He's still at it then :-(
You may note from the slight delay between my last post and this that I have not had many things to say about the tosser who is Steve Wright.
The main reason for this is that I could stand it no longer and now listen to the Radio over t’internet – something I always knew we could do but was concerned about bandwidth - which doesn't seem to be an issue - anyway I digress ....
I was listening to Jeremy Vine’s show, got distracted by a phone call and the next thing I knew I was listening to fairly pants song (let’s face it all the songs on his playlist are pants – well the thing is if you had good music it would just highlight how totally shockingly useless the DJ is), so over the top of this pant song was old-Wighty-he-is-a-lad-ain’t-he?-wot-a-good-boy-he-is,-man-of-the-people-that-one,-salt-of-the-earth Singing in some jocular crappy way that in his mind passed as comic input.
What goes on in his mind? I stepped on a snail this morning that was demonstrating more entertainment qualities than that prat!
Just another reason to be grateful for broadband I guess ...

To this day I am amazed that he is still able to peddle that tired, boring, inane crap and package it as entertainment. Most celebrities that reach a high level have a certain amount of ego. He appears to have replaced humour, spontaneity and ability with a projection of his ego. Him, his 'crew' and the act. Total w@nk.
I ve spent years hating this show and wrights complete and utter disregard for progress, humour, decorum, self respect, spontaneity, focus on facts ( not factiods) - i.e, who is the artist, what is the song.
I had to work in an open office for a couple of years and could genuenly feel my teeth itch when i heard that stupid jingle come on at 2pm. Get him shipped off to a U.S. (because lets dface it, thats where he wants to be and his psychofantic hordes can follow ) fat camp where he can broadcast to all the stupid, backward, fat Americans who won't have the sense to know how truly loathsome his drivel is.
There was a time when I actually thought Steve Wrights show was entertaing and after years of "commercial same song every 20 minutes and same advert every 2 minutes" it was a better choice. But oh my god.....how much does Steve Wright love himself!! If I wanted to listen to an old man singin badly over songs Id have gone to my local on Kareoke night! Along with this insistance to butt in over songs and not only talk but sing and make stupid noises he also attmepts to make voices and accents...only amusing himself and his "crew". His "Sunday Love Songs" is not any better and talking to the answer phone messages as though someone is there only insenses me even more! What has happened to Radio 2?? They seem to rate having an overpaid idiot on the airwaves over an actual decent radio program. And dont get me started on Terry Wogan!! Have you noticed how much he "wheezes" on air. When youve heard it once itll get on your nerves allll the time! Not to mention his ridiculous attempt at funny accents Thank god for the internet, any radio station I want and they dont involve Steve "i love myself" Wright or Terry "im overpaid and think Im god" Wogan!
I agree with everything that has been said (everythng negative, that is).What a breath of fresh air it is when tosser wright goes on holiday and Mark Radcliffe sits in for him. Marks' brand of humour, wit, musical taste and genuine intelligence is soooo refreshing. All too soon though the week has gone and wanker wright is back with his sickening bunch of unfunny pillocks to lick his arse.
BBC, send him back to radio one where he can feel more at home with others of an IQ in single digits.
Check out the photos of the lardy bellend parking his enormous 4x4 in his garage - such a squeeze he has to thread his bulk through the boot just to get out. And he looks like he might have been on the sauce, unwashed and quite frankly, like he probably stinks of sweat, dirty hair and considerable urinary leakage.

Love the show, Steve.
HAHA Those pictures are vile!!! He looks like a tramp!! How can someone on £440,000 a year look like that!!
Im so pleased to see where my licence fee is being spent....outside catering for Radio 2 presumably!!
That lard arse makes me feel sick.!
Nick in Harrogate here, lots of us hate him up here aswell. I find him exceedingly annoying, why the BBC continues to hire him I don't know. Anyone who uses 'sally traffic' as a highlight to his long winded boring show should be axed.
I love Steve Wright !
You guys are all a bunch of WANKERS.
It's about time he was axed! His arrogance is amazing, the show is neither funny or entertaining. I have to listen to radio 2 at work and the Steve Wright show is the weakest link in the schedule. I look forward to the times when another Dj covers the show. Get rid of Steve Wright and get Mark Radcliffe to take over! Now he is a funny guy!
Colm,
You twat. Writing into a blog about that smarmy egomaniac to defend him. You are the first person I've ever heard admit to liking him. What is it? The shite humour, the shite music, the insightful comment on current affairs? As others have pointed out there are genuinely talented presenters out there, like Radcliffe, that deserve the exposure much more. Or is the problem that far to many listeners are of the calibre that read the Daily Mail and find You've Been Framed funny. Colm, fuck off.
What I fail to understand is your forensic knowledge of something you hate.
How much time do you spend listening each week?
Why do you put yourself through such self inflicted pain?
And wouldn't your time be better spent helping other terminal cynics?
I'm thinking you are probably a failed presenter, and 5Ft2 inches tall?
Nice come back!
Look up 'forensic' and 'terminal' and work them into a sentence so that they are grammatically correct.
5'3" to be precise. Just didn't get that big break on Radio Humberside's 1am to 4am slot. Now I'm just a bitter sausage factory worker facing the daily bombardment of afternoon radio 2. Never mind, I'll retire in 30 years and it'll all be a distant memory.
He read a message from somebody:
"Hey Steve, belting show as ever!"
It was TEN PAST TWO. 10 minutes into his show and somebody's claiming it's a "belting show"? I don't think so.
DIE.
The Guardian Online had an item on their 'Comment Is Free' area asking for opinions on the worst radio presenters/dj's. The usual suspects were there. Mostly the comments were aimed at the talent less Moyles and the likes of Jo Whiley. By far the most frequent and vicious were directed towards Wright. The incredulous tone of people that this git was still in employment was a common theme. I've only ever come across a couple of people that admit to liking the blokes’ show. They were wankers whose opinion was valueless.
I can't believe that you have set up a website simply to attack Steve Wright. He must have done something really terrible to you to let him you take over your life like this.
My late father used to say live and let live...might be worth reflecting on.

