Radio Listening Figures

The latest listening figures are out for the last quarter and the main headline is that Chris Evans has lost over a million listeners - and the news mongers are rapt with glee...but he's lost a million of the 1.5 million he gained last quarter and still has more listeners than Terry Wogan (but that's not 'news'!). The rest of the stats from RAJAR, who compile these figures, show that speech radio made big gains in this period and music radio, as a whole, lost out. This is almost certainly because of the General Election and World Cup!

Your Friday questions are:-
  1. Who was born today in 1922 and formed the first budget airline, 'Skytrain', in the 1970's?

  2. Set in the Crimean War, what is the most famous poem by Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson (right) who was born today in 1809?

  3. World Cup Runner-up Robin van Persie was born today in 1983 and currently plays for which Premier League team?
