Sorry if I ask but I don't understand why this would give the BBC cover should they ever review the BBC Scotland channel?
Perhaps they might spin it to say that the BBC Scotland budget is now still there but they are showing the programmes on more popular channels.
In the next year or two, they could quietly end that spending, put it all into BBC3, and strongly promote Scottish programmes on the channel in the hope noone will notice the missing money.
That is the conspiracy theorist in me.
This is no conspiracy theory mate! Your theory is exactly spot on! In fact almost half of the programmes on the Scotland channel can easily fit on BBC Three!
At risk of wild speculating I couldn't help noting.
I dare say this might help give them cover should they ever review the political hornet's nest that is BBC Scotland (channel).
