In our case at least 16/48 is a a legacy from DAT--our old radio 
producer and the audio engineer we worked with for radio both favored 
recording on DAT at 48kHz.  I guess I also just feel better gathering 
some extra data at the source too.

Our listening/backup CDs for use in-house are CD-ROM discs (I don't make
CD-DA's for in-house listening), so there's no need to downsample.
Although I have to qualify that by saying we do make CD-DA discs for
interviewee copies and those, of course, I do have to downsample.
