STV News bulletins will be pan-regional this week, from Glasgow.

Gareth Joy (@lookoutwales2) asked Chris Harvey:
"Curious question RE bulletins over Xmas - are they going to be pan-regional once again this year?"

Chris (@ChristopherHarv) replied:
"Yes, but just for a week, between Christmas and New Year. They're coming from Glasgow again, purely to do with refurb at ABZ."

I'm guessing this will mean the same look for Aberdeen now (set/titles/graphics). Also, it looks like STV News will be off air on Monday 2 January, while Regional News in England & Wales goes ahead. I assume this is because it's a bank holiday in Scotland on Tuesday 3 January, unlike the rest of the UK.


What has a refurb at Aberdeen airport got to do with stv north.....ha ha!!!


It is a great pity that during the pan region broadcasts that some North name places could not be added to the big screen images!? I must admit I also find the set awful....I only hope that North's will be different?!


There is always North name places during on the normal Central images. If you look closely you'll see that, Kirkwall and Lerwick to name just a couple.

Any more info on the alleged refurb?? Maybe they were speaking of the reception or maybe the loos got a lick of emulsion.....although I doubt stv would spend money like that on the North studio!!!

They have no regard at all for North Scotland viewers!!!

It was a technical refurb last month, and according to Chris Harvey on Twitter, a new set could be in place by late February.

I guess it will be the new technical equipment required to replace all the jobs that was lost at the tail end of last year? I wonder if all three regions will get a new set now the trial period is over......surely the current ones in Glasgow and Edinburgh could be improved on now the split is permenent??

This still means Edinburgh will be poor mans studio. I still found it bland and empty, maybe a bigger /nicer desk would help?

I guessed something was up when the Tayside opt came from the newsroom in Dundee last week.......It must be getting a makeover too??

Inverness opt too maybe although I doubt it?!?

So is Dundee going the same way as Edinburgh or is it remaining as an Opt within the North programme?
