Why?
It is of low relevance to viewers outside of Scotland (who can already see it on BBC One Scotland) and not “news” in the traditional sense of the channel’s content, which is either rolling news or bulletins. Viewers therefore wouldn’t expect it.
Anybody elsewhere in the UK who wants to see the programme can stream it thorough iPlayer by changing their region to Scotland.
It would possibly be appropriate to simulcast on BBC Parliament, but not the NC in my view. Whatever next, any and all vaguely factual content simulcast?! As I posted a few days ago, that would be akin to a merger of BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service and Newsbeat!
