggest tosser on the airwaves on any station in any country?

I quite like Simon Mayo but how the bloody hell does Steve – dickhead-for-life – Wright survive a reshuffle and Ken Bruce gets the chop – it’s just complete madness.

Violating the Trades Description Act!

For those who use DAB Digital radio you’ll know that road stations can send short informative messages about the show to your radio.

Y’know useful stuff like who’s the artist currently being played and the track title, perhaps a web address or phone number and usually the name of the DJ (and for those who don't have DAB Digital radio you now know this).

 

Certainly on Radio 2 they use this. Normally it’s something like “Wake up with Wogan – now playing [track] by [artist]...” or “The Ken Bruce Show – now playing [track] by [artist]...” and this just repeats on a regular basis.

 

So what do we think the egotistical toss pot Steve Wright would have for his self-inflated show? Just the same perhaps, after all the BBC do need to be consistent don’t they? Well, no that would be too easy and a missed opportunity for the pillock to tell you how great he is. Here are the self-promoting messages you get on his show:

 

1.)    Steve Wright in the Afternoon – Big guests, top music and topical humour

 

2.)    Steve Wright in the Afternoon – The big show!

 

3.)    Steve and the team bring you the best in pop, classics and oldies

 

4.)    In a jam? Call Sally’s travel hotline on: 03700 100 200

 

5.)    Steve Wright in the Afternoon – Website of the week, horoscopes, factoids and banter

 

6.)    Subscribe to  Steve’s podcast at radio2.co.uk now

 

7.)    Steve Wright: email steve.wright@bbc.co.uk

 

8.)    You can text the show on: 88291 (network charges may apply)

 

This last item – number 8 – is frequently repeated between each of the other items

 

Now, not only is all this pathetic self-promotion and “bigging up” but it’s a complete pack of lies – Since when did they ever have Topical Humour on the show – or any humour for that matter. When, since the 1980’s, did Steve Wright EVER EVER EVER play “the best in pop, classics and oldies” EVER? And As for the “factoids and banter” well I think we all know where they can put that message!
