BBC Scotland is a regional television channel that provides Scotland-focused programming across news, current affairs, entertainment, sport, and cultural content. The channel aims to reflect Scottish life, voice and identity with locally-commissioned shows, documentaries and discussion formats that speak directly to viewers in Scotland and beyond. It broadcasts primarily during the evening and night, with daytime content often simulcasting BBC Two and other BBC schedules supplemented by Scottish continuity.

A key programme on the channel is BBC Reporting Scotland: News at Seven, which, since its launch in January 2025, provides Scotland-centred news coverage each weekday evening with a blend of national, local and international reporting. Debate Night is another flagship show — a topical current-affairs discussion programme in the tradition of Question Time, featuring local voices and experts debating the week’s big issues.

For football fans, A View From The Terrace offers commentary, fan insight and cultural perspective on Scottish and UK football, blending passionate discussion with humour and analysis. Additionally, The Entertainment Mix brings Scottish culture and celebrity interviews to the channel, covering music, arts, and major cultural events across Scotland. Beyond its flagship line-up, BBC Scotland also produces documentaries, lifestyle series, and special event coverage that highlight Scotland’s landscapes, communities, and creativity.

Familiar faces on BBC Scotland include Laura Maciver and Amy Irons, who co-anchor the BBC Reporting Scotland: News at Seven, bringing authoritative news coverage to the prime-time audience. Stephen Jardine hosts Debate Night, guiding in-depth panel discussions on topical issues while Michelle McManus leads The Entertainment Mix, offering engaging interviews and cultural features with artists and personalities across Scotland.
