I was expecting a bit more of a stooshie. Last night saw the launch of BBC Alba, the Gaelic tv service, on Freeview north of the border, at the expense of most BBC network radio in the evenings. Kelvin Holdsworth, the Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow, is one of the few dismayed by the swap.
There are a few nice ironies in the Twittersphere. "I've now got BBC Alba which is showing Andy Murray losing in Gaelic". "From what I can gather the main story on BBC Alba is that BBC Alba is now on Freeview".
Interesting to note that on Saturday and Sunday, BBC Alba will have "exclusive" coverage of the Rock Ness festival, featuring Gaelic idols (?) Paolo Nutini, Magnetic Man, Kasabian and The Wombats. So I suspect the first week's audience figures will be alright...
