What happens

Telefios was a Scottish Gaelic-language news programme, broadcast on both Grampian Television and Scottish Television from 4 January 1993 until 2000. Its name is a portmanteau of the word fios meaning "knowledge" or "information", and telebhisean ("television"). Although not strictly a local news bulletin, the programme concentrated mainly on Western Isles news, and specifically Gaelic interest news stories from elsewhere. Five-minute bulletins were shown on weekday lunchtimes (and later, in the early evening) while a supplementary half-hour review programme, Telefios na Seachduinn, was broadcast on Saturday lunchtime.
