The need for a fair and balanced independent broadcaster in Scotland has never been greater. We have reported on the cost of living crisis and have seen how it is affecting the lives of people in Scotland as we strive to be able to bring you Scottish and international news from a Scottish perspective every day.
Early in 2026 Broadcasting Scotland moved to our new premises in Stirling, close to the university campus and within view of the Wallace Monument. From there, with the assistance of an enthusiastic and growing group of volunteer journalists and production staff, we continue regularly to report the news to as wide an audience as possible.
The move has presented considerable funding challenges, which is why we are launching a new fundraising appeal to raise £25,000 to complete the work on fitting out our studios and produce more programmes.

We are so very grateful for all the donations we receive.
We already have the technical ability and capacity to report live from our studio and utilise remote feeds from all over Scotland and around the world. We now aim to move to the next phase of our development, which will involve:
- Increasing the frequency of our news broadcasts from weekly to daily.
- Supplementing our news output with a mixture of chat, discussion, culture and review programmes, live and recorded music of all genres, and live and recorded stand-up comedy and quiz shows. We want to create programmes for a modern, confident, outward looking nation, and to build an audience that will trust our output for its quality, veracity and fairness.
- Providing training and mentoring to support the growth of journalistic and broadcasting talent in Scotland, capable of taking up positions anywhere in the world.
We believe in fair and balanced public service media, and our programmes will always be free to view. However, in order to have the resources to achieve our aims, we will need to broaden our base of donors and subscribers.
Our primary funding model is to encourage supporters to sign up for a regular monthly subscription. The suggested subscription amount is just £5.00 per month, but subscribers are welcome to offer other regular amounts. One-off donations of any size are also welcome.
We are truly grateful to each and every one of our financial supporters, without whom we could not exist.
