BBC Two Scotland

BBC Two Scotland started providing local programming in the early 80’s. During this time the channel was used for all manner of opt outs including Gaelic programmes on Thursday evening. Until 2015 Glasgow would only provide continuity around Scottish opts, instead relying on the network, but since 2015 Glasgow would cover all junctions. On Sunday 18th February 2019 BBC Two Scotland closed down and replaced with the BBC 2 English service and the new BBC Scotland Channel a week later.
