Danny Wright

Danny Wright is a Seattle, Washington-based radio personality, and current host of "Danny Wright All Night" on the Jones Radio Networks (now a part of Triton Media Group's Dial Global division).

The majority of his career and success was in the Cleveland, Ohio market, most notably at WGCL, where he was a 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 he was relegated to the overnight shift for his remaining month, 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 90's, Wright moved to Akron-based Top 40 outlet WKDD for the evening timeslot. He later moved to WQMX, which was at that time another Akron Top 40 station ("Mix 94.9"). When WQMX changed format to country music in the mid-90s, Wright successfully modified his on-air approach for the format. He soon moved to Cleveland country powerhouse WGAR-FM, where he enjoyed the highest ratings of his career. Wright stayed at WGAR until being downsized in owner Clear Channel's mass budget layoff in November 2001.

Wright currently hosts "Danny Wright All Night", which is nationally syndicated to country stations nationwide.
