They could replay his old shows and probably get more listeners than the present incumbents.

I used to work in a small flooring warehouse from 85 to 90 and we had a radio that played Radio1 all day long. Simon Bates Our Tune & Steve Wright in the afternoon was our working soundtrack every day. RIP and thanks for the memories.

Steve was the best DJ of all time, there is no-one who came close to him... What a complete legend to have made such huge contribution to so many millions of people for decades. For those of us who heard him from his first show on Radio 1, he just blew us away and it just got better and better. RIP Steve

I agree 100%. I listened to Steve from his early 1980's Radio 1 show till he left Radio 1. Put simply he was unique. He was funny but friendly and kind. Everett was Zany but didn't have the same connection with a radio audience which Steve did. God bless you Steve ❤

Radio 1 should have been on FM from the get-go - they played all the latest hits (plus the odd oldies), yet those idiots at the BBC kept it on medium wave for about twenty years, with only the occasional appearance on FM - weeknights at ten, Saturday between 1 and 7:30 pm, Sundays from 5 pm and on Bank Holiday Mondays on the frequency normally occupied by Radio 2!
