Also there will be a number of stories that will have been prepared the day before ready for the breakfast show especially items where the news release has an embargo placed upon it.

Also quite a few stories will come from the emergency services media lines - and so will be brief and will not always take long to write.

Cap from a bulletin this morning. I notice the reporters sign off as "GMTV Scotland" rather than Grampian though.

the GMTV Scotland outcue is probably to make sharing material between the STV and Grampian services easier.

Looks good though - one or two teething problems with timeing etc but all in all a good effort!!!

Does anyone have any captures of what STV or UTV's GMTV bulletins look like? Do they look like GMTV News?

You can see the latest GMTV News NI bulletin at www.macmillanmedia.co.uk (go to the bottom of the page).

Just had a quick look round umpteen pages of that site. Plenty of info about the GMTV NI (& Scotland) bulletins, but I see no obvious link to actually watch them?

When I click on the "Broadcast Centre" link, I get a "the webpage cannot be found" type of page.

So you missed that huge video player at the bottom of the screen ?

(Although in fairness, it's a virtually-black shade of grey, on an entirely black-backgrounded webpage...)

And I can't see or hear anything whenever I press the play button. It's just blank:

Ha ha - I bet they think the area is still called Grampian.

Genuinely though - why the hell would they do that?

Reporting Scotland the best for Scottish news - GMTV/STV is dreadful!

Because it works better for the area!

It was GMTV SCOTLAND this morning at 6.30 with a view of the Clyde - have they been told to change it I wonder??

Are these bulletins filmed in Scotland or elsewhere?

Macmillan has set up a studio in Glasgow for the GMTV contract.

Don't start me on the Reporting Scotland v Scotland Today debate again.

Reporting Scotland is a tedious, press release/Scottish Executive-domianted, autopilot show which desperately tries to cover every single part of a massive geographical area and fails to cover any of it adequately.

STV may be rough and ready but does a far better job on a billionth of the budget, and at least SMG was willing to offer sub-opts - something the publicly funded BBC seems unable to do.
