MG Alba chief cites funding gaps
MG Alba, the organization supporting Gaelic media services, has criticized the lack of adequate public funding compared to Welsh and Irish language broadcasters, which receive significantly more support to diversify and expand digital content. The Scottish government provided £15 million for 2026-27, but MG Alba argues it does not benefit from direct licence fee funding like other Celtic broadcasters such as S4C and TG4. BBC Alba, launched in 2008, offers news, sports, drama, and children's programs but has expressed the need for fairer funding from the UK government, which is reviewing the BBC Charter.
