Platform for Success - Scottish Broadcasting Commission's final report

Creative Scotland Transition Project,
09 September 2008, Scotland

The Creative Scotland Transition Team welcomes the publication of the Scottish Broadcasting Commission’s final report, Platform for Success.  We fully endorse the view that, “Broadcasting is important to the economic, cultural and democratic health of the nation.”  The Commission has clearly demonstrated the interconnectivity and interdependence across the economic, cultural and democratic imperatives of the broadcasting system in Scotland.   

We welcome the aspirations in the report for more high quality creative content produced in Scotland. The report’s key recommendations chime very closely with Creative Scotland’s emerging thinking, particularly the role that Creative Scotland can play in ensuring that the broadcasters, production companies, economic development bodies, skills agencies and further and higher education work collaboratively in delivering what is required to ensure a thriving creative content sector.

We look forward to working closely with these and other partners, including Government, in developing appropriate responses to the Commission’s recommendations and to seeing Scotland’s broadcasting sector significantly develop and grow, benefiting audiences, talent and businesses.
