It's all about Greatest Hits Radio anyway.
They already have Simon Mayo on Drivetime with confessions. Bet you that Wright will be heading over there soon.
Much better anyway. It's all the same music, but the originals rather than the remixes of today. |  | | |

Whilst Mills is desperately, desperately bland, Wright is plain awful.Retreading the same schtick he was running with in the 80s. That wasn't funny then, either. |  |

Scott Mills was the deciding factor for me giving up on R1. But to be fair to the fella he was covering for Ken Bruce a bit back and he was surprisingly tolerable - I preferred him to Bruce.
An extra hour of Sarah Cox and Scott Mills is a hard sell though. Not that I’m that bothered, I don’t normally listen. |  |

Mills has been around for as long as I can remember.
Mind you, so has Wright.
How old are these people for goodness' sake?
Is there a lack of people wanting to go into the business or are there so many stations/channels now that the pool is ridiculously watered down leaving only the same few wanting to work at these mainstream positions? |  |

You’ve made me Google now.
Steve Wright is 67! I didn’t realise that, but it makes sense. He was making waves on R1 in the early 90s.
Scott Mills 49. So I suppose he’s the right age to move across to R2.
This is making me feel old  | |

Scott Mills is only 49?
I thought he must be 70.
He always seemed inoffensive to me, and for a number of years appeared to be the 'go-to' back-up when someone like the usual headliners were off air for whatever reasons: holidays, illness...
Solid, reliable, even if unspectacular. | |

I've just had 6 weeks spending 12 hours a day in a work vehicle that could literally only offer Radio 2 in terms of entertainment. In the hours when I didn't drive in silence I heard a fair bit of Steve Wright, and yes, you're right, he's presenting the same show he did in about 1983, just with different songs.
In fact you could probably play a recording of one of his R1 shows and edit in newer songs and nobody would notice. Maybe they have? Maybe he doesn't really work any more? |  |

With the biggest problem being he's not even aiming it at a new audience as it's the same people who have grown too old for Radio 1 who have moved over to Radio 2 hoping for/anticipating something different.
It's all just shifted together as a package. | |

You're absolutely right, I was amazed a couple of weeks ago to hear the Ooooh Gary Davis jingle, followed by, Gary fecking Davis. | |

Scott mills isn’t great, but Steve Wright is truly awful, it’s embarrassing how bad he is. |  | | |

I’m a bit surprised by how many people on here say he’s bad. He’s far better than Mills and fits that drive time slot well imo. All down to personal taste I suppose, but for me more of Sarah Cox plus Mills is a definite downgrade. | |

I used to like his show in the mid eighties but he gets right on my tits these days when he continually sings over the top of songs he is playing.
Scott Mills is pretty bland though. |  |

Although I don’t think He’d get away with ‘Gervais the hairdresser’ these days. | |
