This will be the first time the two channels have co-commissioned a series. This second series will see some episodes shown exclusively on CBeebies allowing the current audience to enjoy more adventures from Katie Morag McColl while other episodes will be shown on CBBC allowing the series to explore slightly more complex storylines and themes aimed at the CBBC audience. Katie Morag is based on the hugely popular series of books by Mairi Hedderwick which relate the adventures of this feisty red-headed girl who lives with her family on the magical island of Struay. The stories celebrate the intrinsic sense of community, the preciousness of the environment and the universal tensions and joys of family life. Cherry Campbell will return as Katie Morag while the rest of the cast includes Gail Watson (Mrs McColl), Kenneth Harvey (Mr McColl) with Katie Morag’s two grandmas being played by Ann Louise Ross (Grannie Island) and Barbara Rafferty (Granma Mainland). Kay Benbow, Controller of CBeebies said: “I am thrilled that Katie Morag will be returning for series two. The first series performed really well on CBeebies, particularly with the older end of our audience. It’s fantastic to be working so closely with CBBC in commissioning the new series with exclusive episodes for both channels.” Cheryl Taylor, Controller of CBBC said: “I am delighted to bring Katie Morag to CBBC. This is the first time that CBBC and CBeebies have co-commissioned a series and I am really pleased to be working so closely with CBeebies. The exclusive episodes to be shown on CBBC will allow us to develop more multifaceted storylines for the older CBBC audience.” The second series of Katie Morag (12 x 15mins and 1 x 30mins) will be filmed over the summer on the Isle of Lewis using both studio facilities on the island as well as the backdrop of the beautiful Hebridean landscape. Produced by Scottish indie Move on Up, the series will be shown on CBeebies and CBBC in 2015. The Executive Producers are Lindy Cameron for Move On Up and Sara Harkins and Michael Towner for CBeebies. The series has also received support from BBC Scotland and BBC Worldwide. The commission is part of BBC Scotland’s commitment to produce distinctive and reflective Scottish output and complements productions including Shetland (BBC One), Sunset Song, Bob Servant (BBC Four) and new landmark series, Highlands (BBC One). The first series of Katie Morag won the RTS Scotland Children’s Award at the inaugural RTS Scotland awards ceremony last week.

