Petition · past parliament

Let Scotland have it's own Independent Broadcasting channel.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There is not 1 channel other than RT that covers the true news stories going on in Scotland. The BBC have failed us and STV are no more Scottish than Barack Obama. We need something run by Scotland for Scotland. Our own Independent news and more which also opens up more jobs.
BBC have clearly lied to Scotland for years and since Scotland's awakening and the fact we are the only country of our kind in the world which doesn't have their own broadcasting channel means it's time to move to the future.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
