The altogether catchphrase is an odd one - I'm sure if you asked most people on the street what the hell they were on about, they wouldn't know.

They either need to publicise the STV website as the step forward beyond their TV franchise, at which point they need constant adverts with that as a slogan, or drop it altogether. At the moment it's too cryptic and the newspaper adverts and completely out of touch and unhelpful.

It is an inaccurate, confusing and stupid catchphrase. SOME continuity announcers need to learn the difference between “altogether” and all together. Take a couple of recent announcements; “now we’re all together for Emmerdale” and “now all together swing that club.” The aforementioned examples can only be all together and not “altogether.” The first announcement on stv for me meant, we are all together Scotland, and not we are “altogether Scotland.” As far as I am concerned, it is altogether daft.


And not forgetting -Altogether Boring- does it realy matter.

STV is to launch a broadband television service this autumn which will make thousands of hours of programmes, such as Rebus, Taggart and High Road, available over the web.

The Glasgow-based broadcaster says the new channel, called Scotlandontv.tv will make use of a back catalogue stretching back 50 years.

Donald Emslie, the acting chief executive of Scottish Media Group, owner of STV, said: "We will launch this on a Scotland-wide basis and really drive Scottish content."

SMG is increasingly targeting the web as a way of making money. It launched a financial comparison website www.peopleschampion.com and relaunched its own website, stv.tv to offer some paid-for services.

Like ITV, stv seem to have settled on a couple of idents which get repeatedly used. However, in the last couple of days they seem to be using my favourite more and more.

I love that one. Great music - and for some reason I think that spud-faced little monkey is quite nice.

Stv are running a badly edited ITV trailer for Cracker, which returns next Sunday. They have removed ITV from the promo, but have not replaced it with stv. The result is the following;
