> BBC Radio 1 pays around £40/minute in royalties (around 10,000 times more than Spotify)

This assumes BBC Radio 1 has only one listener, which is probably underestimating the popularity of radio, even today.

You are right, they are not comparable; I have removed the comparison to the Spotify rate from the parent comment to avoid distracting from the precedent (which was the aspect I found most interesting).
