BBC Scotland news to go really local as country is split into six

BBC Scotland will launch the first of a mini-regional tier of news
services in early 2007, it was revealed last night.

The detail emerged in a separate report on BBC Scotland by the
Broadcasting Council for Scotland (BCS).

The BBC plans to divide Scotland into six regions covered by a network
of 36 video journalists. Their job will be to provide local television
reports available over broadband and digital TV in addition to the
30-minute Reporting Scotland programme.

There you go, Joe! One region will apparently cover Edinburgh and the
East! :-)
