REMEMBER ITV are broadcasting this tonight at 22.40.
There's nothing like live. I want to see the inevitable rambling audience member or the hard-line audience member exploding with loyalty to their side as it happens.
Still, I should have realised that they would have had little chance to make any real changes for this time round, and gone with the Sky box from the start (which I prefer anyway).

Nothing like a bit of branding! A large STV logo on each wall, one large logo on the floor and one in the title sequence.
I think I just spotted someone in the audience wearing a James t-shirt - as there was during the BBC debate. Is this A Thing now?

Well this is a turn up for the book:s
STV says its offer of a programme putting the Prime Minister in front of undecided voters ahead of the independence referendum remains on the table.
The statement from the broadcaster came as David Cameron claimed at Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday that STV "ran away" from the idea of a referendum show with him.
The question was raised in the Commons when SNP MP Angus Robertson criticised Mr Cameron for saying he would take part in a STV programme with undecided voters ahead of the referendum.
STV has confirmed an extensive overnight results programme on Thursday 18 September, presented by Bernard Ponsonby and Aasmah Mir, with live reports from all 32 declarations across Scotland and complemented by in-depth online coverage on stv.tv throughout the night.
On the day of the crucial vote, Thursday 18 September, STV will bring viewers comprehensive programming starting with a special edition of STV News at Ten at 2200, presented live from Edinburgh by John MacKay, which will mark the end of the referendum campaign and report the story of Scotland’s historic vote, with coverage from across Scotland.
From 2240 until 0600, STV will broadcast an all-night results programme, Scotland Decides. The programme will be hosted by political editor Bernard Ponsonby and TV and radio presenter Aasmah Mir with a panel of leading politicians, commentators and analysts, and STV’s news teams will report live from all 32 declarations across Scotland as they happen through the night. Extensive online coverage will be provided on stv.tv with result updates and analysis throughout the night.
Scotland Decides will be broadcast across the ITV network, and STV News at Ten will be broadcast by ITV Border Scotland.
During week beginning Monday 15 September, STV’s news programme STV News at Six will be presented from Holyrood by John MacKay bringing the key referendum news to viewers across the country.
On Friday 19 September at 0600, following its overnight results programme, STV will air Scotland This Morning – How the Nation Voted, hosted by John MacKay and Andrea Brymer. The programme will examine the outcome of the historic vote with reactions from around the country as Scotland wakes up to the result.
Friday’s coverage continues with a special half hour edition of STV News at 1330 followed by an hour long STV News at Six, presented from Holyrood and covering all the latest developments and featuring live reports from across Scotland and Westminster.
Finally, a special edition of Scotland Tonight presented by Rona Dougall will air at 2230 on Friday 19 September, bringing full analysis of the vote and political reaction, and a half hour long STV News Special will air on Saturday 20 September at 1830.
Impressive. The overnight programme is being broadcast by ITV as well. Didn't think that would happen.
As much as I like John MacKay, it seems like Norman Macleod, Laura Miller and to an extent, Andrea Brymer are being side-lined in what will be one of the biggest weeks in Scottish political history.

Well he is the chief anchor for STV by default...?
Andrea and Norman are from the old Grampian region, meaning that John was in place before they were part of STV.
Laura has only just taken up her post, and the East opt is just that, an opt.
There isn't really anything for the others to do anyway...
It's always Andrea that presents with John for all big Scottish parliamentary things, and Andrea actually started at Scottish in 1994 (same year as John MacKay) before going up North in 2002. I had an inkling that Network would STV's coverage as it seems the most logical thing to do.
Also it's good that Border are letting viewers see STV News for it's Scottish viewers although I notice it's just for the 10pm and not the 6pm as well.

Andrea not being sideline she will also be presenting along side with John on the three main programmes on Friday. Norman never works a Friday just like 2007 and 2011..
I dont see why the results programme needs to start straight at way at 10.40, STV could have slotted in a programme between 10.30- 11pm.
