An admin error.......!!!

No excuse, STV. New studio or not, you still have to pay your bills like the rest of us!

I hope by giving them the snip you mean cutting the electrics off and not Scottish Power giving all male workers at Pacific Quay a vasectomy... Laughing

Worse case scenario.

If STV did go off air, would viewers get ITV 1 as a default?

Same thing happened to TVam in the very early days. They were having some press do in their reception when the man from the electricity board arrived to cut them off Laughing

Hard to tell - if Pacific Quay had no power they wouldn't be able to switch the feed to London. They'd probably have to change it at the transmitter.

But I highly doubt that would ever happen anyway.
