I really don't know in which BBC News thread to put this in, but I'll go for this one.
If the SNP were to gain independence, and they effectively scrap BBC Scotland and create the proposed Scottish Broadcasting Service in partnership with the BBC, would we be able to therefore 'legally' be able to get BBC World News on the current platforms as hypothetically we wouldn't be in the United Kingdom as such?

One would assume so - although, as I understand it, it's not illegal to get World News in the UK. The channel is not marketed in Britain - but there's nothing illegal about tuning into it.

Yeah I know it's not illegal to receive World News in the UK, what I meant actually meant was, would we actually be able to receive it on say Sky or Virgin for example instead of having to view it through another satellite at 19.2 for example.

Oh, I see. I dunno. Do Sky make it available in the Republic of Ireland?

Well looking at us Irish as an example Sky don't carry BBC World News and there is no frequency for it to be added to 'Other Channels' There is a frequency for the BBC News Channel and indeed all other BBC UK TV and radio channels.
The other main Pay TV service here is UPC and I believe that they carry both BBC News and BBC World News.

You're so right. It's something that cannot be taken for granted after years of WS at Bush House - the World Service staff really are such an asset to BBC News. I have to single out Nomsa Maseko as an absolute gem of the coverage tonight. Frank, eloquent and extremely unique in her take on the news.
I'll be interested to see how Breakfast in Salford covers it tomorrow.
We're really seeing the benefits of all of BBC News being in one building and able to bring resources together tonight.
