The BBC

That's what i said, His obviously heartbroken brother said perhaps his lifestyle of not looking after himself might have been the cause of his death rather than these news channels saying it was because the BBC moved him from his show. To me this is BBC Bashing at its lowest.

Indeed.

Using his death for some BBC bashing point scoring is low in and of itself, but Steve Wright clearly loved the Beeb which makes the usual culture war vultures using his death gains them all the more unsavoury.

Anyway, scuttle off back to your 'I wish all the old white men DJs were left in place forever' angry place.

Ok, I'll throw down a glove...

Please name me of one instance when someone that isn't straight, white, male & old has been replaced by someone that is all of those things. And that's not just in radio. I'll be generous and say any area of media.

If you can't, then please give the next best example.
