Want to know how much the BBC spend in England, Scotland, Wales and NI per home?
Just in case you missed it today, BBC Scotland would like to have their own Six O’Clock news on BBC One at an extra cost of £65m a year – BBC Scotland bosses lobby for ‘Scottish Six’ news programme | Media | The Guardian.- at a time when the budget is being cut by £50m this year and £650m by 2020.
Perhaps if they cut BBC ALBA (£9m/year) BBC Radio Scotland ( £31.4m a year), BBC Radio nan Gaidheal (£6.0m) that might get half way toward paying for it? Not sure how a 30 minute news remix show would cost almost the same as a 24-hour news channel either.
But here are the figures from Broadcast…
There are 2.4 people per TV Licence (from BBC Full Financial Statements 2014/15).
England £126.70, Scotland £175.72, Northern Ireland £202.98 and Wales £203.47 – from A new deal for the nations.
Workings out…
| Per Capita | millions of poeple | |
| England | £ 52.10 | 53.01 |
| Scotland | £ 72.20 | 5.295 |
| Northern Ireland | £ 83.40 | 1.811 |
| Wales | £ 83.60 | 3.064 |
