By what benchmark are you measuring? What is your experience in the sector that makes you qualified to make such a sweeping generalisation?

Okay. Which jobs, specifically, are "not needed" and why?

Cost savings my left foot, the BBC radio operation has more staff than it ever needed compared to a private radio operation on the open market...

Really? I assume you really do have no clue as to how these things work?
Here's one for you then. Most "private radio operations" will pay one person to voice-track (ie basically pre-record) their week'-worth of shows and therefore can pay them less than they would to do all the shows in 'real time'; and that's just the one person who, if they
did do their programmes "live" would be the only person in the studio; barring a possible Producer.
Compare and contrast that with BBC Radio 1 where (as far as I know) most shows are broadcast LIVE; certainly the daytime ones. And Radio 4? Well they're mostly talk, so they will have some people in the studio, a producer and at least one or two "technical" folk to control everything rather than being "self-op" like Radio 1 or any commercial station.

Subjective. You might think that. Others might not.

No. As I explained, it's usually the other way round.
