BBC to "cut number of programmes it makes" according to Davie

[Brekkie]

And the BBC Scotland situation shows why we need BBC1 and BBC2 to operate semi-independently in the nations. Would be interesting to see how appreciation varies across the nations but I do think we have a stronger BBC in Wales for the amount of opts they have on BBC1 and especially BBC2 Wales - scrap BBC2 Wales and you're losing the live sport for starters. Yes, we could have a BBC Scotland style channel I suppose but that lowers the profile of the content IMO and also adds hours to fill.
