EPG positions for new BBC Scotland TV channel announced

BBC Scotland has confirmed the EPG position of its new channel which launches on 24 February 2019 in High Definition (HD) via Freeview/YouView, Sky, Freesat Virgin Media and via BBC iPlayer.

From midnight on Sunday 17 February, BBC Two Scotland will cease to broadcast to viewers in Scotland.

After this date, viewers in Scotland will receive the network version of BBC Two and content that would traditionally have been broadcast on BBC Two Scotland will be included in the BBC Scotland channel schedule.
