SNP National Secretary Alex Kerr accused BBC executives of having a disdain for Scottish broadcasting and our journalists.
Lucy JacksonHOST
Meanwhile we've got the National Union of Journalists and they called on the UK government and the Chancellor John Healey to intervene urgently to prevent further damaging cuts and they also called on BBC management to find alternative savings.
Lucy JacksonHOST
Now, it's clear that there are a lot of frustrations around this.
Lucy JacksonHOST
I mean, Adonis, do you think that moving BBC Scotland to iPlayer, is this just a natural move towards, is this simply the way that we watch television now? Or is Scotland losing an important part of its broadcasting?
Paddy PrendivilleGUEST

Paddy PrendivilleGUEST
And that was, I mean, Carol Goulding came in on their side, and they were going to do what, yeah, I know, yeah, I know.
Paddy PrendivilleGUEST
Nothing to do with us at all, et cetera, et cetera.
Paddy PrendivilleGUEST
Because they were being called liars as well.
Paddy PrendivilleGUEST
And to give them their due, they came into that.
Paddy PrendivilleGUEST
And once again, it was in camera, even the NUJ thing.

And earlier this year there was news that 60 jobs were in line to be cut at BBC Scotland HQ in Pacific Quay, Glasgow.
Coll McCailHOST
Those cuts of course resisted by the National Union of Journalists.
Coll McCailHOST
I think the retreat of the BBC in Scotland raises very important questions, which we are going to spend a bit of time digging into today.

What does this mean for our media ecosystem? Is it good news? Is it bad news? Sam, I'm going to come to you first.
