Freeview controversy

Can someone please wright something about the freeview campaign or about how the tiny budget of £14m is compleatly inadequit for a channel that gets 600,000 viewers a week more than ten times the amount of scottish gaelic speakers in scotland and because it isnt on freeview it is only availbe to roughly a third of scots (i can site references).

This is extremly unfair of the BBC to deny this channel to the freeview audience but at the end of the day the BBC only care about england i guess. Ps: i dont expect anything to be written on the article about the BBC (*COUGH* EBC) being bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.136.194 (talk) 01:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The right for Gaelic Digital Service is BBC Alba as seen on Sky Digital on the BBC Alba test card. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamhillwill (talk • contribs) 10:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move to BBC Alba (TV channel)

It was copy-paste moved to BBC Alba (TV channel), and I have reverted this as a GFDL copyvio. If the consensus is to move to this new location, please feel free using the move function. Cheers, Ian¹³ /t 14:50, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OpposeNo point meging it it is new serparate channel this not to do with with bbc alba it will jsut be broadcast from there

I'm confused - are you suggesting moving it to BBC Alba that it has come from there? Since none of the other BBC channels seem to have the (TV Channel), including S4C I'm not sure why BBC Alba needs to be graced with it. Akerbeltz (talk) 15:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Virgin

How does one reference a phonecall to Virgin and being told that they're "working on it"? Not sarcasm - I just don't have a clue what a ref like that would look like! Akerbeltz (talk) 15:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

firs you cant, second that aint relible people at companie often lie to get cusotmer to sign up or to stay.--Andrewcrawford (talk) 17:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Fry

The reason I keep removing those counter-arguments about Fry's position is NOT because I agree with him but this is not a forum, so we can't just add stuff to an article because it's what we feel about a certain topic. I'd certainly like to see a counter-argument against Fry's rather ludicrous assertions but we really need to quote a source from somewhere. Akerbeltz (talk) 22:15, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

some details about Michael Fry and his attitudes and knowledge of the subject should be added as its important to know how much somebody knows what there talking about if there going to be cited in criticising it. If for instance, there is evidence that irish viewers have learned irish gaelic from watching football on TG 4, then this would be a useful source for demonstrating the lack of veracity in his statement. If a column was written criticising the law by a non legal expert, after all, it would be relevant to point out their lack of knowledge or expertise in that field. Why not in regards to broad negative statements on linguistic policies? 92.235.167.172 (talk) 23:01, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
