Scotland Tonight for Monday:-
1. 2 guests speaking about the financial problems at Rangers FC = 10mins.
2. Guest talking about M5 crash/speed limit on motorway = 3mins.
3. Local news opt out = 8 mins.
4. Guests talking about how Olympic 2012 affects Scotland = 5mins.
5. Presenter announces "5 things happening tomorrow" = 2mins.
Running time c.28mins.
Summary:- The 1st news item obviously had a West Of Scotland bias, though you could argue it concerns one of Scotland's largest sporting institutions.
The 2nd item on speed - mmm thought the link with Scotland wasn't there on that one.
Local news opt out - Fine.
4th item on Olympics - A politician and sportsman in the studio - healthy arguments there, not bad.
5th item - 5 things... - a bit tabloidy to say the least.
Overall not too bad - a bit lightweight in places, not as solid as Newsnight Scotland but perhaps their different approach reflects this.
Will record tonight/Wed and report back here Thursday.
