BBC Scotland cuts coverage of Edinburgh's festivals
It will be staging only five days of events with ticketed audiences after deciding to share space with the Pleasance Courtyard and the EICC. Stand-up comedian Mark Nelson will also be returning with a festivals highlights programme, Edinburgh Unlocked, for the BBC Scotland channel. Read more: More than 100 shows have recorded or broadcast live across at least two weeks by the BBC since it started running its own pop-up venue during the summer festivals in 2011. The line-up had gradually expanded to include programmes for the UK radio network, the BBC Scotland TV channel and Radio Scotland, the iPlayer and the BBC Sounds platform. BBC Scotland is based at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. (Image: Newsquest) The BBC's pop-up venue drew thousands of ticket-holders to the visitor attraction Dynamic Earth every day during the 2023 and 2024 festivals. Special guests included singer-songwriters Kyle Falconer, Richard Jobson and Tom Robinson, authors Denise Mina, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Andrew O'Hagan, actors Brian Cox, Jack Docherty and Miriam Margolyes, comics Connor Burns, Frank Skinner and Susie McCabe, and theatre-makers Cora Bissett, Kieran Hurley and Gary McNair. The BBC's pop-up venue was previously set up in the grounds of George Heriot's School, and at sites at Potterrow and High School Yards. Stars who appeared in shows included comics Paul Merton, Nicholas Parsons, Tim Vine, Lucy Porter, Susan Calman and Russell Kane, writers Jackie Kay, Louise Welsh, Stig Abell and Alexander McCall Smith, and singer-songwriters Edwyn Collins and Rachel Sermanni. The cuts in coverage of the Edinburgh festivals, which have emerged a few months into the tenure of new BBC Scotland director Hayley Valentine. A spokesperson for the BBC said: "The BBC will return to the Edinburgh festivals with shows coming from the EICC and the Pleasance Courtyard between August 4 and 8. "Our coverage will include ticketed events for audiences to attend recordings and live broadcasts of BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 4 shows. "Edinburgh Unlocked presented by Mark Nelson will also return to the BBC Scotland channel, giving audiences a backstage pass to all the best of the Fringe and the wider festivals. "We will also continue to provide special reports from the Edinburgh festivals across news tv, radio and online throughout August. "Details of our programming line-up will be announced in due course.' The scaling back of Edinburgh's festivals coverage has emerged following a number of recent controversies over the BBC's output in Scotland. There was anger last year over a shake-up in Radio Scotland's music programming and its impact on long-running specialist shows on jazz, classical music and piping. The BBC also came came under fire when it announced that its hour-long news programme The Nine would be scrapped just five years after its launch on a new BBC Scotland channel and replaced with a new early evening show, The Seven, which was launched in January. However fresh controversy erupted in March when the BBC announced that it would be bringing the long-running drama series River City to an end, with the budget for the show redirected towards three dramas. More than 12,000 supporters have backed a petition to save the show, while a politicians joined cast and crew to stage a protest outside the Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood. The BBC said the show, which has been on air since 2002 and is due to end in the autumn of 2026, was no longer offering "value for money." The BBC spokesperson added: "The BBC works within an increasingly competitive marketplace and tight budget constraints. "We have to make tough decisions to ensure we are delivering value for money which inevitably means evolving our offer accordingly whilst remaining committed to covering the Edinburgh festivals across all platforms."

Why is the BBC cutting coverage of Edinburgh's festivals?
A dedicated pop-up venue to host live broadcasts and recordings has been dropped, despite thousands of ticket-holders flocking to shows and events over the three-week festival. Read more: The BBC, which launched its own venue in 2011, will instead use spaces at the Pleasance Courtyard and the EICC for a scaled-down programme. The BBC had gradually expanded its summer festivals coverage by making some of its best-known Radio Scotland and UK network radio programmes at the pop-up site. But the cultural celebration appears to have fallen victim to a long-running spending squeeze within the BBC, which has been lobbying for reform of the licence fee ahead of its current charter ending in 2027. The BBC's income is said to have fallen by around 30 per cent in real terms since 2010 because the licence fee has not been increased in line with inflation. Director-general Tim Davie, who told the Scottish Parliament in January that the broadcaster was having to operate under 'very tight financial constraints." The BBC has revealed that it is having to make around £700 million worth of annual savings to balance its books. Earlier this month Mr Davie made a fresh call for reform of the licence fee and called for an investigation into the impact of what he described as 'begrudging, grinding cuts.' BBC Scotland has become embroiled in a number of controversies over its output in Scotland, most recently after announcing plans to bring the long-running soap opera River City to an end. More than 12,000 supporters have backed a petition to save the show, while a politicians joined cast and crew to stage a protest outside the Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood.

