Broadcaster Steve Wright has announced he will be leaving his afternoon Radio 2 show after 23 years. The 67-year-old announced the news live on air on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Friday.
Steve said: “Let me just break off for a moment to make an announcement. I’ll try not to become emotional or self indulgent, this is going to be a little bit difficult. At the end of September, I’ll be taking a break from daytime radio. In other words, stepping down from this programme.”
He added: “The great news is onwards and upwards. I’m staying at the BBC and radio to to do some very exciting brand new digital projects and developing new podcasts, some of which actually will feature elements of this programme Steve Wright In The Afternoon.
