I wonder if this will be available nationwide on VM?

The BBC say that programming will be available nationwide both online and via the iPlayer, (but I'm assuming that it will be available on Freesat too).

VM currently carry the BBC nations, BBC Alba ect nationwide.

I do find it odd that the BBC closed BBC3 citing their funding problems, yet have found the money for this. Maybe it's getting external funding like BBC Alba??

I imagine that there are more young people in the UK than the population of Scotland too.
