The establishment of a digital Gaelic television channel as part of an integrated broadcasting service is one step closer following an agreement between BBC Scotland and Seirbheis nam Meadhanan Gàidhlig (Gaelic Media Service – GMS).
Following months of discussion, the organisations have formed a partnership which will work together to create a new digital service for the Gaelic community. This will enable planning to commence on the establishment of a digital television, radio and internet service which it is hoped will begin broadcasting next year.
The service will be funded primarily through Seirbheis nam Meadhanan Gàidhlig Gaelic Media Service, which is financed by the Scottish Executive, with further funding through BBC Scotland. It is understood that around £16.8M per year will be available.

Ar Cànan, Ar Ceòl, Ar-a-mach (‘Our language, our music, [our] revolution’) is the first ever full-length Gaelic rock album by veteran Edinburgh band Oi Polloi. It blends heavy anarcho-punk music with highly politicised lyrics.
[....]
The music of Oi Polloi marks a radical departure from that of Runrig, featuring heavy guitar and outspoken and often explicit lyrics. Topics covered in the album feature anti-capitalism, anti-fascism and the destruction of the British state.
