The Scottish Broadcasting Commission, which does exist, we checked, has been reviewing broadcast media provision North of the border, and is expected to recommended the launch of a new digital TV channel which would air "distinctively" Scottish programmes.
The Scottish versions of BBC1 and ITV, presumably, are too dominated by programming made South of the border. The new channel would possibly provide for Scotland a service similar to what S4C provides to Wales, though possibly without any obligation to provide programming in either the Scots or Gaelic languages (S4C broadcasts mainly in Welsh).
BBC Scotland Political Editor Brian Taylor told the BBC news website: "It is thought the report will recommend a new digital TV channel offering Scottish content, including perhaps news output which covers international affairs from a Scottish standpoint. Observers say, depending on content and audience demand, such a channel might either foster creativity or form a Caledonian cul-de-sac".
