Telefios
''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. Other Scottish Gaelic news programmes It is sometimes wrongly stated that ''Telefios'' was actually the first Scottish Gaelic news programme. In fact, ''Criomagan'' (meaning "little bits") was broadcast during the late 1980s and early 1990s by Grampian Television. Following the axing of ''Telefios'' in 2000, no Scots Gaelic television news p ...

Derek MacIntosh
Derek is a masculine given name. It is the English language short form of ''Diederik'', the Low Franconian form of the name Theodoric. Theodoric is an old Germanic name with an original meaning of "people-ruler". Common variants of the name are Derrek, Derick, Dereck, Derrick, and Deric. Low German and Dutch short forms of Diederik are Dik, Dirck, and Dirk. History The English form of the name arises in the 15th century, via import from the Low Countries. The native English (Anglo-Saxon) form of the name was ''Deoric'' or ''Deodric'', from Old English ''Þēodrīc'', but this name had fallen out of use in the medieval period. During the Late Middle Ages, there was intense contact between the territories adjacent to the North Sea, in particular due to the activities of the Hanseatic League. As a result, there was a lot of cross-pollination between Low German, Dutch, English, Danish and Norwegian. The given name ''Derk'' is found in records of the Low Countries from the early 1 ...
