Information from the Sky thread:
Both appear to be separate streams, but STV Edinburgh has become a direct copy of STV Glasgow in preparation for STV2.

TTHR has a weekend 5ep omnibus, starting off where STVE was. Glaswegians will have to wait to catch up again.

That just seems strange, since there could easy push out it at 4pm. Mind you Ayr, Aberdeen and Dundee will all be missing the first 500eps.

Appears there's only one STV2 stream for Glasgow on STV Player.

It seems the idents use the people form the Promo.

If there is only one stream across all areas then that makes it even less local than STV itself and defeats the object somewhat of local television, not than an STV2 for the whole of Scotland (minus Border of course!) isn't a bad idea.

It seems the idents are a mix of new ones and the existing ones.

I'm a little confused. STV seem to have taken the channels they developed for the 'ultra local channel' initiative, and merged them into a national (Scottish) second channel for themselves. Confused

I took a quick glance at their schedule for tonight, and there is nothing local about it, for today at least.

Can they use the Freeview LCN and bandwidth for a channel if it doesn't actually meet the criteria of a 'local channel'?

It looks more like the re-birth of S2, their alternative to ITV2, which closed in 2001 after barely 2 years on air.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I think the idents looks very slick, and the whole presentational concept is fine - but it matches that of a national channel, not a local one.

Could this be an incentive for the likes of 'Made In..." to merge their own local channels into larger regions?
