BBC insiders are reportedly concerned that some high-profile reporters and presenters, such as James Cook and Martin Geissler, may jump ship as the corporation’s new £32m Scottish channel turns in disastrous ratings, according to The Sunday Times.

It’s flagship news programme, The Nine, hit a ratings low of 4,000 last month. It’s claimed that behind-the-scenes tensions are threatening to alienate some of BBC Scotland’s best talent.