After forty years together, Pete and Roger had a newfound respect for one another. Lorna Gardner / Gary McQueen MONDAY 30 JUNE TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 26 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City DATE & TIME CHANGE Monday 30 June BBC One Scotland HD, 8.30-9.30pm This week in Shieldinch…desperate for attention, Kirsty tells damaging lies about Murray which quickly spiral out of control; Murray finds himself the focus of unwanted police attention and local gossip; and Robbie and Will worry foster son Finn is struggling to settle in. With the redevelopment plans greenlit, Murray plans a wake to mark the closure of the community centre. Stocking up on booze, he invites everyone but Murray’s gathering proves thin on the ground and he ends up drinking alone. Bored hanging about Shieldinch, Kirsty hatches a plan to steal some of Murray’s wine to impress Finn. At the Community Centre, Kirsty hides a bottle of wine in her jacket before helping herself to a glass. Believing there’s no harm in having a small tipple, Murray allows Kirsty to have a drink, little realising the repercussions which await. Later, when Raymond arrives at the Community Centre to talk to Murray about his future, he’s uneasy with what he sees. When Kirsty meets Finn to show off the stolen wine, he hints Murray gave it to her in return for sexual favours – a lie which Kirsty fails to correct. And when Alan returns home to find Kirsty and Finn drinking he sees red, throwing Finn out. Desperate to avoid being grounded by her father, Kirsty weaves a web of lies about Murray which leads to police action, unleashes Alan’s fury and casts a shadow of shame over Murray. Elsewhere, Robbie frets about Finn, sharing his worries with Will about whether their foster son will need to give evidence if Murray is charged. Kirsty is played by Bobby Rainsbury, Murray by Brian Cowan, Robbie by Gary Lamont, Will by Scott Vickers, Finn by Sonny Green, Raymond by Paul Samson and Alan by Stephen McCole. Julie Whiteside _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Trusadh - Wha's Like Us / Fein-aithne na h-Alba NEW Monday 30 June BBC ALBA, 9.00 – 10.00pm This September marks an historic date in the Scottish constitutional calendar. For the first time in 300 years the Scottish people will decide their country's destiny in a referendum on independence. Amidst the many questions posed at this time, perhaps one of the most significant is that of identity. Trusadh - Wha's Like Us takes a sample of the nation's identity pulse in 2014 before the big vote. We meet people on the identity spectrum ranging from patriotically Scottish, to almost 100% British, and those who consider themselves as much European as anything else. Trusadh meets musicians, linguists, journalists, historians, professors and business people to get a flavour of the sheer complexity of the modern Scottish identity, and how it has ebbed and flowed over time. The programme also discovers the historical, political and cultural forces that have helped forge the modern Scottish Identity into what it is today. Trusadh - Wha's Like Us. Lorna Gardner / Gary McQueen FRIDAY 4 JULY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 26 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I Belong To Glasgow, Ep2/4 TV HIGHLIGHT Friday 4 July BBC One Scotland, 10.35pm – 11.05pm In the second episode of I Belong To Glasgow, actor Alex Norton talks about his relationship with the city, as the place that he left to get work but the place he will always return to. Alex travels back to childhood homes, all of which are no longer there, due to the changing face and demolition of buildings in Glasgow – and goes back to his first dramatic club which set him on the road to an acting career. Along with this, Alex visits the Citizens Theatre where he spent a lot of his younger days to find out how the community theatre group is opening up new skills by boosting confidence in local people. Also this week, Alex looks at his hero Lex McLean, and meets Bob Bain, who is helping to keep Lex’s memory alive - and Alex even gets to try on Lex’s bunnet. Other topics Alex covers include looking at the huge folk scene in Glasgow and the decision he made to set aside his musical ambition to become an actor. He looks at the anti-American protest songs that emerged but also the great love of American country and western songs that the Grand Ole Opry on Govan Road celebrates to this day.

  • MG ALBA Response to 'Provisional Determination', P2-3
    Reply to Consultation on Ofcom’s provisional determination on the proposed new BBC Scotland channel We are grateful for the opportunity to respond to the consultation on Ofcom’s provisional determination. Key Points BBC ALBA is a minority language channel, broadcasting in standard definition across the UK on an annual content budget of £16.4m1. In addition to being a channel that competes on merit to attract the viewership of over 10% of adults in Scotland each week, it creates value for speakers and learners of Gaelic and plays a major role in the fulfilment of public policy objectives for Gaelic, culture and economy. The new BBC Scotland channel will undoubtedly have an impact on BBC ALBA. It will target broadly the same viewers as BBC ALBA with a content budget double that of BBC ALBA and, as announced recently by the BBC, with carriage in High Definition (HD). This is not a level playing field. We have three principal concerns: 1. The research and the conclusions drawn from it, insofar as they relate to BBC ALBA, are hedged around by uncertainty; 2. The approach taken to public value, insofar as it relates to BBC ALBA, appears not to give weight to the citizenship, public policy and language aspects of Gaelic broadcasting; and 3. There appears to be an assumption that it will be the responsibility of the Scottish Government to provide additional funding to BBC ALBA should the new BBC Scotland channel cause cost inflation. MG ALBA does not stand in the way of the new channel. However, we ask Ofcom to ensure that conditions, and related monitoring arrangements, are put in place to ensure that the new BBC Scotland will not cause detriment to Gaelic language television broadcasting or, if it does, that the BBC will undertake to make good that detriment.

BBC HD has been excluded from much of the analysis in the report as much of its output is simulcast from the core BBC channels and therefore would represent a disproportionate amount of broadcast hours and spend.

