THE SNP have backed calls for the BBC to reverse planned cuts to Scottish broadcasting – and increase spending north of the Border so it matches the money raised from Scots households.

A topical motion passed at the SNP conference on Friday afternoon, members backed a motion which condemned reported plans to cut up to 60 jobs at BBC Scotland and move the channel to an online-only format.
