Well, this is crappy news... In the car, in the workshop, the caf, the site canteen - he was always there - well, at least in the UK (though I kept listening to his show even whilst overseas where possible). He was treated like utter cr@p by the BBC in recent years IMO and they should hang their heads in shame. Loads followed and tried to copy his format but haven't come close....

Yes, I remember "Steve Wright in the afternoon" in the eighties and it was so different to anything else on the radio at that time.
Sad news indeed!
