Is it just me or is the stv news presentation and content very stale, I've been watching recently and to me its very stale. Also the presenters on the weekend bulletins and the daybreak bulletins are in my opinion dreadful.


The look its self is not Stale, but could do with a bit a paint etc or a new desk for Edinburgh...

Isn't the Weekend and daybreak presenters training up for the new STV local services?

It was Laura Miller on last night's bulletin, which was an oddity as its usually Lucy Whyte. I haven't seen Louise Aitken on the bulletins for a while. Has she moved on elsewhere?

The quality of the Bulletins are fine, but the few new presenters I've seen recently e.g Susan Ripoll was dreadful. And also the 8 bulletin had a presenter I'd never seen before ( I. Forget the name). But, basically my point is that quite a few of the presenters that have popped up recently all sound the same, and feel 'unprofessional'. The only presenter(s) that have been ok I think her name is Kelly Ann Woodland? And Laura White, but the others as I. Said. Weren't. That good (in my opinion)

STV East have got a new sports presenter, Paul Barnes. He is a total newcomer or has he been elsewhere before?

He appears to have come from BBC Late Kick Off Yorkshire & Lincolnshire.
This is his showreel:

Found out that he was at BBC Scotland Sport where he was responsible for the output across Reporting Scotland, Sportsound, online and outside broadcasts...

I quite liked Susan Ripoll, to be frank.

She reminded me of Carrie Bradshaw, for some bizarre reason. Perhaps the eyes. However, a good presenter, I thought.

Gordon Chree: I really like him. As I've said before, he has that connectivity about him.

What a nice refreshing change to have Claire Stewart on Scotland Tonight. Although I imagine Claire is only presenting due to the Glasgow holiday...
