Really - 2am. Food Network - 3am. Quest - 24 hrs. :sleep: I know the ITV channels do carry "teleshopping" and or nightscreen but most as far as I know do close .... its just annoys me personally is the "give up" approach and resort to the cack thats thrown on and speaking from what I remember from the 90's they either ran "non stop" into the night or just closed .... but I guess some need "revenue" coming in ..... yes who is actually BENEFITING here ... it aint the viewers regarding the state of UK programming at the moment ITV the worst offender of all with all the "reality" cack manifesting on ITV1 and ITV2 ... i'll be glad to see all this stuff gone and get something more decent on! |

I'm old enough to remember decades ago when STV (along with the rest of the ITV network) came on at 9.25am every weekday morning (with schools programmes till noon!), and a similar time at the weekend. All in the days before Breakfast tv of course! At night they would sometimes follow the network after News At Ten, invariably closing down with the religious Late Call programme around, or just after midnight. When the ITV network launched all night broadcasting (can't remember exactly when) STV called their strand of programmes "through the night" - roughly following the network content and timing. The mix was a variety of films, American imports, repeats of comedies and dramas etc.. etc... - absolutely NO roulette/gambling, and a text/programming information service occassionally appeared 20-25 minutes at the very end (very early morning, before Breakfast tv started) - that was clearly seen as a genuine filler and NOT a complete block as it is presented now. So what we have today is an almost complete shift away from that - presenting gambling/roulette and text/recycled clips programmes as complete blocks - in other words cheap, tatty, amateurish rubbish. And if it can be tarted up as a grubby money making slot then even better. Fulfilling OFCOM requirements over viewer satisfaction.

Yes STV and its wonderful schedule for this week .... lets look Mamma Mia is on tuesday night on ITV1 but STV decide to put it on when footy is on and run "highland highlights" for 10 mins on both days .... STV must be running low on how many times a programme like this needs to be put on! .... more likely they also show these re-runs on "the nightshift" also

I can't stand STV - utter joke of a channel. I'm amazed they still let me watch Downton Abbey to be honest!

It must be made clear STV has to broadcast 90mins of local content during peak times 7pm - 10pm. It could do with some better shows.

I agree with what you say - fair enough to broadcast the local content - but it def. needs to broadcast better shows. |

Regarding better shows .... how long have we been waiting on them as far as their content they provide is more of a TURN OFF than a TURN ON - i'll give STV credit on "incredible stories" but at the same time as the production is "dubbed" by STV the programme looks alot cheaper .... plus its a National Geographic Channel production and NOT an STV programme and how does this even fall into "local" programming ... this programme has LESS to do with Scotland than anything else |

I am a bit surprised here I assumed "Nightscreen" was ran by ITV but during the times you have given ITV do not even have it listed! .... so what is it STV's version of the "Nightscreen" ? how exciting that must be .... must be just as bad as that "nightshift" but without the recycled clips running ![]() just a question HOW OLD is "highland highlights"? as John Michie has more HAIR on him then than he does in Corrie! ... 3 4 5 years old? |

I assumed the STV Nightscreen was the same as the ITV Nightscreen - but according to What's On Tv it describes the STV Nightscreen as "text based guide to forthcoming STV programmes" - so as you say it looks like it's as bad as The Nightshift, without the recycled clips!
For the sake of saving time when I do the OPT OUT list, I don't bother differentiating between the 2 versions - so for example next Monday (16th) Nightscreen comes onto ITV1 at 3.50-5.30am. STV's version appears at 1.20am-5.30am. However the list will only show the STV OPT OUT (as Nightscreen) from 1.20-3.50am, as STV joins the main ITV network at 3.50am. As far as John Michie and Highland Highlights goes, I have no idea how old that prog. is - maybe more than what you say - maybe 7-10 years old?! |

I assumed the STV Nightscreen was the same as the ITV Nightscreen - but according to What's On Tv it describes the STV Nightscreen as "text based guide to forthcoming STV programmes" - so as you say it looks like it's as bad as The Nightshift, without the recycled clips!
For the sake of saving time when I do the OPT OUT list, I don't bother differentiating between the 2 versions - so for example next Monday (16th) Nightscreen comes onto ITV1 at 3.50-5.30am. STV's version appears at 1.20am-5.30am. However the list will only show the STV OPT OUT (as Nightscreen) from 1.20-3.50am, as STV joins the main ITV network at 3.50am. As far as John Michie and Highland Highlights goes, I have no idea how old that prog. is - maybe more than what you say - maybe 7-10 years old?! |

So what we have today is an almost complete shift away from that - presenting gambling/roulette and text/recycled clips programmes as complete blocks - in other words cheap, tatty, amateurish rubbish. And if it can be tarted up as a grubby money making slot then even better.
Fulfilling OFCOM requirements over viewer satisfaction. ![]() out of the gambling shows so in that timeslot they tend to broadcast repeats of Nightwatch or regional programes better than the usuall nighttime fair |

Hi all
Saw this thread and wanted to make my first post re. the despair I have at the state of of STV Regardless of the scheduling issues, the channel as a whole is an amateurish disgrace. Did you see the STV appeal? The production, presenting, and content of the show was so bad it seemed like an ad campaign for Non Scottish Independence. Two words sum up the channel for me: Raman Bardwadj |
