Why is "BBC Alba" being asked for a citation exactly? The BBC graphics and programming intros display "BBC Alba" when Gaelic programming is on. It's just simple fact. There is no citation, bar going to such lengths to show TV screen grabs of this happening. --Revolt (talk) 14:42, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to draw editor's attentions to the

When (and where) was BBC Scotland first established, as a distinct organisation? Google and Google books have turned up nothing so far. I have a vague memory that it was the early/mid 1960s. Does anyone have the exact info? --Mais oui! (talk) 04:08, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In 1968 Alasdair Milne, Controller of what had hitherto been known as the Scottish Region of the BBC, "rebranded" his area of responsibility as BBC Scotland.

I wouldn't say, though, that BBC Scotland has ever been "established as a distinct organisation": it is currently part of the BBC's Nations and Regions operational area, but is not organisationally distinct from the Corporation as a whole.

Incidentally, the "launch date" currently given in the article's infobox is rather misleading. 14 March 1952 is the date of the first television broadcast from the

Kirk o'Shotts transmitting station: not the same thing as the launch of BBC Scotland (a name which, as I say, dates from 1968 – while its earliest roots date back to the opening on 6 March 1923 of the British Broadcasting Company's 5SC radio station in Glasgow). -- Picapica (talk) 16:07, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply

Have now amended the "launch date" to 1 January 1968, as this was the date on which the new Regional Controller, Alasdair Milne, is reported to have taken the decision to rebrand the corporation's Scottish activities as "BBC Scotland"; however, I've yet to discover a reference to a more specific "launch" date -- if there ever was one. -- Picapica (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

as the Radio 1 "opt-out" (on FM only) was withdrawn with effect from June 2012. Might be worth retaining a reference to some of the above, from a historical point of view. However, AFAIK there are no longer any regional variations from the programming of the BBC's UK-wide FM radio channels: Radios 1–4. -- Picapica (talk) 15:07, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
