Sometimes I seem to be the only person I know who doesn't watch Sky. In any case, I don't think Rupert Murdoch - James is not so smart it seems - is counting on any favours long term. Politicians are famously ungrateful and forgetful creatures. And "here today and gone tomorrow" as Robin Day put it.<br /><br />If people in an independent Scotland wanted a public service broadcaster - like almost every country in the world - then that's what they'd get because some party - or all of them - would put that in their manifesto. <br /><br />Insofar as Murdoch might have an agenda, my bet would be that he would not oppose an "SBC". His real interest would be served by making sure that it was funded like the BBC, by taxation, and not by advertising. He cannot prevent competition for eyeballs, but he can make sure that there is less competition for advertising money. Your mileage may vary.Angus McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238976801715524150noreply@blogger.com
