BBC Scotland has dropped their daytime schedule for the foreseeable. They show education programmes from 10am to 11am and then revert back to SCOTSUS (the never ending repeating barker). They then come out of SCOTSUS for FM's statement roughly 12:30pm till 1:15pm and then revert back to SCOTSUS until 7pm. After that, channel runs as normal.

Thanks for clarifying. I was watching BBC Scotland yesterday at 1:50pm, and noticed the barker was still advertising the programme that should have been on at that time!

Have ITV decided to pull Coronation Street’s number of episodes early? I see it’s Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens on at 7.30 tonight.

Not quite, England were due to play tonight, so there wouldn’t have been an episode anyway.

I noticed this yesterday.

I guess they’re doing this because of how rapidly things are changing and announcements made by the Scottish government. It’s easier to pull an information service off air than a programme from BBC 2.

I thought they just simulcast BBC2 in the day anyway?

I hope they leave in the studio footage, like the BBC did when they had a 1997 FA cup match up on the iplayer recently.

ITV just showed a PIF with Chris Witty, almost feels inappropriate to show now he's caught it himself.

Is it a PIF or just COI advertising? It seems to have borrowed its style entirely from a UNICEF ad, which I'm not sure really makes it stand out.

BBC1 have shown the same messages, preceeded by an ident, so I'm assuming it's a PIF rather than paid advertising.

Interesting offer from Roku (directed to US viewers, possibly coming to the UK in a few days)
