Scotland seeks digital channel
September 9, 2008
Scotland should get its own digital television channel and more money to address a significant imbalance in its share of national broadcasting, an independent inquiry The Scottish Broadcasting Commission suggests that UK broadcasters are failing to properly serve their audiences in Scotland or spend a fair proportion of their budgets on Scottish programmes – a deficit the industry’s regulators and successive governments have also failed to correct.