  • Broadcasting Sector Report
    Broadcasting Sector Report 1. This is a report for the House of Commons Committee on Exiting the European Union following the motion passed at the Opposition Day debate on 1 November, which called on the Government to provide the Committee with impact assessments arising from the sectoral analysis it has conducted with regards to the list of 58 sectors referred to in the answer of 26 June 2017 to Question 239. 2. As the Government has already made clear, it is not the case that 58 sectoral impact assessments exist. The Government’s sectoral analysis is a wide mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis contained in a range of documents developed at different times since the referendum. This report brings together information about the sector in a way that is accessible and informative. Some reports aggregate some sectors in order to either avoid repetition of information or because of the strong interlinkages between some of these sectors. 3. This report covers: a description of the sector, the current EU regulatory regime, existing frameworks for how trade is facilitated between countries in this sector, and sector views. It does not contain commercially-, market- or negotiation-sensitive information. Description of sector Scope 4. The broadcasting sector covers the production of audiovisual or audio (radio) content and its distribution, which is subject to the framework of regulation overseen by Ofcom (or, for TV stations based elsewhere in the European Economic Area (EEA), by another EEA regulator). 5. This report primarily covers linear (or live) visual broadcasting services (digital TV, live streaming, webcasting, near video-on-demand) and non-linear services (video on demand services such as the BBC iPlayer, All4, etc, or subscription video on demand services such as Netflix).

  • Running Head: SPORTS COVERAGE on BBC ALBA 1 Sports Coverage
    Running head: SPORTS COVERAGE ON BBC ALBA 1 Sports Coverage on BBC ALBA: Content, Value and Position in the Scottish Broadcasting Landscape Xavier Ramon Vegas and Richard Haynes Published Online First: Communication and Sport 29 January 2018 Abstract Through a mixed-method approach, we examine the sports programming offered by BBC ALBA between 2008 and 2016 and identify the value that the channel creates in Scotland through its diverse sports portfolio. In an increasingly cluttered and complex scenario where pay TV giants Sky and BT hold a plethora of top-tier rights and BBC Scotland and STV cannot fit more sport into their schedules, BBC ALBA serves Gaelic-speaking and national audiences with a regular diet of quality sports programming. Beyond being instrumental to filling schedules, sports content has been a gateway for Gaelic, a key driver of BBC ALBA’s investment in the creative sector and a contributor to the development of grassroots sport in Scotland. However, the financial situation under which the channel operates makes it very difficult to sustain and improve its current position. This case study demonstrates that sport broadcasting offers genuine opportunities to maintain linguistic and cultural diversity in small nations, even in a context characterized by escalating competition, dwindling resources and the proliferation of multiple viewing portals.

There may be differences between this version and the published version.

Every night, before she goes to sleep, she shines a torch from her bedroom window across the moonlit bay. From out of the darkness a small light twinkles in response, as one of Katie’s grandmothers, ‘Grannie Island’, shines a light back to the young girl. Adapted from the books by Mairi Hedderwick (first published in 1984), Katie Morag (2013– ) is a recent success for CBeebies, the digital preschool channel of the BBC. This oft-repeated, flickering night-time communication, reflecting the special bond between child and grandmother, is central to our discussion of the alliance between the ‘old’ and the ‘young’ that opens our investigation of television and care. Katie Morag is symptomatic of a cluster of programmes that bring older people, often through familial connections, into the young child’s world. In addition, and also set within seaside communities, there are the adventures of a magically shrinking grandfather, played by James Bolam, in Grandpa in My Pocket (CBeebies, 2009– ) and the tales of a retired fisherman in Old Jack’s Boat (CBeebies, 2013), in which ‘Jack’ is played by Bernard Cribbins.1 The children’s documentary series My Story (CBeebies, 2012– ) and My Life (CBBC, 2012– ) have also emphasized intergenerational relationships through family histories and contemporary realities.
