This follows on reports from an insider that the show's investor may have discussed canceling the show early.

Steve Wright, who died shortly before his death, was apparently hoping for a revival on the BBC just 18 months after the broadcaster cut his Radio 2 show. On Tuesday, veteran broadcaster Steve, one of the country's most popular voices on the airwaves, died at the age of 69. Simon Margorali told The Mirror how he talked to Steve about his TV plans when the DJ stayed at his hotel just two weeks before his death.

As a traumatic video resurfaces following Steve Wright's death, BBC Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright had left his afternoon slot at the station while feeling "unwanted." The broadcasting veteran's death at the age of 69 sent shockwaves around the world of radio, as tributes poured in for him. Wright departed his Radio 2 afternoon slot in 2022 after it was announced that Radio 1's Scott Mills would replace him. Wright, who wore a purple shirt, red striped tie, and suit jacket, told reporters, it was "great of you to come over" as he left Wogan House on July 1, 2022.

According to MailOnline, Steve Wright was discovered dead in his apartment on Monday morning after ambulances were alerted to a 'incident.' Only after ten o'clock on February 12, emergency services rushed to the actor's home in Marylebone, central London, but he was declared dead at the scene. The coroner's report was not being treated as suspicious, but police say a report was not released about his 'unexpected' death. Before his death at the age of 69, the radio personality hosted BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 for more than four decades.

The radio DJ's family announced yesterday that he died on Monday, aged 69, with 'deep sadness and profound regret.' His last performance was a pre-recorded Valentine's Day special three days ago. In his final sign-off, Wright told listeners: 'I'll be back for more love songs next Sunday, ta-da then.' However, another one of his shows, 'in the can,' but it will not be broadcasting, according to The Mirror. MailOnline has contacted the BBC for clarification. Wright's death was seen by colleagues as'very sudden,' because he was in contact with bosses at the station within the first few days.

After a schedule change last year saw Scott Mills take over his long-served Radio 2 afternoon slot, the veteran radio host said it made her feel sad to see the broadcaster pay tribute to the legendary DJ. It's shabby, hypocritical.' 'They just dumped him,' the former BBC presenter told GB News this morning. New management announced that we're going to refresh the menu, and that people are treated like tins of beans on a shelf.' I don't believe there was any sequel, any pastoral care, or any sympathy for him. Since he has been one of the highest-paid individuals on television, he didn't need money. But, you know, I wonder if they considered how it affected him. There are some people for whom fame and attention are their oxygen'

As they posed for a funny selfie, composer Anthony James snapped the snap (left) of himself next to the beloved BBC Radio 2 host (right and inset). The photograph was taken four weeks ago, when the pair met up in New York, and it is likely that the last picture of Steve before his heartbroken family revealed it on Tuesday. The musician released the images along with an emotional tribute to his 'dear friend Steve', who, he said, had such a passion for Life and Radio'.

Before his death, Steve Wright was supposed to return to BBC Radio 2 as part of a 'pop nostalgia' spin-off station. Last week, Bosses revealed plans to introduce four new radio stations in an attempt to relegate dissatisfied listeners to the BBC, including a new Radio 2 spin-off focusing on the music of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The station would have been the new home of the legendary DJ's Sunday Love Songs show, which had been on the channel since 1996, before his'very sudden' death earlier this week.

During a touching piano rendition of the host's afternoon theme tune, BBC's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg paid a loving tribute to late Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright. The news of Wright's sudden death aged 69 on Monday afternoon stunned family and colleagues alike, as many tried to get to work by live bulletins. Rosenberg celebrated Wright's legendary talent as a DJ on X, formerly Twitter. "He was, quite simply, brilliant...a broadcaster in a class of his own,' He wrote. In the Afternoon theme, I play Steve Wright as a tribute to Steve Wright.'

In some ways, the sad news that Wright has died, aged 69, has an empiricism in some ways. Scott Mills, his replacement on Radio 2, may have similar listening figures, around six-and-a-quarter million. However, he appeals to a younger audience, more in the 35 to 54 age group than in the 55s and over. Since devoting his life to the BBC, it's impossible to escape the conclusion that Steve Wright was sacrificed for a demographic tweak. And to say he 'devoted his life' is no exaggeration. Wright, who was so fixated on radios that his idea of a holiday was to spend a long weekend in a New York hotel room, tuning in to American stations and taking notes about everything he heard. At Paddington station, a pal bumped him in as boarding the Heathrow shuttle. He was supposed to stay in a U.S. hotel room for a few days to listen to local radio stations.' 'I asked where his luggage was and he just waved his passport at me.' "I buy essentials such as a toothbrush, underwear, and socks when I'm there," he said. "I throw them away at the end." He is obsessed with the media, which is why he has remained at the top for so long.'

The surprise has left coworkers and fans of the legendary British broadcaster 'heartbroken' and devastated his millions of followers. In a tweet today, his family expressed deep sadness and profound regret for the loss of our beloved Steve Wright. Steve leaves his brother, Laurence and his father Richard in lieu of his son, Tom, and daughter, Lucy. Also, millions of dedicated radio listeners who had the opportunity and joy of welcoming Steve into their everyday lives as one of the United Kingdom's most popular and well-known radio stars.'
