Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop says the overall strategic thinking and the accountability to the Scottish Parliament, as well as the service level agreements, should be included in the charter.

Labour MSP Mark Griffin asks about a federal structure of the BBC and how much of the budget would be taken up by procuring network programmes.

Ms Hyslop says Dr Who and Sherlock are seen by countries across the world.

The culture minister says in terms of the spend you would be paying into the overall pot in a federal system. 

Ms Sturgeon's speech in August was heavily criticised by opposition parties. 

Liz Smith, culture spokeswoman for the Scottish Conservatives said: "Instead of focusing on much-loved programmes like Strictly or Eastenders, the SNP's vision for the BBC is for millions of pounds of licence fee funds to be diverted to pay for as yet unspecified programmes which accord with the SNP's national story." 

Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Apart from the conspiracy theorists in the SNP, people value the broadcaster which is seen as an oracle of impartiality across the world."   

Scottish Labour's democracy spokeswoman, Claire Baker, said: "If we want to be truly bold and radical then we need to look at the challenges facing the BBC in the years ahead. 

"This is not the creation of new 'Scottish only' stations but rather how BBC content is viewed and shared and how the corporation stays relevant in a time of smartphones, streaming and social media." 

Ms Hyslop says the value from the BBC is very strong.

The culture secretary says there could be more distribution from Scotland.

She says there should be more online platforms from Scotland.

The minister says other countries seem to get better value in terms of stations and channels.

It is also the content that has the impact, says Ms Hyslop.

Last August First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called for the BBC to greatly enhance its presence in Scotland. 

In a speech at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Nicola Sturgeon said BBC Scotland should be given more influence and a greater slice of the licence fee. 

And she called for a new BBC Scotland TV channel to be created alongside a second English-language radio station. 

Ms Sturgeon also said the corporation had not been institutionally biased during the independence referendum. 

But she said there had been "occasions when its coverage - through oversight, apparent ignorance of the detail of an issue or as a result of simply following the agenda of openly partisan print media - lapsed from the objective output the referendum deserved into what could seem partial and, at times, pejorative." 

The BBC said it recognised a demand for greater representation and portrayal of Scottish audiences on BBC services. 

Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop says she understands there was a view expressed in a plan to the BBC to be bold and ambitious, to have an additional TV channel and radio content as well. 

Ms Hyslop says the restrictions imposed on the BBC's budget led to that being drawn back from.

She says the idea of an additional channel has been supported by this parliament and it is disappointing that was not supported by the BBC in the charter renewal process.

Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop says the Scottish government is suggesting a federal structure for the BBC, which would be a "win, win for viewers in Scotland".

Ms Hyslop says this is not about trying to control the BBC in Scotland.

The culture secretary says the BBC must think about Scotland in a different way.

She says: "We want the BBC to be structured in a way that better reflects the regions and the nations it serves."

The minister says there should be new digital and radio channels.

Ms Hyslop says she wants a federal structure to achieve these goals. 

The Education and Culture Committee convener Stewart Maxwell introduces Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop.

The culture secretary is joined by Laura Turney and Duncan Whitehead from the Scottish government.   

Last October Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop outlined the Scottish government's proposals for a new federal BBC at a meeting with the corporation's head, external. 

Ms Hyslop spoke to Tony Hall about the SNP's wishes to see the BBC operate under a new federal structure. 

The party is also calling for the creation of new TV and radio channels for Scotland. 

A BBC spokesman said it recognised that there was audience demand for "greater representation". 

The next charter will form the basis for BBC operations over the next decade. 

There will now be a brief suspension before Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop gives evidence on the BBC's charter renewal.

Committee convener Stewart Maxwell asks about the amount of autonomy that BBC Scotland has and its future success.

Mr Maxwell asks for an outline on the view of further devolution of the BBC to BBC Scotland.

Lord Hall says he feels very strongly that those services for Scotland should be nurtured and the performance should be assessed.

The changes and the balance of these services should be determined in Scotland he says.

The director general says there is then another set of relationships as to how to best to work with a unitary board, if that is decided apon, to allow BBC Scotland to have a powerful voice.

SNP MSP Gordon Macdonald asks about how much of budget on a lift and shift programme must be spent for it to be made in Scotland.

BBC's managing director of finance and operations Anne Bulford says that is down to Ofcom's criteria.  

Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur asks about the World Service.

Lord Hall says he believes together the UK has a powerful voice through the World Service.

He says he was pleased to get £85m for World Service as an example of soft power.   

Conservative MSP Mary Scanlon asks about whether the BBC is keeping pace with changes in Scotland.

Lord Hall says in news and portrayal there is more to be done.

BBC's director general says he wants to make sure the support we have for public service broadcasting in Scotland continues. 

Mr MacQuarrie details the experiences of apprentices in BBC Scotland.

Lord Hall says Britain needs to get much better at coding, which is why digitial trainees are being brought into the BBC.  

The BBC's director general says he wants a creative review of where we are with BBC Alba and build on the "really good partnership" that is in place. 

Lord Hall says one measure of success of the BBC in developing creative industries would be the value brought to the creative economy.

SNP MSP Colin Beattie asks what the current strategy is for developing creative industries in Scotland.

Mr MacQuarrie says there is an ongoing dialogue with Creative Scotland and the industry on this issue.

SNP MSP Gordon Macdonald asks about the disparity between 61% of Scotland's local output is news,whereas it is 15% in the network.

BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie says in terms of the total services of the BBC, news is a higher percentage in Scotland.

Mr MacQuarrie says the right balance needs to be considered.

Mr Mawell asks about programmes specifically commissioned by BBC Scotland for the network

Mr MacQuarrie says for BBC1  the opt out cost is £49.4m locally, including cash budget and all the sports rights and other rights.

For BBC2 opt out it is £18.5m for 2014-15, says Mr MacQuarrie.

With news costs of £15m removed, the figure is approximately £35m direct cash spend says Mr MacQuarrie, 

That would be £51m across both BBC1 and BBC2.
