There is never a good time to be asking for money.
It is always a bad time when you are needing money but Broadcasting Scotland now needs to raise money so we can secure our future, improve our facilities, and be ready to broadcast whatever 2020 brings, from our studio in Glasgow and live from across Scotland.
