TV viewers in separate Scotland to pay extra for BBC Alex Salmond has insisted people in a separate Scotland could continue watching their supposed "favourite" programmes like EastEnders and the X Factor, but have not made clear what would happen to less mainstream shows. Mr Wishart began his speech by stating the SNP would not publish its final plans next year but started divulging details under close questioning from delegates. Asked which BBC programmes would continue to be broadcast after independence, he said: "We would just buy the programmes that we'd want. Do we want some of the programmes that we see in Scotland which have got very little to do with the experience of living in Scotland, got very little to do with our national debate? We'd want popular programmes. He estimated between £50 million and £75 million would be spent annually buying in BBC shows for "what would become SBC ONE and SBC TWO." These would be free to view for households paying the Scottish licence fee, but the BBC currently spends around £2.5 billion a year on output including specialist shows on channels such as BBC TWO and BBC FOUR. Asked how viewers would access less mainstream content, he said: "If you have a cable or satellite network, you would get the full range of services." The MP confirmed this would require households to pay an addition "commercial" charge on top of their SBC licence fee. He claimed the changes would be in the "best interests" of viewers as more Scottish shows would be aired "and it would make sure our national (political) debate would be held and managed absolutely properly." The SNP broadcasting spokesman said the licence fee raises £325 million annually in Scotland, of which £50 million is spend on overheads. He said there was enough money left over for the SBC to spend an extra £100 million on Scottish shows. He said the channel would take all the BBC's assets "we're entitled to," including its staff, production networks and its state-of-the-art headquarters at Glasgow's Pacific Quay. Mr Wishart also attacked the BBC for refusing to allow Mr Salmond to appear as a rugby pundit before the Calcutta Cup between England and Scotland. This prompted the First Minister to compare the official responsible to a Nazi bureaucrat. The SNP MP said the incident "just fuels that sort of view that the BBC is seen very much as an institutional enemy about what we're trying to achieve here in Scotland." However, he then suggested that being British was not a large element of the BBC. Ian Small, head of public policy and corporate affairs for BBC Scotland, told the conference the SBC's operating costs would "significantly increase" above the £50 million claimed by Mr Wishart if the BBC was broken up. Taking into account all BBC television, radio and online output, he said: "Effectively what sums we've been able to do show the return to licence payers in Scotland is greater than the licence fee actually collected." An executive from Channel 4 suggested that to be commercially successful the SBC would have to produce programmes the rest of the world wants to watch instead of Mr Wishart's suggestion of inward-looking shows about Scotland. Annabel Goldie, Scottish Tory culture spokesman, said: "The BBC is a much loved institution in the UK and many people will be furious at the prospect of carving it up."
