Queen Margaret College, which Broadcasting House was built around, is almost certainly listed - it was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. And apparently parts of it (the medical school, no less) are haunted. Late night continuity shifts on BBC 2 require a certain amount of nerves, I'm told.
Studio 1 is possibly listed too - that's the large radio studio that's bit enough for an orchestra. (It can be seen here)
As for a future use for BH? Housing, I'd imagine. It's pretty expensive in the West End of Glasgow at the moment, but, ironically, that's largely due to the BBC...
Looking at the photograph the building looks very old and "grand"! I would imagine like in any other city - prime housing will be built on the site and the listed building will be converted in expensive flats. Thats what is about to happen at Queens Cross!!

Queen Margaret Drive is a big site - and the old part is probably a listed building - I wonder what will happen to it after the BBC leave?
