Yeah, well if it happens, then i say good riddance-
Maybe a new Channel 3 operater for Scotland is what we need CTS - Channel 3 Scotland mmm If only i had money, lol I dont have a problem with Stv being different from Itv, but for them to drop top shows is utter ridiculous, even a different time frame would be ok, as long as they showed them, within a reasonable time frame that is! |

Came across a rather interesting presentation on the ITV Media site earlier
http://www.itvmedia.co.uk/advertisin...v1-regions/stv It seems ITV must do STV's ad-sales, and as a result there are rather odd references to ITV1 Scotland. However it does contain some Q4 2010 ratings information: The top 350 programmes in Scotland were all on ITV/STV The average STV News audience is 146,000 (means nothing without Reporting Scotland to compare to though) The 6 top rated programmes were: X Factor Results - 1.397 million Coronation Street - 1.211 million I'm a Celebrity - 1.084 million Taggart - 884,000 STV News Special - 856,000 Emmerdale - 814,000 STV can't be doing that badly rating wise to have the top 350 programmes. And Taggart rated very well (in the same slot that epsiodes 2-7 of Downton Abbey Series 1 aired on ITV1) |

That Weather Show with Whats His Face. We also need stats on how many who CAN switch to ITV1 in their STV region homes opt to do so when an STV made programme is shown at peak time and, for my own personal curiousity, how many of Bobby Hain's fellow STV bosses have ITV1 in THEIR homes. I bet it is 100%.

There does seem to be a bit of racism going on in the networks, if thats the correct phrase. We get Eastenders, but England does not get River City. Whenever a Scots or Irishman is brought into EE they are usually criminals, wife beaters, or down trodden working class tinkers.
Make of that what you will. |

River City is produced specifically for the Scottish audience in the way Pobol y Cwm is produced for a Welsh audience.I suppose there might be an argument for repeating River City on BBC2 outside Scotland but anyone who has Sky can access the national regions (BBC Scotland is 971 for instance).As for your point about stereotyping I don't follow the programmes closely enough to comment.I would however add that most English characters in Taggart were portrayed in an unfavourable light.

It is impossible to believe the Top 350 programmes were all on STV as we know the BBC Hogmanay Show,Scottish Cup Final etc all rated highly.Perhaps it means the Top 350 STV programmes ?

In fairness to STV once exceptional one-off costs are excluded the business seems to be performing quite well. Underlying pre-tax profits were up 12% at £14 million. There is a new deal to produce more Antiques Road TripIt's the ITV settlement, lack of Taggart and redundancy costs that caused the loss |

On the ratings thread it was taken to mean the top 350 programmes on commercial TV in Scotland

Drama is where the money is and foreign sales are. Without, drama there will only be cheap doc commissions. |

In terms of city reaction the STV Group share price was down 0.47%, this compares to the media sector in general share prices rising 0.61% today. Suggests the market is disappointed, but they don't see it as a disaster Apparently 1 broker says STV Group is a 'Strong Buy', 1 says 'Buy' and 2 say 'Neutral'. None say sell. Broker recommedations will probably be based on the medium-long term outlook for STV http://www.digitallook.com/companyre...re_prices.html (as off 11pm on 23/2/12) |

Mr Wark has had his book "optioned" by a National Broadcaster but is tight lipped. Wonder if it could maybe be Stv??? Mmmmm? |

Hi folks.
Slightly off topic, one of my beloved felines caught and then dropped a small mouse in the kitchen and I have been trying to catch it with a humane trap (big softy that I am). When the first failed - bait gone, no mouse!!! - I decided to order a new one, and could not believe that the following was available. STV Live Catch RTU Mouse Trap Do you suppose the mouse is lured in with the chance to win its weight in cheese or the thought of the chance to see 'Scotland's Greatest Nibbles' with David Tennant? Anyway, it made me smile.
