Scottish pres discussion Thread

Note:

STV has updated its Coronation street ident

Also BBC Scotland has a nice BBC Scotland promo for its ship building programme tonight.

The NEW 2014 BGT ident has appeared. Also BGT is now at 8pm with STV now showing Your been framed.

Delayed due to the soccer being shown on ITV[1] I assume.

I take it everything will run 45mins late? or will something be chopped?

STV are now filling up the advert slots with promos and promos including "Place to be promo" Ie to promote the channel and Scotland Tonight promo, etc

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does stv not have the rights to the football shown on ITV tonight? i wouldn't know as i'm not a football fan.

There have the rights to European football etc but STV don't have the rights for FA cup.

At least STV won't have that issue next season with delays due to the FA cup.

That would be more useful in the sport thread.

Correct, my error 623058.

Talking about sport, but related to STV, someone told me that STV closed its sports department down. Is this true? I have to admit, STV are not showing highlights of the RaboDirect Pro12 (That's the Celtic League Rugby Union) this season. So is it true?

As far as I know, the sports department was closed down a while ago, with Rugby highlights and STV-only live football being produced by the STV News department.

So the three sports presenters are all based within the news department? Its a shame STV cant get the rights to any highlight show, such as Football, Rugby etc.
