History

(File:5SC Plaque Glasgow.jpg|alt=A commemorative plaque on a building on Bath Street, Glasgow with the text “5SC One 6th March 1923 The First Radio Studios of the BBC in Scotland were inaugurated in this building BBC“|left|thumb|A commemorative plaque on a building on Bath Street, Glasgow)(File:BBC logo (pre97; Scotland).svg|thumb|The logo of BBC Scotland between 1988 and 1997.)The first radio service in Scotland was launched by the British Broadcasting Company on 6 March 1923.WEB, History,www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/aboutus/wirelesstoweb/history/index.shtml, The Wireless to the Web, BBC, 6 June 2012, Named 5SC and located in Bath Street in Glasgow, the services gradually expanded to include the new stations 2BD, 2DE and 2EH, based at Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh respectively. Around 1927, the new Corporation, as the BBC now was, decided to combine these local stations into regions under the generic banner of the BBC Regional Programme. Regional programmes throughout the UK were merged to form the BBC Home Service in 1939, and, with a break for the Second World War, national opt outs remained on the station and its successor BBC Radio 4 until the establishment of a separate BBC Radio Scotland in November 1978.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}Television in Scotland began formally on 14 March 1952 using the 405-line television system broadcast from the Kirk o’Shotts transmitter. In the beginning, all programmes came from London but some with Scottish content were made using an outside broadcast unit. By 1962, there were plans for television news interview studios in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.NEWS,news.google.com/newspapers?id=5XxAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=lKMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2636%2C7260114, More TV Coverage for Scotland. B.B.C. Report and “Public Service Obligation”, The Glasgow Herald, 19 October 1962, 11, 8 January 2022, Eventually, BBC Scotland established the right to “opt-out” of the network more and more. When BBC Two arrived in Scotland in 1966 (having begun in London two years earlier and spread across the country), broadcasts began in black and white on 405-lines from the Black Hill transmitter. BBC Two upgraded to PAL colour in 1967 (including Scotland) across the UK, with BBC One (network programmes only at first, with local output still in black-and-white) and STV following in December 1969, and in 1971, BBC Scotland’s Queen Margaret Drive Studio “A” in Glasgow became one of the first regional studios in Britain to upgrade to colour.In September 1998, BBC Choice Scotland was launched as BBC Scotland’s first digital service.NEWS,www.heraldscotland.com/news/12335421.No_one_gets_the_Choice_BBC_launches_digital_TV/, No-one gets the Choice BBC launches new channel, The Herald, 24 September 1998, 19 August 2017, For many years, BBC Scotland has tried to increase the number of programmes it makes to be shown on the networks. This ambition was greatly aided by the move of BBC Scotland’s headquarters in 2007 from Queen Margaret Drive to BBC Pacific Quay where state of the art digital studios were built and by the decision of the BBC centrally to move a number of programme departments, such as Children’s, out of London.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

Television

BBC Scotland broadcasts three television services to Scottish audiences. BBC One Scotland is a separate channel able to opt out of the network feed of BBC One to broadcast its own schedule of regional programming in addition to networked productions. The flagship news programme BBC Reporting Scotland is presented by Laura Miller and Sally Magnusson.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}BBC Scotland operates BBC Alba, broadcasting programming in Gaelic for up to seven hours a day. The channel is a joint partnership between BBC Scotland and MG Alba and is available across the UK on satellite and cable services and Freeview in Scotland only. During downtime, BBC Alba simulcasts Gaelic radio station BBC Radio nan Gàidheal with an in-vision graphical overlay. Prior to digital switchover, some Gaelic programming was carried on BBC Two Scotland, however this ceased following the switchover.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}Thirdly, the BBC Scotland channel commenced broadcasting at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday 24 February 2019. On 22 February 2017, director general Tony Hall announced plans to launch a dedicated English-language BBC Scotland channel in 2018, which would replace the BBC Two Scotland opt-out. It would broadcast from 7:00 p.m. to midnight nightly, and feature a lineup composed entirely of new and archived Scottish programming, including a new hour-long 9:00 p.m. weeknight newscast that will be produced from Scotland. The proposed newscast been considered a response to the perennial proposals for a local opt-out of the BBC News at Six. Hall also announced that the BBC would increase its overall spending on factual and drama productions in Scotland by £20 million annually.NEWS, New TV channel for BBC in Scotland, BBC News, 22 February 2017,www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-39042666, 23 February 2017, WEB, BBC to launch Scottish TV channel with hour-long news programme,www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/feb/22/bbc-to-launch-scottish-tv-channel-with-hour-long-news-programme, The Guardian, 22 February 2017, 23 February 2017, The BBC Scotland channel was approved by Ofcom in June 2018, and subsequently launched on 24 February 2019.

BBC Scotland also operates two radio stations covering Scotland: BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio nan Gàidheal. The former broadcasts English programming 24 hours a day on the frequencies 92-95 FM and 810 MW. The station has specific programming opt outs for Orkney and Shetland in addition to regional news opt outs for four additional sub regions - North East, Highlands & Islands, South West and Borders. BBC Radio nan Gàidheal in contrast is a Gaelic-language station broadcasting for the majority of the day on 103.5-105 FM and simulcasting Radio Scotland’s MW service at other times.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

Past programming

Over the years, BBC Scotland made a number of well known and much loved radio and television programmes both for the BBC networks and for transmission in Scotland only. In television these were known within the BBC as “opt out” programmes.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}At teatime in the beginning, there was A Quick Look Round with Leonard Maguire. From 1968, as well as the flagship evening news programme Reporting Scotland, presented by Mary Marquis and Douglas Kynoch, with contributions from Renton Laidlaw in Edinburgh and Donny B. MacLeod in Aberdeen, there were popular current affairs series such as Compass, Checkpoint with Professor Esmond Wright and Magnus Magnusson, Person to Person with Mary Marquis, Current Account, Public Account and Agenda.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}Many comedy series have been made by BBC Scotland, including Scotch and Wry, Rab C.

Television continuity announcers

BBC Scotland started using their own television continuity announcers voicing over specific BBC Scotland station idents for all evening and weekend afternoon junctions around 1977. Before this, announcers only introduced occasional opt-outs, which resulted in the London announcer being heard most of the time, the Scottish announcer wasn’t even heard before Reporting Scotland because in those days the early evening Regional News magazines began with a ‘throw’ from the Nationwide programme. The announcers were “self-op” - they had to speak and press the buttons to change the sound and picture and cue in telecine (film), videotape recordings (VTR) and live programmes.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}From 1979, their duties were expanded to cover reading the lunchtime news bulletin in vision at 12:40, just before the network Midday News at 12:45.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}There was one announcer who was never seen. Robert Logan was also a Conservative local councillor. Consequently, he never read the news summaries, nor did he ever give his name at closedown. From 1985, the announcing team started doing a news summary just before children’s programmes at around 15:53, and within a few weeks, additional news summaries at 21:25 were introduced. From 31 October 1988, newsroom staff started to read the news summaries instead of the announcers.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}Inevitably, though, viewers started to spot their little idiosyncrasies. Mark Stephen often came perilously close to sending up programmes with his good-natured humour; links of his included:{{cquote|Peter Cushing stars in our late night horror film in 50 minutes.
