From: simon gray

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
I would like to know the outline costs of the various BBC radio
stations:
Radio 1
Radio 1 Xtra
Radio 2
Radio 3
Radio 4
Radio 5 Live
Radio 5 Sports Extra
BBC 6 Music
BBC 7
BBC Asian Network
I would like the cost information broken down in terms of:
Total 'on air talent' (ie presenters & djs etc) salaries (I do not
need to know individual salaries),
Total production staff (ie producers, broadcast assistants etc)
salaries,
Total rights (ie music broadcast rights, drama first broadcast &
repeat fee rights, etc) costs, &
Total transmission cost (ie, how much it costs for the transmitters
etc to physically pump the broadcast out).
I would like this information separated for each of the stations
listed above.
Additionally, I would like the number of hours per week that each
station is broadcasting for, & the BBC's estimated (or known)
weekly audience figures for each station. If you were able to
calculate the total cost per listener hour for each station for me,
that would be icing on the cake.
Yours faithfully,
simon gray
