Two seconds in to tonight's bulletin and already they've got a wrong caption up while the presenter was reading the news. These mistakes with captions and reports seem to be happening more and more often.
That's because they're now automated and with a system that doesn't work.
No, they haven't updated the website branding yet.
I also note that Newsline, Wales Today and the English regional newsrooms have a webpage for their respective programmes...this has been on the go for ages. I presume that Reporting Scotland will never get this now?
Whats the point? Does the 6 o'clock News require one? Scotland Today? North Tonight?
You can watch Reporting Scotland online (in better quality than any other of the regions and Nations) and you can find all their news stories online - is any more necessary?
Top story last night - Rangers.
Top story during opt out on Breakfast today - Rangers
Top story tonight - Rangers
Is this really the biggest story in Scotland before / after they play? This is a disgrace IMO. Why don't they just rename it either Reporting Rangers or Reporting Glasgow?
And they've had the cheek to bring back the phrase during " your national news ".

I have read else where - STV website forums that there are plans for trail of the Scottish six or something like that.
Fantastically bitchy moment the other night... Jackie to Heather " So Heather is it going to be sunny enough for me to enjoy a glass of wine tomorrow night? "
Heather : " It'll be more than one from what I've heard "
I'm maybe misquoting slightly, but that's basically what was said.
So? The biggest football match in Scottish history for years, course it was the top story. Even more significant than previous finals where a British team have been involved as it is being held in Manchester.
I see that the "BBC Local" websites for Scotland (example) have been brought into line with the orange-on-white headers (etc) look that the English ones have already had for a while.
I'm sure the Scottish local websites previously had a rather different look (although I can't quite remember what. Blue-based, I think?).
But the Welsh ones are still very different looking.
London also doesn't *quite* conform, having a strange mixture of the standard "orange" look, and the existing within-London ("On TV, On Radio, Online") red theme.

Fair enough if a Rangers / Celtic story was the top story for the first time, but frequently football dominates a half hour
news
programme representing a whole nation. And there is more to life than football for some...

Yes, but such events are to even those who are not football fans, important - for Scottish pride, culture AND sport.
