Personally I don't class SW alongside sniggering Chris Evans and the like. To me, SW is genuinely witty, funny and self depreciating, unlike a lot of the newer 'R1 type' DJs that like nothing more than to laugh at someone else's bad luck. Like it or not (and I get that a lot don't) Steve Wright changed the face of radio presenting from being a person that named the next record to being the host of a 'show'. Tony Blackburn was kinda halfway there with his tales and witticisms but SW took it to another level. I like Tony too.
