History

Scotland 2014 was announced in February 2014, part of a major shake-up in BBC Scotland News and current affairs programme in the run up to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum.[1][2] It was initially scheduled to run until October of that year.[1] The BBC stated the series "will demonstrate how Scotland impacts on national and global events and how national and global events impact on Scotland."[3] Presenter Sarah Smith relocated to Scotland from London.[4]

In mid-2016 it was thought that the average audience was around 35,000.[5]

On 21 June 2016 the BBC announced that the show was being discontinued.[6] After its summer break the series returned on 22 August 2016 albeit only being broadcast three nights a week.

In January 2017, the BBC announced its replacement called "Timeline" broadcasting once a week.[7]
