A NUMBER of network programme titles are expected to be relaunched in Scotland as part of a drive to increase the level of BBC Scotland’s network production.

The outcry was one of the reasons why First Minister, Alex Salmond, recently set up a commission to look into the future of Scottish broadcasting.
