OUR national radio station broadcast live commentary from the Queen’s Park v Brechin City Scottish Cup match last Tuesday evening, a game that attracted a mere 535 spectators. It was played days after it emerged that BBC Radio Scotland was scrapping its only programme dedicated to books, Cover Stories.
Radio Scotland has a public service remit, but the coverage of last Tuesday’s game was not catering for the honourable minority interests of Queen’s Park and Brechin City fans; it was an embarrassing sign of our national obsession.
