The BBC hopes to make a significant increase in investment in Gaelic broadcasting as part of the language's proposed digital channel. Mark Thomson, the corporation's director general, spoke of the hopes during a visit to the Western Isles.

Mr Thomson said more money would be spent than at present on Gaelic output.
