As commissioner, Scott and fellow CRTC member William Callahan opposed CRTC's 29 July 1997 granting of the last FM broadcast band in Toronto to CBC because "an Afro-Canadian music station would better serve the public interest in Canada's largest city, which has a 200,000-strong Caribbean community".

Scott was a professor at Ryerson University's School of Journalism in 1989. She was part of the board of directors of the Michener Awards Foundation from 1986 to 1994, serving as its president from 1991 to 1993.
