History
- See the main article BBC Home Service
Gàidhlig language programming has been transmitted in Scotland since 1923, and the BBC's Gàidhlig department was established in 1935. Radio Highland produced a range of Gàidhlig programming - Radio na Gaidhealtachd - and in 1979 the Gàidhlig service Radio nan Eilean was established in Stornoway. In 1985 these two separate services united to form Radio nan Gàidheal. Radio nan Gàidheal joins BBC Radio Scotland's medium-wave feed when they close transmission, Radio Nan Gàidheal's frequencies are also used for an extra live football match for Sportsound each Saturday afternoon.
