Questions 1-72 Witnesses I: Steve Carson, Director, BBC Scotland, Gary Smith, Head of News and Current Affairs, BBC Scotland, and Louise Thornton, Head of Multiplatform Commissioning, BBC Scotland. 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.
