Garry? You there mate? Confused I've had some sort of news from Rangers fans, that Jane has ALREADY started her job at Celtic TV (no caps or pics to prove it however), even though - if she was to be starting at all - she wasn't meant to be starting till the end of July. Sad

If you feel up to it, you could maybe update that section on Jane in Wilkipedia. Rolling Eyes

Sure, no bother. So, does she work at Sky News, or is it just Celtic TV?

Not a clue. Rolling Eyes

Celtic TV is run by Setanta (using STV's production facilities!), and is broadcast on the SKY platform - but I asked the Gers fans if they had seen any pics, reports etc by Jane on SSN lately, and I was told she's now on Celtic TV. Confused

So, I get home from work on Friday, turn on Scotland Today. I can’t believe my eyes and ears. Here is Scotland’s flagship news programme (their words) – 2 presenters (both male!!) asking viewers to e-mail the show saying if they should open 2 letters, written by Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock!!!!! or not. Sorry, did I stumble into the Scottish Richard and Judy show? Is Steven Jardine (one of the presenter) still thinking he is perched up on the roof with “Room at the top”?
I just don’t get the logic behind this.

Is it just me, did I miss the point???

I sent an e-mail to an stv insider, asking if the picture below was a scale model of the new Scotland Today set.

He replied:
"Looks a bit starship enterprise in the model!"

More autocue problems this afternoon. Heather is coping well.

EDIT: OMG. Rae Stuart is newsreading tonight with Heather. What is the matter with John, Stephen and Louise?
Shouldn't Rae be in England?

Personally, I'm glad to see them go. I could never understand a word Julyan said, and Sarah was just wooden.

Thank god they're gone Razz - Julyan wasn't very good at all Rolling Eyes , and Sarah O was just plain awful not to mention the fact that she might just have been there for her looks Shocked .

But here's another thing folks:

Anyone spot something shocking in the MEDIAWATCH section in the Sundayherald the day? Confused SMG are bringing in 11 new staff to Glasgow Newsroom! Shocked One of them: Steven Godden is tranferring from Aberdeen Newsroom! Sad

I would have posted a link to it, but I can't find one. Embarassed

Ewan Petrie is doing the lunchtime bulletin. He looks so nervous.
What is the matter with the four main newsreaders?

How dumb am I? I only just learned that Heather Simpson's maiden name is McGinty.
Look at how different she looks now, compared to 4 years ago:
