Guess who won Aberdeen, Dundee and Ayrshire Local TV channel.

I see the Aberdeen station will be run by students at Robert Gordon Uni. Frankly with the incompetance of the 6 pm News on STV North will anyone notice the difference?

but it gives STV more responsibility that if things go wrong they actually address the issues (ie tech faults and shabbiness of production) they do it or am I just holding out on hope on that one as I doubt the bosses at STV do care about us lot in this direction?

STV never bid for Inverness, the only company who did was rejected.

STV's regular staff run those channels and had also advertised for positions. AFAIK students may be runners or assist in some minor capacity. AFAIK there are no students controlling, filming, scheduling, etc. outright. It isn't like a hospital/local radio station run by volunteers.

STV Dundee news will be a laugh in a half really - STV News at Six will be basically the simulcast on the main channel (STV North and then the "split") as I can't see Dundee getting a full half hour bulletin - in a 5 min bulletin alone there is hardly anything you didn't know that you probably read up in other media and local paper. This is a disaster in the making I think - whilst the bosses at STV say profits are up and the like I do wonder what programming we are going to get for us on the other side of Scotland but I ain't holding my breath on that one! |

On the plus side, they these channels have a better chance of survival under stv than maybe under others. Look at Inverness application, ambitious but with no infrastructure in place. Shame stv didnt bid there.

The channels will be able to survive since STV will have more income coming but I doubt we will see any real changes be on their "local" network or STV itself - seems more STV is like ITV make money, make cheap shows and try and make the viewer have an IQ of a size of a peanut as its that dumbed down ![]() But lets also remember where there is a boom there will be a bust soon but I doubt they see this coming.... |

As well as that we will continue to hear the never ending saga of this lot making "profits" whilst at same time make 50p programming for STV as a whole - what does it take with this lot to actually make programming for Scotland/ITV network and selling it onto others?

As someone who remembers the heydays of stv at Cowcaddens, it is a shame to see what it has become. I remember a local show every night. Remember ' Scottish Action' Whats your problem' 'Now you see it'. Unfortunately it doesnt have much studio space these days.
