Time and time again the clips are so dated they are unwatchable. As you say, the "flyovers" are crap too.

DIFFERENT TIMES - Not quite as straightforward as +30 mins. allowing for Scotland Tonight - the programmes are either on before or after ITV start times, and Great British Views is a catch up as this was screened by ITV recently. Bit of a mix to say the least, but to give them credit what a welcome relief to Nightshift!”

How the hell "nightshift" is deemed watchable is beyond me - if its interviews from the 80's or programming the picture is "stretched" and you can tell how crap the quality is - there is many faults with this show - one repeat of programmes of yesteryear (most of it seems like of the old Scottish programming - oddly yet I have never seen that many Grampian shows been repeated on that programme? - Flyovers ie Dundee (announcer we are flying over Dundee for the 500th time - Error 1 Tayside House has gone 2 Tay Bridge has been altered - but any updated ones?? of course not - yet they had some playing on STV+1 before the new update)

AAH so thats what they are doing I was under the impression it would be a + so many mins obviously not and I do hope they aint going to be putting their "shorts" on more during that time either.

I wonder why the sudden stop (even if its one week)? Very odd yet if you look at ITV they still keep Jackpot247 on - I hope STV uses this time during the night wisely with at least decent programming than the usual guff they put on

Bit of a shambles on the news bumper on stv north just before the 8pm Emmerdale. Surprised they don't record this. Perhaps they should!

They should just abandon connecting us for 60 secs at 8pm - it turns out to be exactly that a shambles, rushed to make the connection back to STV Glasgow (sometimes you usually hear the "switch" when this happens - STV North is basically on a switch nothing more, how long before Grampian TV is actually demolished and relocated to umm Clyde?)

I noted yesterday the "connection" for Raman for Wimbledon, Andrea was still gibbering as he just started (correct me but are we on some LIVE reports simulcast with Glasgow? - comes across in my mind we are)

I wonder why the reason to drop nightshift mostly during the week? dated clips wearing thin?? , or unable to pay the presenters for their overtime for doing the shows in a midst of cutbacks?? (guessing here), I welcome at least programming back on during the night but STV have got along way before they can gain confidence back in its viewers - ie actually completing programming that has been shown on ITV than throwing them around.

Opt outs - Animal 999 (yawn) really?? Bored of their own opt outs, they do nothing for me, i'll just stick to the option "elsewhere"

and as for ITV with the use of "Jeremy Kyle" really?? So you got him early hours of morning now as well as at 9.25am, ITV network may as well rename itself the Jezza channel

Definately was the same link for stv north and stv central. Another gripe is the music they use. In tonights stv news at 6 (north edition) the music in the background whilst reading news items etc just comes to an abrupt end then suddenly starts again.

You think thats bad, when it comes to the split - the sound in my opinion is level but the minute it switches to Dundee they are turning it up, newsreader seems more everyday is trying to blast out the speakers, yet when we connect back to North - sound is either louder (than originally) or its back to normal level (oh yes another thing may as well add - STV North studio has a LIVE background - what does the Dundee studio get? Basic background picture they flicker about with "sunny" by default but by night just same pic with lights on - why no LIVE background for us?? .. plank camera in Dundee City Square or somewhere in Fife looking over River Tay but I presume we are not budgeted for much since well its a 5 min bulletin)

Thats another thing you raised and I had not noticed when on the news for the North that background music is on, yet us in Dundee have no background music but presenters yabber on and at end try and run a joke at the end which falls on its ass (just hurry and scrap this inane split and put us back under one main bulletin aka North Tonight)

as for STV North itself its a joke within itself really faults happen, no one apologises (but coughing through it works) cameras start going walkies, STV News has turned into a BBC Scotland replica (basic same idea - LIVE background hmmm BBC do that a desk but BBC have I think 2 in the one studio -but STV the presenters "share" the one desk are we having a laugh??), when I went to Newcastle ITV had a LIVE background and 2 presenters at the one desk looking at the camera and I believe they had a separate screen for weather with weather presenter, looked alot cleaner and sleeker - STV in my mind is just an embarrassment and its ashame what us in old Grampian have been reduced to no matter what the coverage be news, can hardly talk about programming as it seems we have been reduced to zilch as its default Glasgow for all things Scottish

Loved also when Tyrone was doing the sport a caption came up saying 'Persons name'....a mistake..unless he's changed his name by deed poll.

I do think standards have slipped in recent years.

Standards have definately slipped in recent years and as far as I remember when the "merge" happened I cannot remember seeing any faults - it ran like any normal bulletin, I am assuming that the "split" is too much for this lot to handle? Just do the honourable thing and scrap it as I don't see why Glasgow/Edinburgh get their own bulletins whilst us in STV North area remain with a split - scrap it and merge it back under one originally.


