Acting DG Tim Davie is reportedly on his way to face BBC Scotland staff in an Q&A session in Pacific Quay today. Today is also, probably, the last full working day to sort out something for news staff around Scotland facing compulsory redundancy. The NUJ has a national mandate to call a strike - around 70% support, on a 37.7% turnout in their recent ballot; and the branch is due to meet on Monday to discuss next steps. When first announced, this year's cuts meant 35 staff were potentially on their way out.

Meanwhile, in a gavotte with the Scottish Parliament, BBC Scotland executives have said they will attend a committee meeting on 22 January.
