EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Background The Trust is the governing body of the BBC. Its role is to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers. One of the key ways in which it ensures that the BBC is delivering its public purposes is by carrying out a rolling programme of reviews of the BBC services. As part of these reviews the Trust conducts a public consultation in order to understand the views of licence fee payers. The Trust’s latest service licence review looked at BBC’s national radio stations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, including BBC Radio Scotland. 1.2 Consultation The consultation ran from 11 October 2010 to 12 January 2011. Licence fee payers were able to take part in the consultation via an online form or by completing a hard copy response. 630 people responded to the consultation. These responses were analysed by Public Knowledge, an independent research company, on behalf of the BBC Trust. 1.3 Key Issues from the consultation There were a number of key issues raised by respondents, it should be noted that these are the views of those who took part in the consultation and should not be considered representative of all listeners. Support for Radio Scotland Many respondents very much enjoy the service and are grateful for the coverage and content it provides. They rate the news highly and sports fans are very appreciative of the coverage of Scottish football. Scottish culture is thought to be well presented and respondents enjoy the opportunities to contribute to the station. Impartiality Although many respondents value the news from Radio Scotland, some of those who responded to the consultation claim that the station is not impartial in some areas. They state that there seems to be an anti-SNP attitude, and 3 BBC Trust Review of Nations Radio – Radio Scotland February 2011 © Public Knowledge therefore a lack of support for the Scottish government, and that the news coverage is perceived as biased towards Labour. Reflecting all Scotland Whilst the station is seen by many to reflect Scottish life well both in programming and on-air talent, a number of respondents feel that the station is too focussed on the ‘central belt’ and Glasgow. This is mentioned with reference to topics under discussion, voices on air, and sport coverage. Coverage of local culture Whilst many respondents feel that Scottish culture is well represented, in particular through the range of music played on the station, some feel Radio Scotland could do more to show the full extent of Scotland’s cultural diversity. In particular respondents suggest there could be more traditional Scottish music, and more Scottish drama. Some respondents believe local events should also be featured more strongly. Reception Respondents comment on problems with reception, particularly those who listen or would like to listen via DAB. There are also comments about poor Medium Wave or FM coverage. Sports Coverage Whilst there is a wide appreciation for the sport which is broadcast on Radio Scotland, both in terms of quality and range, some respondent raise issues including a perceived over-emphasis on football in particular the ‘old firm’ teams, and calls for more coverage of minority sports, in particular those of interest to Scotland such as shinty. 4 BBC Trust Review of Nations Radio – Radio Scotland February 2011 © Public Knowledge 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 About the review The BBC Trust is the independent governing body of the BBC representing the interests of licence fee payers. The Trust’s role is to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers and to secure effective promotion of its public purposes. The Trust is required to represent the interests of licence fee payers, assess their views carefully and appropriately, and have regard to the competitive impact of the BBC’s activities on the wider market. It must also ensure that the BBC observes high standards of openness and transparency. Each of the BBC services has a ‘service licence’ which details the remit for that service, outlining the overall format and particular characteristics the output of the service should embrace. The licence also indicates how the specific service should contribute to the overall delivery of the BBC’s public purposes. The BBC Trust is committed to reviewing each BBC service at least once during a five year cycle. This report will be considered as part of the review of the BBC’s Nation’s Radio services in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This report covers responses to the consultation on Radio Scotland. The Trust has issued a service licence for BBC Radio Scotland which sets out what the station is expected to achieve. It is intended to be a speech-led service for adults which broadcasts a wide range of programmes reflecting the issues, events, culture and interests of the people of Scotland. In addition to local and national concerns, programmes should also address matters of UK and international significance from a Scottish perspective. Radio Scotland should provide programmes which are high quality, original, challenging, innovative and engaging. 5 BBC Trust Review of Nations Radio – Radio Scotland February 2011 © Public Knowledge 2.2 About the Public Consultation As part of any review, the Trust considers a range of different types of evidence including asking licence fee payers to respond to a number of specific questions about the services through an open public consultation. This consultation was open from 11 October 2010 to 12 January 2011. Respondents were able to reply to 10 questions either on the BBC Trust’s website or via hard copy leaflets. A total of 611 online responses and 19 hard copy responses were received. The BBC Trust has considered a range of evidence, including the views summarised in this report, and will publish its conclusions on the Trust website (www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust). The responses to the public consultation were analysed by Public Knowledge, an independent research company, on behalf of the BBC Trust. This report summarises both the key themes expressed by the public and responses to the 10 consultation questions. This report covers replies from individuals only - responses from stakeholders and organisations can be found separately on the BBC Trust website. 6 BBC Trust Review of Nations Radio – Radio Scotland February 2011 © Public Knowledge 3. SUMMARY OF KEY THEMES There were a number of key themes raised by respondents. It should be noted that these are the views of those who took part in the consultation and should not be considered representative of all listeners. Many respondents very much enjoy the service and appreciate the mix of programming. They also appreciate that it offers a purely Scottish service and value it highly. Scottish football is particularly mentioned as being well- supported and listeners enjoy the facility to listen to local matches. Respondents also mention that they value the Scottish culture, music and arts on the station. Many also recognise that there are some strong documentaries and current affairs giving the listener the opportunity to learn from the station. Radio Scotland is by far one of the most important and valued services offered in Scotland, with regular travel reports being of particular value. –Male 16 to 24 It's the main radio station that I listen to, for a good mix of programmes as well as excellent news coverage. – Female 35 to 44 Musically i think radio Scotland does pretty well, partly because there is availability for audience participation. many presenters have a more eclectic taste than the likes of radio 1. it is refreshing to hear such variety on one station - Male 35-44 The following areas are highlighted by the respondents as important, or where there is room for improvement. News and Current Affairs Programming Many respondents give positive comments on Radio Scotland’s news and current affairs programming, in particular citing its range of coverage both domestically and internationally. it gives a good picture of what is happening in Scotland and worldwide.

Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Steve Carson, Gary Smith and Louise Thornton. Q1 Chair: Welcome to the Scottish Affairs Committee for this one-off session with BBC Scotland, in which we will explore some of the pressing issues which are engaging us just now. Before we get started with the questions, I will let our colleagues introduce themselves. Mr Carson, please tell us anything by way of a short introductory statement, and please introduce your colleagues while you’re there. Steve Carson: Good morning Chair and members of the Committee. BBC Scotland last appeared at the Scottish Affairs Committee in December 2018, a few months before the launch of our BBC Scotland channel. Since then, I am delighted to say that that service has become the most- watched digital channel in Scotland, with a higher reach and higher share than some long-established household names. Over the past year and a half, the landscape has been dominated by covid and, like all other industries in Scotland, public broadcasting has adapted and changed its speed to meet the needs of our audiences during this time.

With record audiences and more ways to listen than ever before, the impact of the industry should not be underestimated. While the challenges facing the sector have changed over the years, the steadfast commitment of stations to provide public value content every day remains. This new report, the first of its kind produced by the APPG, showcases the rich public value content that commercial radio provides to listeners for free. Valuing Radio explores the impact made by stations up and down the country, over and above the music and entertainment output that audiences expect. It looks particularly at radio’s role in providing news and information, the sector’s significant support for both charitable fundraising and education, in addition to work to improve diversity within the industry. Alongside this important public value content is a significant economic contribution to local economies across the UK. For the first time we have analysis on the impact of local advertising and the return on investment (ROI) that this generates for particular nations and regions of the UK.

  • Communications Market Report: Scotland
    ul Communications Market Report: Scotland Research Document Publication date: 19 August 2010 Introduction This is Ofcom’s fifth annual review of communications markets in Scotland. The report offers a detailed overview of communications services across the nation. It provides a comparison of their take-up and use within different parts of Scotland, and compares this with other UK nations. Nearly eight in ten people (79%) claimed to have a mobile handset in Q1 2010, ten percentage points lower than the UK-wide average. A 2G mobile signal covers 87% of people in Scotland relative to the UK figure of 97%. Higher-speed 3G mobile, which is available to 87% of the UK population, covers 66% of the Scottish population. With mobile signals focusing on densely populated regions of Scotland, and influenced by topography, geographic coverage tends to be lower in Scotland (64% for 2G and 41% for 3G) than elsewhere in the UK (91% 2G and 76% 3G). Sixty-one per cent claim to have broadband in Scotland, still below the UK average (71%), with the gap widening by two percentage points over the last twelve months. Cable broadband is available to 37% of the population (versus 48% of the UK as a whole), while most fixed exchanges in Scotland now support broadband. But the actual speeds experienced by consumers depend on a variety of factors. These include the length of the line from the exchange to a customer’s premises, and the number of people connected to a single exchange who are logged on to the internet concurrently. As competition between communications providers intensifies, a growing proportion of homes are taking services in bundles of two or more.
