Change sounds great compared to the status quo but what is this "change for the better..." No details have been given except it'll be "better".
But yeah I'd imagine they'll separate and then have to make deals for each individual show? If the bbc are vindictive they might not agree to it? But I suppose Scotland bbc will have it's own budget to make it's own shows

The BBC just won't disappear! BBC1/2/3/4 and the radio services are available across europe, either pay tv or free via freesat. Radio is available all over the world.
No one knows what will happen in the negotiations. But for commercial and funding reasons, the BBC does not want to loose £320 millions in license fee money.
One proposal, which you partly talked about was the SBS proposal, hive off BBC Scotland services, keep/buy in the best network programming, as they do in Ireland (the programmes air at exactly the same time!). The rest of the schedule is made in Scotland or imported.
The BBC could remain, have a presence via BBC Scotland/SBS like the S4C model
BBC can't just disappear, there is freesat and as I already stated commercial funding reasons meaning the BBC just won't let 5 million viewers or listeners go.
