Background

MG ALBA delivers the BBC ALBA platforms in partnership with the BBC. We support an active and sustainable Gaelic media sector through funding, commissioning and developing production, skills and talent. From our headquarters in Stornoway, MG ALBA oversees the day-to-day operations of BBC ALBA including post-production support, scheduling and quality control.

MG ALBA also oversee the successful FilmG and LearnGaelic brands.

MG ALBA is the operating name of Seirbheis nam Meadhanan Gàidhlig, or Gaelic Media Service, which was formed under the Communications Act 2003.

This replaced Comataidh Craolaidh Gàidhlig (CCG), or the Gaelic Broadcasting Committee, which itself was renamed under the Broadcasting Act 1996. Prior to that the body was known as Comataidh Telebhisein Gàidhlig (CTG), the Gaelic Television Committee, established under the Broadcasting Act 1990.
