I think merging with BBC Alba would be better and save BBC4 from moving to channel 82

I think a joint English/Gaelic service is likely to please nobody.

Good point...

The schedule for launch night is out: https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p06kvypx/2019/02/24

I can heartily recommend the film Nae Pasaran, though I suspect most here will be more excited by what's on at 1857.

The Peoples News seems to be a throwback to when news organisations were obsessed with viewer generated content.

You mean just launch night or every night?


Putting launch night on bbc2 isn't a bad idea, like BBC3 was. Though they'd be promoting a service that a lot of the audience won't be able to watch on TV again

If you mean every night, then really it is.... the new channel is BBC2, kind of. It could be an evening opt out of BBC2, like BBC 2W was, but that's very confusing and you guys north of the border wouldn't get BBC2's evening schedule

They should be used to “that’s except for viewers in Scotland” over the years though!

Well yes, although as STV found out a few years ago it's not popular
