===Television services===

Television in Scotland began formally on 14 March 1952 using the [[405-line television system]] broadcast from the [[Kirk o' Shotts transmitter]].<ref name="BBC Wireless to Web"/> In the beginning, all programmes came from London but some with Scottish content were made using an outside broadcast unit. By 1962, there were plans for television news interview studios in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5XxAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=lKMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2636%2C7260114 |title=More TV Coverage for Scotland.

When BBC Two arrived in Scotland in 1966 (having begun in London two years earlier and spread across the country), broadcasts began in black and white on 405-lines from the Black Hill transmitter. BBC Two upgraded to [[PAL]] colour in 1967 (including Scotland) across the UK, with BBC One (network programmes only at first, with local output still in black-and-white) and [[STV (TV channel)|STV]] following in December 1969, and in 1971, BBC Scotland's Queen Margaret Drive Studio "A" in Glasgow became one of the first regional studios in Britain to upgrade to colour.<ref name="BBC Wireless to Web"/>

In September 1998, [[BBC Choice Scotland]] was launched as BBC Scotland's first digital service.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12335421.No_one_gets_the_Choice_BBC_launches_digital_TV/ |title=No-one gets the Choice BBC launches new channel |work=The Herald |date=24 September 1998 |access-date=19 August 2017}}</ref>
