Stephen Richard "Steve" Wright (born 26 August 1954 in Greenwich, London) is an English broadcaster, widely credited for creating the zoo format, with its zany, multi-personality approach. He currently presents 'Steve Wright in the Afternoon' and 'Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs' on BBC Radio 2 , one of the BBC's national radio stations and the most popular station in the United Kingdom. On BBC Television Wright has hosted Home Truths, The Steve Wright People Show, Auntie's TV Favourites, Top Of The Pops and TOTP2. Wright has won awards, including Best DJ of the Year as voted by readers of The Sun, the Daily Mirror Readers Poll and by Smash Hits in 1994. In 1998, he was awarded TRIC Personality of the Year for his radio programmes.

His childhood ambition was to work in the entertainment business. Born in Greenwich, South London, the elder of two boys in a working-class family, Wright was raised in New Cross. His father, Richard Wright, was a tailor and the manager of the Burton's store in Trafalgar Square. Wright was a quiet child, and never very scholarly. He was educated at Eastwood High School, near Southend-on-Sea, Essex. In the early 1970s he worked behind the scenes at Radio 2, as a Gramophone Librarian. He started broadcasting in 1976 at Thames Valley Radio Radio 210 in Reading, Berkshire alongside Mike Read. In 1979 Wright got his big break at Radio Luxembourg, where he presented his own nightly show before joining BBC Radio 1 in 1980, presenting a Saturday evening show, then Saturday morning before famously moving to daytime with Steve Wright in the Afternoon in 1981 which revolutionised radio by introducing the zoo format to the UK.
