Lord Patten is taking a stroll round the wide-open spaces of the BBC's Pacific Quay headquarters in Glasgow today. Interrogated by Gary Robertson on Good Morning Scotland, he described some local newspaper headlines about cuts to come north of the border as "far-fetched".
The Scottish Sun has recruited Lorraine Kelly to lead a campaign to preserve Glasgow soap River City as a year round offering; there are rumours that it'll be forced to take a summer break. It currently costs around £7m p.a to produce, for an average audience of 500,000 - £14 per viewer per year.
For the whole of the BBC, the grim news from Lord Patten was that the whole DQF palaver will go to public consultation, and final decisions will only come in the New Year.
