AXE FEAR FOR SKY CHANNEL
Telly Chiefs last night were poised to pull the plug on the satellite
channel, Sky Scottish.
Stunned staff were warned the channel, a joint venture between Scottish
Television and BSkyB, could stop broadcasting in weeks.
Union leaders held urgent talks with station bosses yesterday after
senior staff were told the channel would not be making any more programmes,
putting 24 jobs under threat.
The channel's news, sports, and leisure programmes were aimed at Scots
living away from home.
Last night, insiders blamed poor viewing figures for the move.
One source said: +ACI-The viewing figures were dismal. We were aware it was
going to be axed but management kept denying it in public.+ACI-
