Thanks very much for signing! It's clear from the comments posted that this is something that is very much wanted. The signup rate has picked up but is still sub 1000 :-( From what I had seen beforehand, I very much thought this would have gone much higher, much faster. At one point I had more re-tweets for the link than actual signatures...! I have tried to get the petition shared and posted, but can I ask you to do what you can to re-tweet and share to maximise the visibility of the petition and boost its take up? Thanks. Ken ******************** I am sure you are all FB and Twitter connected enough to have seen these, but I thought it worth posting an update. The Guardian has an article on the proposed format of the pilots; http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/feb/29/bbc-scotland-three-pilots-flagship-scottish-six-news-programme From my own perspective and from the majority of comments posted on the petition, only the first option seems to be worth going for. -------------------- Also a poll in the Scottish Daily mail declares Support: 36% Oppose: 33% Don't Care/Know: 32% That's a straight three way split, but of course the Mail pushes this as being a minority don't want the programme. -------------------- You'll likely know @GAPonsonby. He has posted his take on the Scottish Six and as usual is worth a read. Based on previous experience (Newsnight Scotland replacements...) the idea of it only being worth while if it ISN'T the BBC running has validity, but on the basis of what is more likely to be achievable I would take a BBC Scottish Six, even if it is not ideal, as better than what we have now. ??? http://ponsonbypost.com/index.php/news/65-the-scottish-six-must-come-with-a-change-in-management-or-not-at-all ********************
