BBC Alba, the new BBC Gaelic channel, commences broadcasting from this Friday at 9.00pm on Sky, Virgin Media, Freesat, Freesat from Sky, and on the internet at www.bbc.co.uk/alba. There'll be music, sport, news, cartoons, religion, weather, arts and many other programmes on the channel (and hopefully some history!), which will broadcast each day between 4.00pm and 12.00 midnight each day, after the launch.
The channel's boss is Margaret Mary Murray, who gave me my first job when I moved to Scotland in 1997, so it's in very safe hands! The way BBC Scotland's English language programming is going these days, BBC Alba might be the only place to find some decent Scottish based documentaries - but for those with no Gaelic, it will all be subtitled.
