BBC Scotland bosses face Holyrood grilling over cuts

BBC bosses will face questions over the impact of budget cuts on major events such as the independence referendum and the Commonwealth Games when they appear at Holyrood today.

The broadcaster has already axed 35 jobs in Scotland, 17 of which are in news and current affairs, and could cut up to 120 posts north of the border by 2017.

MSPs will be given the opportunity to quiz BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie, head of news and current affairs John Boothman and Bruce Malcolm, head of Commonwealth Games 2014, at the Culture Committee.
