BBC Scotland channel - service to also launch in HD

Oops, very true.

I gather from reading between the lines of the BBC commissioning site that CMTX is a bit like the media hubs in English regions? I'd be interested in some more detail of how BBC Alba is played out from there.

I seem to recall posts from Tony Currie during the Election broadcast talking about Alba's coverage - would they use the spare pres suite for non standard occasions like that?

Sorry if it's already been mentioned but is BBC Scotland available to view via Sky in England? I presume it's a case of manual tuning? If anyone could be so kind to provide the details please.

Sky channels 457 and 876.

No, CMTX is in all respects a fully operational pres suite and is now manned by an Announcer-Director, although all the continuity is pre-recorded. Much of the Alba output is live and requires manual intervention - football, shinty, the Mod for example.

Thank you!

No Football Focus and Nigellissima tomorrow because BBC One Scotland opting out for Lib Dem conference.

Raging! 😆

It would have made more sense doing this all last week when Holyrood was on its Holidays

When BBC Scotland is off the air: "This is BBC Scotland" plays until it comes on air on Sunday 22nd February 2019.

Uh, the 22nd was Friday.

Has half term finished yet?...

Didn’t realise BBC Scotland was going to be available to the whole country. I’m in the BBC south region and on my virgin media guide on channel 162 is BBC Scotland HD. Nice to see it added
