BBC One Scotland complements the networked BBC One schedule by providing mixed-genre programmes which appeal to mainstream Scottish audiences and which displace or replace content otherwise available on BBC One. The service provides Scottish viewers with programmes that reflect and support Scottish culture, identity and heritage, and it is the BBC's primary outlet for television coverage of major Scottish events.

BBC One Scotland provides a broad range of distinctive television content that reflects the diverse nature of Scotland and Scottish culture and heritage for audiences in Scotland. In particular, it provides accurate and impartial news services. Its current affairs output documents civic and political life, provides context for Scottish issues, and facilitates debate. BBC One Scotland provides a platform for special events of particular significance to mainstream Scottish audiences.

This year our priorities include:

Priority	Rationale
Cover the 2007 Scottish parliamentary and local elections, with cameras installed at every election night count across Scotland and with all declarations recorded online. There will also be a Leaders' debate (simulcast on Radio Scotland).	A key ingredient within the delivery of an accurate, impartial and independent news and current affairs service for our audiences, enabling our audiences to hold those in political power to account.
Invest in new comedy talent and encouragement of diversity of voice in output, with the introduction of two new sitcoms on BBC One Scotland.	Recognition of the importance of nurturing and developing new talent from across Scotland and beyond and taking account of the Scottish audience's appetite for high-quality comedy and entertainment.
Broadcast a minimum of 450 hours of live or originated programming across a wide range of genres.	An ambition to maintain our current range and mix and continue to provide high-quality programmes that engage viewers.
