Oh no! Shocked Grant and Andy? Oh heck Rolling Eyes The only possible chance that STV had, to make Scotsport history by having a lassie anchor it full time - and what do they do? Blow it! Rolling Eyes

I congratulate them and wish them the best though. Confused Time will tell whether they are going to be successful or not Wink I think if Offside comes back on-air I'll be watching that inside or something on Sky Sports Smile .

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."

I wonder how much this will cost?

No-one appears to have noticed but the bumpers have gone from this at launch:

to this now:

Also, I remember the background on the ECP containg white in the past and being a static image. It's now got the people in the background moving about and frolicking at the beach:

Is this a recent change?

I think the background has always animated on the ECP.

I'm liking the changes above. I was never a fan of that breakbumper.

I noticed, a couple of days ago,
I like the New ones, there much better,

I really like the 'new' colours used in break-bumpers, ECPs and promos. Now they're not so plain.
They have been in use since Monday, 2nd October.

I like the new style ECP, also I think breakbumper is much better.

Is it just me or STV's announcements are pre-recorded now? Because ITV has had two technical faults recently and all they could do was some 15 year old breakdown tape.

I know it's a bit early, but does anyone know if stv will have Hogmanay Live this year?
Last year's was a let down, and the rest of the ITV Network never has a special New Year's show...

Do they have enough material?

I thought STV had a fire years ago, according to what I've read online!

I am slightly puzzled. stv have been advertising Take That For The Record all week which is sceduled for Monday (9.00-10.30), but I have just seen a promo for Analyze That, Monday (9.00-10.30, 11.00-11.30).
The reason why stv are broadcasting For The Record is the slot after the news (11.00-0.30) is used for Scotsport. So, does anyone know what's happening?

Well on two points then...

I believe STV are having a Hogmanay show again this year as they've been asking people to email in with messages for family members.

And on the conflicting trailers - I've spotted this before with The Mint, where they clearly just went back to the network feed a little too early. Sounds like they might just have done it again. Either that or someone hasn't told continuity of the regional variation.

Either way, more than a little sloppy. I'm not sure what STV do any more to be honest. They just throw their crappy idents on before programmes, revoice the exact same script for their trailers, and beyond that there are very few regional programmes any more.
