Sorry if I'm a bit behind the times here, but what happened to the proposals from a while back for a full STV News hour including UK and international news, and replacing the ITV Evening News north of the border?
I think that plan also depended on the regional news subsidy going ahead. It got as far as some mock up images in the newspapers and (possibly) some pilots but one presumes it was scrapped after STV failed to win the contract (it went to a newspaper consortium). All this is presumably null and void now anyway after the coalition scrapped the scheme.
