Whilst I get your point, in
theory channels like Alba are launched not to cater for existing speakers, but to encourage more people to learn it.
So, like I said, in
theory I'm their audience as I'm Scottish, live in Scotland and don't speak Gaelic. In practice I'm not interested in learning, and the only times I've had the channel on is to see the full replay football matches...which I've watched with the sound off/down. And anecdotally I get the impression I'm far from alone.
