If only there never sold it off.


Look what happened to Sky Scottish for one reason!

No market for it!
Didn't Sky Scottish only broadcast for two hours a day?

IIRC it was about 6 hours from early evening and during primetime. Didn't they have a 60 minute Scottish News-based programme during that time as well.

No they had Scotland Today every weeknight at 7.30pm. Was usually John MacKay and Andrea Brymer (now at STV North) and Martin Geissler with the sport.

That's how I remember it. At least on analogue anyway. It survived long enough to get an egg ident, so I'm not sure if it ever launched on Sky Digital?

Those two must be the only S2 and UTV2 caps on the net. I've tried to find stuff for these channels online in the past but have found absolutely nothing. Off topic but same goes for the ITV Sport Channel, only a few promos aired on other ITV channels rather than presentation itself, if anyone would like to point me in the right direction?!
