BBC Radio Scotland is British public radio station owned by British Broadcasting Corporation. The station broadcasts news, debate, music, drama, comedy and sports programmings.
History[]
The first BBC Radio Scotland broadcast was on 17 December 1973, two weeks earlier than planned.
BBC Radio Scotland was founded as a full-time radio network on 23 November 1978. Previously it was possible only to opt out of BBC Radio 4, and the service was known as Radio 4 Scotland or, formally on air, as BBC Scotland Radio 4. The establishment of a separate network was made possible when BBC Radio 4 became a fully UK-wide network when it moved from medium wave to long wave and new VHF (FM) transmitters were brought into service so that BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Scotland no longer had to share on FM. However it was not until the early 1990s that BBC Radio 4 was available on FM across all of Scotland so for its first decade on air, the station only broadcast during the day so that BBC Radio 4 could be heard on BBC Radio Scotland's transmitters in the evening to compensate for poorer AM reception after dark.
