Scottish Independance

Scottish independance : broadcasting changes could damage democracy

Description: Enders Scottish independence

This story is talking about  how an independent Scotland would not be allowed to enjoy the BBC and its shows as it would now be an independent state. However, this is not correct as they would still be able to get all BBC channels through either a SKY subscription or a Virgin subscription. An independent would have to create their own ofcom to monitor shows and movie.  

I believe that the article is accurate as independence for Scotland would mean the loss of the BBC as it is the national broadcaster but more relevantly it is another variable that could make Scotland stay.

the point about a Scotland ofcom intrigued me as there would be a need for construction of snp would. Due to the fact a party would set this up , the question is raised whether this new organisation under SNP's control would be biased and conform to the SNP's need and not that of the Scottish people.
