Dè a-nis? (pronounced: Jaay a-neash) was a Scottish Gaelic-language children's program produced by BBC Gàidhlig. It was broadcast on BBC Alba on Wednesday nights at 6:00pm. "Dè a-nis" is Gaelic for "What Now?"

History
Launched on 30 September 1993 as part of an improved line-up of Scottish Gaelic-language programmes, Dè a-nis? was originally produced by CTG (Commataidh Telebhisein Gàidhlig). Originally, no presenters were used and individual programmes were used to fill up the hour. Until 2011 the programme was broadcast on BBC Two Scotland on Thursdays at 6pm, but with digital switch over the series was broadcast on BBC Alba.

Magazine format
Starting from 1996, a magazine format was used with live presenters, pop music, special reports, cartoons and viewers contacting the show. In 2012, all the cartoons were dropped.

Specials
Dè a-nis? often presented special episodes covering a particular event, such as the opening of Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Inbhir Nis, St. Patrick's Day from Dublin and Galway and the Royal National Mòd.
