Wrist firmly slapped, now corrected!
It does not impact the thrust of the argument one iota though!

Can we get this on to a mathematically sound basis please?Sorry - pet hate - but let's be accurate with numbers."Eleven times better" is the same as "Twelve times as good" - so why not use the "better" number?If you don't follow this - work out what "One time better" would be - it has to be "Twice as good" - and then follow the sequence.Use numbers wrongly and you mis-inform.

It’s a deliberately provocative title – “Is Radio 1 Eleven Times Better than Commercial Radio?”
  That is to say, does it deserve to be able to use 11 times more FM 
spectrum resource per listener than Commercial radio?  We could equally 
have asked:-“Is Radio Cymru fourteen hundred times better than Community radio?”  or“Is BBC Radio 3 three times better than Classic FM?”These
 questions stem from an analysis we have done of the way our FM radio 
spectrum is consumed in the UK.  All things being equal, then 
approximately the same amount of this precious resource called 
“spectrum” should be consumed for each listener.  But as we will see, 
things are far from equal.More here from Glyn Roylance:
