Why why why did STV employ the announcer who sounds like a fight's about to start? I dunno he doesn't really sound announcer-ish especially when doing the ECP.

I think you mean Donny. He and some others have clearly not been trained as continuity announcers, and allegedly it is all down to money. The continuity team in Glasgow desperately needs a mass clearout, apart from Colin and Cameron.
All Maggie says is:
this is ess tee vee,
you’re watching ess tee vee,
well now on ess tee vee,

I mentioned this months ago!!!

He may be off the cuff but he does sound very Weegie (West of Scotland.....by the way big man).

Why can we not have some of the links recorded (because most of them now are) in the North of Scotland???

Please get rid of the current on air female announcer, she is as common as muck.


You don't even know the woman, so how on earth can you call her that?

The phrase “common as muck” has more than one meaning. I used it to illustrate the way she speaks.

I would never publicly berate any of my colleagues if I was an STV announcer.

SMG was ‘six months from bankruptcy’.

I never realised the situation was that bad (and neither did most others from the look of that report).

It would have presented a very interesting turn of events -- the television side isn't making any money, and would probably have ended up being sold for a tiny sum to ITV, who would immediately have closed most of what little is left.

I bet UTV are glad they didn't go for the reverse takeover now!!

They have new bumpers too......a light sky gradient for a background and then the stv logo without the white backing. Hmmm...

The new Emmerdale credits are now quite hard to read with this new ECP, as the who picture is screen is squashed.

EDIT: Here's a quick mock-up:
