Radio Scotland not even in the top three in Scotland

Local BBC radio stations are in green in the above table. BBC Radio Scotland do not make the top three. Radio Clyde is more popular. This is welcome news for any who have had the stomach to listen to Kaye Adams, John Beattie or Good Mourning Scotland.

Keep listening to Clyde if only to do BBC Scotland down.

  1. Although I agree entirely with your monitoring and debunking of the output of BBC Scotland News and Current affairs, I am concerned that other fine radio productions by Radio Scotland are damned by association with the propaganda unit. Most of the programmes on Radio Scotland to which I listen are at odd hours, such as early Sunday morning or late in the evening. For example, Billy Kay has done many programmes about Scots language and also about Scottish involvement in Europe pre1707, when Scotland was a member of the Hanseatic League, particularly in relation to the Baltic countries and Russia. Poland, for example had discriminatory laws against Scots in the 14th century. Scots were in the Tsar’s armies and some reached the rank of General. The Russian author Mikhail Lermontov was of Scottish descent – his grandparents were called Learmonth and hailed from Fife. My own paternal great great grandfather sold herring in the Baltic.

    The recently deceased Robbie Shepard, often dismissed, was very well informed about the Doric and the culture and history of the North East.

    And yet despite this long output of positive things about Scotland, News and Current Affairs have only one ‘editorial value’: Scotland and anything Scottish is shite.
