And if you compare the cost per viewer/hour, BBC Alba is quite a bit more expensive than BBC3 - figures from 2010 (I can't find any more recent) show that BBC Alba cost 29.4p per viewer, per hour, whilst BBC3 cost 16.8p per viewer, per hour.

I had an idea that BBC Alba wasn't soley funded by the BBC, I didn't realise that the vast majority of the cost was met by the Scottish Government (in effect, general taxation).
