It has high viewing figures, it's good value for money and Gaelic speakers are license fee payers too, so should get services in their language.
Moderators this has gone very OT now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3
If the argument is "Gaelic speakers are licence fee payers too, so should get services in their language", then I wonder how far that argument should be advanced in favour of the Punjabi/Polish/Kurdish/French communities who live in the UK?

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.

Do they have a vast amount of services provided by the licence fee, which they have to pay in order to access those that aren't?

I'm a big fan of ALBA 70's, ALBA 80's and ALBA 90's. Great nostalgic programming. Also don't mind the Gaelic commentary over the top of the live Scottish football they show.
