You're completely wrong, I'm afraid. The figures are based on national spending per capita, on things like the BBCNews 24, Radio 1 etc divided by UK population. This produces a figure probably north of 45 quid per person UK wide. Then you add regional spending. This is much higher in NI, Wales and Scotland than in England.The regional part is spent in those regions as you describe. The national bit is spent mainly in London and Manchester, but also overseas on news coverage. Per head, more money is spent *in* England than in NI or Scotland. Not sure about Wales.

You keep saying spending 'in' scotland, but the BBC claim spending 'on' Scotland. Not the same thing at all..Match if the Day is spending 'in' E&W, but it is considered spending 'on' all UK citizens, as it is a nationally broadcast programme. This goes to show how fake these figures are. Of course, the BBC is under political pressure in Scotland, so it's a narrative they want to push. I'm surprised there's anyone out there who would actually believe the BBC spends more per head in Scotland than in England.
