Danny Wright (radio personality)

Danny Wright is a

Seattle, Washington-based radio personality

The majority of his career and success was in the

Top-40 disc jockey known as "Dancin' Danny Wright." He departed WGCL when the station was sold by GCC Communications to Detroit, Michigan's Metropolis Broadcasting. New management was brought in and the station itself became WNCX, with a rock/CHR

hybrid format. While all of WGCL's personalities were let go, Wright's contract kept him from being bought out, so—due to his incompatibility with the new format—he was relegated to simply engineering the overnight shift for his remaining few weeks, with then-owner Harvey Deutsch referring to him as the "World's Highest Paid Board-Op."

During this period, Wright quietly had studied for a real estate license, and attained it after he left WNCX. He was soon hired by WRQC, but abruptly announced his "retirement" several months later to pursue a career in real estate. His "retirement" was short-lived, however, as he took the afternoon-drive slot on news/talk station WWWE from 1988 to 1989.

In the early 1990s, Wright moved to

Clear Channel

's mass budget layoff in November 2001.

From that time until December 2008, Wright hosted the

Dial Global

.

On October 7, 2009, Envision Radio Networks officially announced a new syndicated weekend show called "The Live Ride with Danny Wright". The show is a two-hour weekly “concert” to country radio featuring live performances from today's brightest stars.^[1]
