BBC Four Scotland

BBC Four Scotland was the national variation of BBC Four for BBC Scotland. It was broadcast via digital television and was the sister channel of BBC One Scotland, BBC Two Scotland and BBC Three Scotland.

History
BBC Four Scotland launched on 2 March 2002 at 7:00 pm GMT, replacing BBC Knowledge Scotland, an educational and cultural channel which had undergone many changes throughout its lifetime. BBC Four Scotland was different from the previous channel, the channel would be more heavily promoted with more new and original programming.

On 31 December 2013, an HD version of the channel was launched.

On 30 January 2019, it was announced that the channel would cease operations on 12 February 2019, ahead of BBC Two Scotland's closure on 17 February. The reason of the closure was because of low ratings and the BBC wanting to merge the channel into BBC One Scotland's schedule.

The channel was shut down on 12 February 2019 and was replaced by a one-hour time-shifted version of BBC One Scotland, while it's HD simulcast was replaced by a revival of BBC Choice, which that channel was replaced by BBC Three 16 years prior to the relaunch.
