Jonathan Ross tops radio poll

Jonathan Ross has been named the most important person in British radio in a Radio Times poll of seventy radio figures, ahead of Terry Wogan and John Humphreys.

Meant to report on this yesterday but forgot - ah well, better late than never. Jonathan Ross has been named the most important person in British radio thanks to the continued success of his Radio 2 weekend show. He tops a poll of the most important seventy radio bods published by the Radio Times this week.

Ross is closely followed by fellow BBC names Terry Wogan and John Humphreys in the poll, with Xfm's Christian O'Connell coming fourth place, making him the highest rating commercial radio DJ in the poll (quite a coup for Xfm given that they are a minority audience regional station, and also for Virgin Radio who have nabbed him for their breakfast show of course).

The Beeb dominated much of the top ten, with Radio 1's Chris Moyles and Zane Lowe, Radio 4's PM presenter Eddie Mair and Radio 5's drive presenter Peter Allen also getting listed.
