Review into Scots BBC rival
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop today launched a review examining the viability of a Scottish public service broadcaster to compete with the BBC.
The Scottish Government appointed an independent panel to investigate how to set up and fund a new digital network comprising television and internet channels to "address the deficit of public service broadcasting in Scotland".
Ms Hyslop said: "Scottish audiences deserve their own network."
The review comes two years after a Scottish Broadcasting Commission report concluded a digital network would address the deficit of public service broadcasting in Scotland.