Trove's Jen Rubio Acquires Independent Retailer The Seven, Joining Forces With Founder Camille Zarsky
Trove, the New York–based fine jewelry store, known for its uniquely crafted jewelry boxes, has acquired The Seven, the West Village multibrand boutique known for its jewelry curation, founded by Camille Zarsky. Trove was founded by Melbourne-based designer Hannah Ward in 2020 and opened its first U.S. flagship in New York in 2024. That same year, Jen Rubio, cofounder and former chief executive officer of luggage brand Away, joined Ward as strategic business partner and investor to support the U.S. expansion. Since then, the jewelry box creator has expanded into fine jewelry with an artist-in-residence program, initially with high jeweler Fernando Jorge, and continues to grow the category adding Sophie Bille Brahe, Beck, Howl, and more. More from WWD Roberto Coin Taps Dakota Johnson as Global Brand Ambassador Mikey Madison Marked the Opening of Tiffany & Co.'s Largest Store in Europe EXCLUSIVE: Cycle Care Brand Rael Expands Retail Assortment at Walmart, Ulta Beauty and Walgreens 'Camille and I knew of each other for a while through the jewelry world, and properly connected in New York a few months ahead of Trove's opening,' explained Rubio — who acquired a majority stake in Trove in January with Ward stepping away from day-to-day operations — of her connection to The Seven's Zarsky. 'From our first conversation, it was clear we shared a deep respect for craftsmanship and a belief in curating with integrity and emotion. We kept returning to the idea that there's space for something more personal and boundary-pushing in fine jewelry, so this partnership happened very naturally.' Zarsky says the two entrepreneurs were building different but aligned visions, 'when we finally sat down together, it felt less like a meeting and more like a creative exchange. We talked about where the market is headed, where it's too safe, and what women like us are truly looking for. It was energizing, and quickly obvious that we wanted to build something together.' When she joined Trove as an investor, Rubio saw a brand that could evolve 'into a broader platform for design, curation and creative incubation.' The acquisition of The Seven, she added, is a strategic and creative decision that helps accelerate that. 'I've always admired what Camille built with The Seven — it's more than a store; it's a sensibility,' Rubio said. In a short time, The Seven has gained momentum with its tightly edited selection of independent fine jewelry brands led by Zarsky's strategy of focusing on storytelling and one-of-a-kind pieces. As part of the merger, The Seven's Bleecker Street storefront will close in July, though a curated presence will continue in New York through the fall. Zarsky will join Trove as an adviser, contributing to the brand's creative direction and growth. 'Winding down The Seven's storefront will give me the freedom to be even more creative and daring with future projects,' Zarsky explained of the move. One such project: Rubio is backing Zarsky in a forthcoming design venture 'rooted in fine jewelry but [expanding] into adjacent categories,' Zarsky explained. 'We're still finalizing details, but it will be an extension of the values that Camille and I share — elevated design, emotional storytelling, and intentional luxury,' Rubio said. 'It won't be just about products; it's about building a world.' 'One of the biggest lessons I've learned is the power of clarity: on values, vision and pace,' Rubio said from her time scaling Away. 'I'm bringing that same intentionality to this partnership. As we partner with Camille, we're being deliberate: protecting the magic while providing the right foundation for growth.' When asked how they plan to differentiate their new venture in an increasingly competitive luxury retail market, Zarsky said she is not about chasing trends. 'I want to create something rooted in permanence, not seasonality. We're thinking about longevity, rarity and emotional connection.' 'Joining forces with Trove allows me to scale the spirit of The Seven while being part of something bigger,' Zarsky continued. 'I'm especially excited to collaborate with and learn from Jen, whose vision and experience as a builder are incredibly inspiring. There's so much more we can do together.'
