It will broadcast throughout the UK on satellite (Sky & Freesat) and cable from launch. Subject to review by the BBC Trust, it will be broadcast on Freeview, in Scotland only, from the digital switchover (2010). The channel is being funded by the [[Gaelic Media Service]] and the [[BBC]]. |
|||
[[Gaelic Media Service]] and the [[BBC]] will run the channel in partnership. Gaelic programming on [[BBC Two Scotland]] is to continue at least until the Digital switchover. The Gaelic Digital Service will also include [[BBC Radio nan Gàidheal]] and online content. |
|||
The channel is to start broadcasting on the 19th September 2008.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/tv/local/alba_eng.shtml</ref> |
|||
==Content== |
|||
The new Gaelic Digital Service, which will combine [[television]], [[radio]] and [[on-line]] programme content, is anticipated to have a positive impact at many levels including increasing artistic and technical skills, extending economic opportunities, simulating parents' interest in [[Gaelic education]], appealing to and serving the adult learners and strengthening Gaelic usage in extremely important media. It holds significant potential to assist with the development of positive attitudes to the acquisition and transmission of Gaelic. |
