As with the local variants of BBC Choice in Northern Ireland and Wales, BBC Choice Scotland carried much of its content from the network BBC Choice service originating in London, but split off most evenings for around two hours a night (generally around 10pm to midnight) of local programming to Scotland.

When the EastEnders rebroadcast aired at 10pm, local programming would begin at 10.30pm.

After around midnight, programming would revert to the network service until brdtime The BBC Choice Scotland service launched alongside the other BBC Choice variants on 23 September 1998[1] and ceased on 30 March 2001; it was replaced by a fully networked BBC Choice.

Until 2012 None of the BBC's other digital services offered regional variants.

Following the closure of BBC Choice's regional variants in 2001, BBC Two's variants for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were made available to digital viewers (previously a single UK-wide version of BBC Two had been available on digital platforms).
