Oh dear - well that is disappointing information. I had thought a studio was kitted out like the existing opt outs from reading 623058's post.
Well I'm sure he won't mind me saying, sometimes you can come away from reading 623058's posts and not have a clue what exactly is being said.
They do need some LED wash lights on the grey panels, don't they. Or some texture or trim on the flats. Or fluorescent backlit boxes. Something. Its lacking something.
I do remember there has been talk of this Highlands opt on the STV north Blogs, top of that why gutting out the studio, with the same back drop style as the opts? might I add a lot of re-wiring?
maybe its not fully operation yet but there are plans somewhere for this, this did come from STV:, on more than one occasion
With regard to last week's refresh, the actual content, pace and presentation are fine, so are the new titles and graphics, and the rear-projected images are OK. But the set: Oh my goodness. It's dire. One of the news packages from the other night featured a clip from a Scotland Today set of maybe ten years ago and it looked infinitely superior. I mean do Rob Woodward and Alan Clements look at the STV News and think, 'hey, that looks great!'? Despite the space constraints, so much more could be done.

The Inverness studio has not been seen on air for some time...as I said earlier most of the live pieces are done on location now. The studio is just a plain backdrop down the line single camera job. It is time though that stv woke up and started to treat its North veiwers with some respect!
Alas, and for some bizarre reason, that site won't play video in my region! So, what exactly do they say about TVF at the end of the clip, Gaz?
I'm going to have to rely on your good old-fashioned written down transcript! Thanks in advance.
Basically just saying that TV Forum and others will have their comments on the new set, and John also said to get in touch via Twitter at @RealMacKaySTV for comments and feedback.
it does not seem to be in the collection with is a shame also missing is the one from 19 August 2008