A nobel sentiment. The problem is that he is a highly paid 'entertainer' who has one of the highest profile radio slots available. For many this is rammed down their throats by moronic workmates who insist that it be played in it's entireity, everyday. His show is overblown crap with no substance or humor. The music is evidence of a complete lack of taste. The sycophantic interviews and behaviour of the crew are cringe worthy. BBC2 is part of a great service provider. At the moment they seam to be getting it completely wrong, long term, by employing this fool.
CovBoy
My 'factoid'pet hates for the fat bellend
1) The sugary false laughter from him and 'crew'
2) The bland 'that'll do' music. Its not difficult to play interesting/melodic music
3) Factoids - Random pieces of useless baseless information followed by sycophantic 'wow I never knew that' 'mm yeah' comments
4) Sycophantic interviewing - pretending that these 'D' list celebrities. At least Ross has a laugh with them.
5) The perpetual 'great show, keep up the good work' emails. - Who are the saddos who feel the need to write in and say this?
Without exception he is the worst DJ on R2 and that includes cock ends Jeremy Vine & Jonnie Walker
More people who are passionate and genuine please - e.g Ross, Marconie, O'Grady & Lamarr
Steve Wright? more like Steve Shite.
I haven't heard that crap show for years but reading all your comments it sounds like it hasn't changed one bit, things like Sally Traffic, Miles Mendozy C**t's website of the day and Tim "I've been to every aiport in the world" Smith. And what was the name of that hippy who grows all her food?
What a set of tossers
I have to be honest I think Jonnie Walker is a paler version of "Steve Sh1te". Simply hes been around too long and has gone staler than a year old loaf of bread. He never stops puffing on about Pirate Radio (Give it a rest Jonnie, we've heard your story about doing a show on a boat in the north sea 40 years ago, it wasnt that exiting the first time round)
This sounds of the seventies show he does. There are some amazing/interesting songs that can be pulled from this decade. Does jonnie play them? No. its all obvious stuff that is in the same tame rock vernucular like Stones and Status Quo. You would think Punk, and the beginnings of electro pop never happened. I also suspect he'd be more at home on a 60's show as it seems approx 20% of the songs he plays have origins in, or are from the 60's
Janey Lee Grace...Oh! My! God! What a self-obsessed hollier-than-thou piece of crap she is. "Yes Steve we should all give up our cars, ride bicycles made of hemp and heat our homes with potato peelings. Actually I cured my dogs cancer by rubbing carrot on it..." Piss of you smug tit! For the sake of our mental health. Get this show off the air! NOW!
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
From the moment the news finishes after Jeremy Vine and we get the "Ta! - followed by the "cast of thousands - big show" theme music I am dashing across the office looking for the off button.
If I'm too slow or too busy I have to grin and bear the "impressions" "funny voices" and "Love the Show" e-mails. ARRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH. My mysery is complete if I have the misfortune of hearing Janey-Lee Chipmunk Face Grace spouting in her "right on" manner - AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH ...... Get them OFF the radio. I don't CARE if empty packets of Walkers Crisps make up 4.1% of rubbish ("factoids").
TOTAL CRAP.
Just a PS to my last note - another pet hate - why does SW insist on singing over the last part of tunes on his playlist and who the hell wants to listen to the "old woman" who can scarcely thread a sentence together.
AGGGHHH
Yes! I used to think his show was pretty bannal and pointless. But so is life if you look at it a certain way. I don't see anyone else who could do that magazine format with his energy. Listen to most young DJs & their too busying trying to sound Black/Cool. They don't have the guts to sing badly over records & say 'jasmine burtles' rhyms with 'turtles' unselfconciously. Thats why people "love the show" cos he's one of the few people in the media who isn't obbsessed with how he sounds & he confident enough to take the risk of saying something that might be funny but also might sound a bit naff. Unfortunetly a lot of people who don't like him are concerned with how he looks.
