BBC Scotland unveiled multi-platform plans on March 18, 2026, for May's Scottish Parliament election, which include a leaders' debate, daily online live pages, podcasts, and rolling results day coverage. The broadcaster invited leaders of six parties to participate in a live debate from Paisley Town Hall on April 12. Previously, on March 5, a column criticized BBC Scotland's standards and content, suggesting the removal of Kaye Adams presented an opportunity for the broadcaster to reimagine itself. This followed criticism on March 3 regarding what an article described as "fan-boy" language used by BBC Scotland's Tom English. Earlier, on February 12, Culture Secretary Angus Robertson wrote to BBC Scotland expressing concerns about a decline in airtime for independent Scottish artists and requested a meeting to clarify the commitment to providing a "prominent and meaningful platform" for "emerging Scottish talent" on BBC Radio Scotland.
