What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A former correspondent criticized BBC Scotland's management, stating that the station was being damaged by cuts, redundancies, and the possible axing of the Good Morning Scotland (GMS) brand. The BBC is seeking to save £500 million and cut up to 2,000 jobs across the UK, with 60 expected in Scotland. Over the past year, the number of TV licenses held by viewers in Scotland has fallen by nearly 50,000.
