Sky, Virgin, and the BBC share about 2.5 billion pounds of Scots money p.a.
Its not added to Scots GDP.
They are preventing Scotlands media output being at least like that of Ireland, or as large as Denmarks.
Preventing 3-4 times more broadcasting and filming jobs in Scotland.

Each of them have a single medium of broadcast, protected monopolies - by oligopoly.
Sky - Satellite.
Virgin - Cable.
BBC - Over the terrestrial air, plus rebroadcast on the above which Govt regulate.

Sky, formerly owned by the "king maker" Rupert Murdoch, is now USA owned. As is Virgin Media formerly Branson investment fund.

All are of course anti Scottish independence - for that would in theory mean a shake up in broadcasting, that would rid Scotland of not just 2 other nations controlling the airwaves and political narrative with it, but also open their mediums up to proper competition/lower prices
And by this point, the penny should have dropped why Broadcasting will never be devolved to Scotland.
