I believe of its £3 billion budget the BBC spends around £2.2 billion on programme making. Scotland gets about 3% of that for core Scottish programming ie. programmes for a Scottish audience.
Not a great deal really.
Further BBC hand-outs to Scotland allow us to use a Scottish camera crew to film such things as Question Time which spends much of its time having a go at the subsidised Scots from all over the UK, with rare appearances in Scotland.
The BBC is a disgrace.
]]>Prof Bartlett one weak spot.
]]>Don’t watch it.
What has happened to the text news headlines on Alba. The only on going Scottish News channel.
Even less viewers, Pathetic.
]]>Are we REALLY to believe that the BBC would annex us totally bearing in mind that their main production facilities are at Pacific Quay in Glasgow???
(Media City in Salford only deals with Sport / Kids TV and they no longer have BBC TV Centre to work with and it would cost far too much to relocate everything to their facilities at Elstree…)
Unless they REALLY cut their nose off and have to go cap-in-hand and pay through the nose to use ITV’s studios – aka LWT in London???
