What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorScotland's Culture Secretary, Mairi McAllan, calls the plan to close the BBC Scotland channel "wholly unacceptable," and says the government opposes it in the strongest possible terms.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo what are the strongest possible terms? Is there a lever? A big red button?

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA letter. The Scottish Government has written to Ofcom, asking the regulator to review the decision, including what it means for the BBC's operating licence.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA letter. I mean, I love mail.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd the current affairs programme News at Seven will shut down entirely, according to the reporting. Online, it seems, is not the same as on.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDoes a review actually stop it?

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat's not been said, Chip, and it's the right question. The letter asks for a review. It probably doesn't ask for the channel back.

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAt least the letter will be delivered. Which is more than News at Seven can say.
