    Default National News.

    Every area that governs itself has it's own public broadcaster -- except us. Is it not about time that Scotland has it's own public broadcaster and this should be devolved now.

    There's BBC Scotland; TV and radio.

    It's not very good, but I'm sure Holyrood could produce something worse and more expensive.

    Scotland urgently needs a developed and steadfastly NEUTRAL Scottish Broadcasting Company,not one controlled from London which is the case at the moment.

    Nah- get one with a ludicrously pro-Scottish bias.

    Do you remember the old Iron Curtain short wave stations?

    What's wrong with Moray Firth anyway?

    I aint losing the bake off for re runs of take the high road.

    Whats wrong with the internet for media and debate free from agenda and censorship?
    Well apart from the org, its heavily censored with any non Yes man banned if they get a bit too vocal or have a good point.

    Haven't seen anyone stopping a commercial channel being created to cater for this massive demand for Scottishness.


    Seems the SNP supporters have missed one small issue, it's the BBC Briitsh Broadcasting Service. Not the SBC.

    I say if you want Scottish channels let the private sector fill the gap.
