Reputation

Eòrpa hit the headlines in May 2008, specially mentioned in the Scottish Broadcasting Commission report. 'It was intriguing to note that without fail at every one of our public events BBC2 Scotland's Eòrpa programme was raised, unsolicited, and by non-Gaelic speakers, as an example of a positive, well-respected programme' - Blair Jenkins, Chair - Scottish Broadcasting Commission [ [http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news/display.var.2309855.0.0.php?act=complaint&cid=1608872 The Herald - Scotland's Leading Quality Daily Newspaper ] ] The programme is an argument for Gaelic broadcasting and the Gaelic Digital Service as the programme attracts well over the amount of Gaelic speakers. Tam Cowan, a Scottish journalist stated whilst taking to Cathy MacDonald on Off the Ball that he was a fan of Eòrpa.
