In fact not only do we not get any regional variation in BBC2 in Scotland any more, for most of the time BBC Scotland is broadcasting it is just a simulcast of the national BBC2 feed. It is actually quite hard to see what genuinely new material is coming out of Pacific Quay apart from an hour-long news magazine that tells stories “from a Scottish perspective”, whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean. Whatever it means, based on these figures even the Nats aren’t watching it.
