BBC 'offered Steve Wright his Radio 2 afternoon show back just days before death'
BBC Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright was offered his afternoon slot back just days before he died age 69 at his home in London, according to his close friend Mark Wells
However, on the Behind The Scenes with Colin Edmonds podcast, Mr Wells revealed that Steve was asked about returning to the slot shortly before his death. Reflecting on the situation, Mark added: "Given what's happened since I feel that gives the story of Steve Wright's broadcasting career a wonderful symmetry ....there's a slight poetry to it somehow." We spoke to Steve alongside other presenters about our plans for the new Radio 2 DAB+ extension, which we announced last week, including simulcasting his Sunday Love Songs on the station and agreed to discuss further content ideas in due course.