I wish as well that the STV News drop the tagline "my name is ..... this is the STV News at 6 LIVE from Aberdeen" (we know that your on everyday LIVE from Aberdeen!), unless its a news "special" we will come from the STV Base in Glasgow or come from Edinburgh. STV North might as well go in my mind its served its purposed STV in Glasgow does not care (regarding faults you think they would be told to up their game here but not). The only thing STV North has any responsibilty with is putting on the "local" weather (just before Scotland tonight) and news, there is no other output we give out to the ITV Network, yet you think with the profits this company makes they could be a bit more diverse in their advertising/programming but oh of course by logic and default we have Weegie accent or we come from Lothians -so basically anything after Edinburgh/Glasgow does not exist

They have gone absolutely overkill with Jeremy Kyle next week! However, big improvement Mon-Thur with Columbo, Great British Views etc... - no sign of Motorsport or Superbikes highlights though, and I just hope this break from Nightshift is permanent (i.e. won't be surprised if it returns after the summer ).

Edit to add - Forgot to mention on the STV OPT OUT list above that on Friday night at 8pm ITV will screen "The Cruise Ship" (STV has Animal 999).

Jeremy Kyle: There is no real need to have it on 3 times within one day (OK one is a US version but surely ITV can jig the morning one at time to show the US version - come to think about its usually on ITV2!)

STV and its "sports": yes I do wonder why they never show motorsport or superbike highlights (presume the solution for that is go to ITV4 for that .... yes STV what do you actually cover?? Last time I checked it was rugby not seen anything since but other than its mostly Scottish footy ie the big talk is Rangers V Celtic (yet us in STV North have other teams at times don't get as much coverage as they 2 do!)

Cruise Ship for ITV? hmm interesting, at least its not STV's blantant of a Nat Geo programme a few years back! (its a 4 part series supposedly) according to ITV Press Centre: http://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep2we...p#.U7bZkbHDXRQ (note this is highlighting episode 2 of 4)

Nighshift/overnight programming: yes I agree a great improvement it seems STV is actually doing something eventually (but nighshift is on from I think from a FRI-SUN night - can they just scrap this altogether??, if they have reduced it down again it must be fairly obvious a) its not getting ratings b) how many times do we need to see dated interviews with the likes of Jim White?? c) over-usuage of same interviews (obviously the stars featured must not be getting any royalties from it

I caught it on +1 Chris Harvey reporting on the Baton Relay - they go LIVE to him in Perth he is speaking and he gets cut off midway (due to timing?? - hop back onto feed for STV Central? - again RUSHED) Andrea comes back on screen says thanks Chris from Perthshire and says catch me later - end of STV News at 6 (+1) - I have heard of freedom but STV North has no freedom, why can't they let STV North have more control? ie if late just jump back on when ITV News starts? As this rushing around for us up this way is embarrassing to watch (rush to connect back run an STV trailer then ITV News) but of course these suggestions won't happen as us up here are shunted and where its bigger in population gets more higher priority than us, why not just for the sake just cut us off altogether?

Last time I remember it was ITV that screened Series 1, I don't think STV have ever screened it, yet as you say strange to air series 2, but let me guess ITV have probably given them series 1 on the cheap so I assume it will appear on weekend play in near future


Found your earlier posting(s) http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...php?p=72596639 and it was ITV repeating it early morning - So STV viewers who may have not seen first series will have no real clue .... good one STV

I don't know how accurate this is, but I was under the impression that now everything is paid for and STV take the whole (excluding England football perhaps?) schedule from ITV as a package (obviously choosing to opt out of certain programmes). If that is the case then why not show series 1 next Thursday night? Makes absolutely no sense to screen series 2 before series 1!

Here's a news article on STV making a big fanfare about their viewing figures for the new STV Glasgow channel. Scroll down to the bottom of the article - most popular programme (news bulletin) has just 17k watching! Check out the pic of the presenters - what a bunch of fake, pretentious wannabes! They must have been told not to smile and give it their best "mean, moody serious look" - utterly pathetic.

They have to put on a "serious" look ... seems like they want everyone to take channel seriously (bad enough on STV News its basically the same with all the "smiles")

STV like making a sun and dance about everything anyway ... look how the "irrelevant" to Scotland fanfare panned out - again whats the majority of the population is this channel aimed at excluding whatever ITV content they buy in (without networking), it in my mind is focussed mostly west coast so I am not surprised, I wonder if they have altered the STV Glasgow ad as last time I seen it was still advertising it as if it was available Scotland wide yet it only serves Glasgow

Yes, the main channel has the fake smiles (esp. Sean's cringeworthy grin) so the cameraman must have been shouting at the STV Glasgow team - "c'mon you lot, get mean and moody, none of this fake enjoyment nonsense - we're STV Glasgow, we're mean moody and we mean err... business (cough)" -

LOL

Chuck the buckie!

The other thing about the STV News at 6 grinds my gears is they now immediately say the tagline "This is STV News at 6 LIVE from Aberdeen" FFS give it up - just say we are watching STV news at 6 or better than that just get on with the news and scrap the stupid intro - STV has basically adopted some sort of American look for its news really? Since when did Scotland become part of the US?

Mind you when I watch STV News now when it comes for the split I always just say standby someone will forget to switch and we will get the Aberdeen news instead the Dundee news is beyond pointless just put it back in the main bulletin its that easy or have we too forgotten about what "north tonight" ran like?
