From the Horse’s Mouth
The BBC Trust has given its go-ahead for BBC Scotland and Gaelic Media Service (GMS) to launch their planned Gaelic Digital Service (GDS).
The GDS service will cost £20.8m-per-year in total, of which GMS will contribute £10.1m and the BBC £10.7m.
It’s a pity the BBC didn’t mention how many gaelic speakers there are in Scotland. In terms of gaelic-only, the answer is 0. Those with gaelic and english: 70,000.
Or to put it another way: £300 for every speaker.
