- You've Been Framed (30 mins) is on STV only, at 7pm.
- Ninja Warrior UK (60 mins) starts at 7pm on ITV, but at 7:30pm on STV.
- Take Me Out (60 mins) is on ITV only, at 8pm.
- Harry Potter film (2.5 hours) starts at 8:30pm on STV, but at 9pm on ITV.
- Therefore STV's late news/new year whatnot is from 11pm onward (STV News first, then Hogmanay from 11:15pm), whereas ITV's equivalent offering is from 11:30pm.
So, it does indeed look like nothing ITN-produced will be showing in STV land after the teatime bulletin.
Will the Take Me Out Celebrity special never get an airing on STV then? Doesn't look like a repeat based on the schedule, and as this is a non-standard night STV can't just dump it post-Scotland Tonight as they ordinarily would. The one thing I've found Digital Spy useful for is a thread which has kept track of which series STV has decided not to show at all this year (which conveniently I can't currently find!)- for some of the shows listed it seems odd they don't bother showing them, especially as they could be slotted in and at least get an airing at times of the year where only repeats are showing in primetime. Looking at the schedule, I've always thought STV should perhaps rejig the entire schedule a bit more rather than they just either not show a programme at all, or air it in a graveyard slot.
They might as well repeat the magazine shows from STV Glasgow/Edinburgh overnight.

Just to say there is NO special ident for the voice, nor break bumpers this week. It seems STV doesn't think highly of this show?. There is always next week?

Noticed that too and was just about to post the same comment. It does feel as though STV lacks confidence in Saturday night's main show.
