Scottish independence: Public broadcasting preferences 2013 survey

If Scotland became independent what would be your preference for public broadcasting (currently the BBC) in Scotland?

The data displays a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out if those residing in Scotland think they should still have access to the BBC if, in September 2014, Scotland votes 'Yes' to become an independent nation. In January 2013, the majority of respondents (61%) said that they thought Scotland should keep the BBC in Scotland. A minority said the BBC should be replaced completely by a new Scottish public service.
