Gaelic Broadcasting Posted Fri Jul 28 15:17:34 BST 2000 by Richard

On this page: http://www.penelope.demon.co.uk/atw/grm-identsp.html there is an example of the Grampian Station name appearing in Scots Gaelic as "Telebhisean Grampian". Is there a similar, Galeic version of the current Gramian TV idents?

And is BBC ONE Scotland still calling itself BBC ONE Alba before Gaelic programmes? I'd hazard a guess that ONE is not the same in Gaelic!

I wonder why BBC Northern Ireland don't do the same for Gaelic programmes there - though there is only one programme in Irish a week - Teletubbies! (Slan Slan Tinky-Winky! Slan!) (I've probably spelt that wrong)

Do Grampian even bother with Gaelic programming any more?

Funnily enough, I have a feeling that ONE isn't Welsh for One either. But then we don't get BBC ONE Cymru so that's not a problem at all...

I thought they did, but I can't see any evidence of it in their listings. So they may not bother. I suppoese there is TeleG and the BBC to sustain the needs of the Gaelic speakers there.

I'll keep an eye out for BBC TWO Thuaisceart �ireann anyhow!

Correction, after the Nightly news on either Weds or Thurs, Scottish and Grampian have several Gaelic progs.
