If you look at Scotland for example, is it really necessary to have Radio nan Gàidheal in the Central Belt for example, where Gaelic speakers are at a minimum? The FM frequencies could be reused for a more local service in English for licence payers instead covering the most populated and English speaking part of the nation.

It could be also said for Radio Cymru in South Wales where Welsh is a second language taught in schools. The commercial sector in Wales has one Welsh language pop station owned by Global which covers Anglesey and Gwynedd where there's a higher percentage of Welsh speakers. Capital Cymru plays a mix of English pop and Welsh contemporary songs.

Obviously the latter won't go down well with Welsh language campaigners, but if money needs to be saved.
