===Recent years===

For many years, BBC Scotland has tried to increase the number of programmes it makes to be shown on the networks.  This ambition was greatly aided by the move of BBC Scotland's headquarters in 2007 from Queen Margaret Drive to [[BBC Pacific Quay]] where state of the art digital studios were built. In March 2021, a decision was taken by the BBC to relocated jobs and departments from London to other parts of the BBC network, including BBC Scotland. As part of the restructure, the technology team for the BBC moved from London to Glasgow.<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC to move key jobs and programmes out of London |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56433109 |website=BBC News |access-date=18 January 2025 |date=18 March 2021}}</ref> Productions by the BBC such as ''[[The Weakest Link]]'', ''[[Newsnight Review]]'' and "at least one Saturday night primetime show" would be relocated to Scotland, produced by BBC Scotland in Glasgow.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Big Question: What will a BBC move out of London mean for |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/the-big-question-what-will-a-bbc-move-out-of-london-mean-for-programmes-and-viewers-964172.html |website=The Independent |access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref>

The BBC's flagship political and debating programme, ''[[Question Time]]'', had its permanent base moved to Glasgow in 2009.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Dowell |first1=Ben |title=BBC2's Newsnight Review to get revamp |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2009/mar/24/newsnight-review-revamp |website=The Guardian |access-date=18 January 2025 |date=24 March 2009}}</ref> The relocation of ''Question Time'' to Glasgow sparked some controversy, with former executive producer of the programme, George Carey, claiming the move from London to Glasgow would "editorially weaken the show and increase costs".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Maggie |title=Former Question Time producer hits out at Glasgow move |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/feb/11/bbc-question-time-glasgow-move |website=The Guardian |access-date=18 January 2025 |date=11 February 2011}}</ref>
