330 million raised in Scotland from Licence fees.

bbc spends 100 million in Scotland .

republic of Ireland buys all BBC channels for 21 Million..

Imagine we didnt send all our cash to London,

we would have the BBC for 21 mill

and have £309 million left to have our own stations...

we could spend 50 ,million on Gaelic and we would still have change....

wow even Sportscene might be good.....

1.1% of Scots speak Gaelic, contributing ~£3m in license fees. £14.2m is spent on BBC Alba and Radio nan Gàidhael.

Interesting fact.

Appears to be an 11.2 million pound defecit. I think there must be loads of similar situations. What do you suggest. I think we should pool and share resources, to continue this excellent service.

Is this troll still posting shiite on here?

Alan you are a bawbag.

Interesting fact....

The %age of gaelic speakers would be much higher if it wasn't for the British establishment's cultural ethnic cleansing. My grandparents, all four of them, spoke gaelic as their first language, learning english in school. My parents had gaelic thrashed out of them. I'm a monoglot. You're a tosser.

I fail to understand a point of view that says that because something is a 'minority', then it automatically must be worthless.

I suspect that the OP's motivation is a fear and visceral hatred of anything which promotes 'Scottishness'.

I would like to see some, any, investment into Scots. I'm all for Gaelic but it's only one of the indigenous languages of Scotland.

A lot of the stuff on BBC Alba is great - and I'm not talking about the football - good documentaries and the coverage of traditional music is excellent.

FE came in very late from the pub.

I'm not knocking the spending but like to see numbers.

In terms of other £ spent from Scotland to bbc remember that goes to shows that are popular here. Eastenders, GBB, The Voice etc. Even MOTD has large viewing, more than Sportscene I'd expect.

Do you not think that level of abuse is a bit over the top?

When Linekar et al are getting paid more from the BBC as to what the BBC pays for the rights of radio and tv broadcasting of Scottish football, do you not think that is in the slightest bit wrong?

How many people in Scotland go to watch Scottish football every year? How many people in Scotland go to watch football in England every year?

Now how much of their licence fee is spent on Scottish football and how much is spent on English football?

Ireland get all these programmes for 21 million, we pay 330 million for them..

You think that Scotland should pay more than 10 times Ireland does for the same shite....

I seriously met someone when canvassing during the referendum who was voting no purely on the reason that they wouldn't get to see Eastenders if Scotland became independent.
