I see your point, but 1) the minority ethnic groups you speak about already have TV and radio services (a vast amount) 2) Scotland's Gaelic speakers have no alternatives, only TV and radio in languages not of the own 3) mis conception, the programming is general Scottish programming, for all of Scotland not only for Gàidhealtachd or of Gàidhealtachd interest.
