Since our TV is rarely on (North Tonight/Reporting Scotland/Channel 4 News occasionally), I doubt this will make much difference to me, but the hour-long 9pm factual slot MUST be kept free of political interference. You know the dangers.

Fat chance there with the scottish looney left, just look at the posters on here. The BBC are commies anyway. I think you are being naive chuck.

Fat chance there of any decent investigative journalists unmasking the bad men like my Uncles who hurt me. just look at the posters on here. They say I smell funny. I think you are being naive chuck.

It will be more like BBC Glasgow than BBC Scotland

Without a doubt.

Weekly episodes of Only An Excuse will undoubtedly be commissioned shortly.

On a Radio 'Scotland' snippet I heard yesterday, there were calls asking for more coverage of issues of a local nature outside the Central Belt.
