I am beyond confused now with STV and its scheduling - again whats the point? They may as well just abandon ship and join ITV (follow schedule per se)
Questions to STV: why has Slow Train disappeared? Why put on More Tales and the Motorsport (sudden interest??)
its official lets be honest its a channel ran by muppets for muppets, they are now in a habit of being random with programming and as far as I see I wouldn't give it the time to follow it on STV with all this hassle - STV really needs to buck up its ideas and run with programming (if behind keep up with it), this is one of the reasons I really do find STV unwatchable as its just taking the piss take these days




. Their continuity announcements are nothing more than cringeworthy comments like "ooh - scary stuff in Coronation Street tonight" or "oh dear Cane - looks like you're in big trouble" (in reference to an Emmerdale episode just finishing), or continuous plugs for STV2 (oops sorry - STV Glasgow/Edinburgh - the bastions of local broadcasting) Embarrassing stuff.
