If the date decided, can anyone record the "last" ITV EN bulletin on STV and first STV News "full hour" bulletin, as well as ITV EN bulletin on the same day it launches?

If ITV LN has a promo for EN, can anyone also record the promo on that day?

Bit early for cap requests, innit?

STV, which owns the ITV1 licences for central and north Scotland, has increasingly opted out of a raft of ITV plc-produced network programmes, such as The Bill and Doc Martin, in a bid to save money and boost homegrown commissions.

Not sure if this has been mentioned earlier in the thread, but it confirms the plans to downgrade the former Grampian patch to a shorter regional bulletin, but to increase the number of sub-regions with the shorter duration. Not sure if this is tied to the hour-long 1800-1900 Scottish show, or whether they'll do it anyway...
