Presumably if the BBC were to take over it would become fully licence fee funded and advertising would have to be removed. Whilst there are obvious Scottish counterparts it seems foolish in this day and age to switch from a commercial hybrid model to a fully funded model. Indeed it could be argued it's links with the BBC actually hold it back in some respects - as much as having content on the iPlayer reaches a wider audience the fact they have to stream without ads means revenue must be lost as a result.

Hopefully this issue will pass and sooner rather than later people who put the channel above their own vendettas will take it forward.
