Wonder if those outside Scotland will get this on VM, seeing as BBC1 Scotland, S4C etc are available further up the EPG.
I've only skimmed through it myself. The reasoning behind my comment was the detail in para 87:

Quote:
BBC Scotland will have as prominent a slot as possible on the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) on all these platforms in Scotland, assuming that it is possible for the new channel to displace BBC Four to a lower slot on the EPG on all platforms. Table 3 shows further details of the highest EPG slots that the new channel could occupy on different platforms, based on the latest available information.
Displacing BBC Four to a lower slot suggests that they won't be removing it.

BBC Scotland could be made available nationally on VM, I suppose that will be decided by VM and the BBC in due course.
