Undisclosed report alleged to suggest £300 licence fee for an independent Scotland
Quote:
The BBC is under political pressure to reveal details of a highly charged internal study which found that viewers in an independent Scotland would have to pay almost double their current licence fee if they wanted to continue watching and listening to the same BBC shows...Sources say that one of the most expensive elements is the transmission of radio and television programmes in Scotland due to its more widely dispersed population and topography. BBC Radio Scotland costs £32.2m – almost double the amount BBC Radio Wales does, for example.
