<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">Glyn,<br>
<br>
Since the number of listeners to a radio service can vary from
something like 1% to 50% in a given service area, stats based on
reach results can easily make a particular service look poor value
for money. Another important factor is the division of the FM
band into sub bands for National, Local, BBC, ILR. So there are
fewer constraints on the use of "out of area" transmission sites.<br>
<br>
The height data is usually taken to be height above average
terrain, not above ground or sea level. Antenna power is combined
with this and consequently a fair comparison needs to look at
both.<br>

<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s a deliberately provocative
title – “<em>Is Radio 1 Eleven Times Better than Commercial
Radio?</em>” 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:-</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>“<em>Is Radio Cymru fourteen hundred times better than
Community radio?</em>” or</li>
<li><em>“Is BBC Radio 3 three times better than Classic FM?”</em></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">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.</p>
