How does that make money? It has no adverts, of games and I doubt the texts makes alot of money.

Well its an income - makes money obviously OK lets look at it this way The Box use to run like a jukebox and songs were requested - it made MONEY from the calls it had coming in - so turn this for "Nightshift" it is exactly the same it makes money from text messages (even if its 50p per text) its still alot it can make in the broadcasting hours and it does have ads - just STV crap ads for STV Player and the alike (not much new there either)

You also seem to forget that they advertise their win 5K comps all the time - again thats another source of income they make from phone/text

EDIT: how do you think channels carry "teleshopping" in the wee small hours? Again its a source of income - the channels all have a sneaky way of making income - I am stating the obvious (why do you think channels like STV say they make profits? As they get income from other sources does not need to be "ad" related - gambling/teleshopping/Nightshift - the channels all have a way to keep themselves afloat in other forms

After that Robson Green drama "Take Me", STV are now advertising a show called "Charles Endell Esquire". I hadn't heard of it so had to Google it. It's an STV show from 1979. It's getting a bit desperate now!

Its alright next in their "archive" tour they will possibly start repeating "Fun House" and "Finders Keepers" next (Its OK I caught some over on Challenge )

STV these days must be desperate for something if they are now needing to venture back to the year 1979! .... I am hazarding a guess they are running this ad for STV Glasgow (from the very channel that seems to forget that the REST of Scotland can't get the channel in first place other than manually tune in on a SKY box .... bunch of twonks!)

Expect these amateurs to trot out Thingummyjig, Glen Michael's Cavalcade and a whole lot of dated tat. Just exactly what is the point of this channel? It's pathetic it really is. Instead of "investing" in this crap they should have been spending it on their main channel, or running these dated shows during the night. Woeful indeed.

God no - don't give this lot ideas for "nightshift" programme is bad enough .... STV is kinda like ITV but STV is getting worse with repeating dated shows and telling us the viewer to see them on the "STV Player" - right OK STV this is 2014 not 1979 (or whatever year)

I assumed STV Glasgow was a "local" channel but from what I read on here its like a mini STV2 channel repeating old STV programming (I assume this is what their other "locals" will look like)

STV hardly invest in programming if they did we would expect better opt outs/output to the tat we get - as I mentioned before like David Heyman on Weirs Way is OK but its basically a rebooted show for the sake of Tom Weir, the channel is short on ideas but like ITV they can't come out with anything new/original these days (par ITV on its dramas and some programming) but STV is just tat tv nonstop - they rather have weekends close up just after midnight and read out texts/email from viewers - what is the exact incentive in that and still repeating the flyovers of places in Scotland from 80's-90's (DATED FLYOVERS) if this is a channel meant to be looking into the future then where the heck is it? STV looks more lost and no real direction for it - As I speak for Grampian the now STV North side of STV its the pits - yet our resources seem to me are ever used (only for news - is that all we exist for? Where is the actual programming for us in the North and we won't use Weirs Way as one .... but basically bug all since the merge - STV's main concentration is Glasgow/Edinburgh but anything outwith don't really give a toss about unless its some faux pas programming)

Dundee voted yes, more and more airtime is being given to SNP, news at 6 pm and news night Scotland is so blatantly biased.

They were also in breach of the rules broadcasting neverendum program after the polls had opened.

I don't know all the technicalites in this one ... But seriously is that what I am going to put up with?


Supposedly STV Glasgow is basically an archive channel anyway running a Riverside show, I assume they will adapt that idea for Dundee since well we have a "Riverside" as well (rollseyes)

Who was in breach of rules broadcasting the campaigns? As far I took it they both BBC/STV presented it well (without bias in my opinion) I do however agree that both channels never shut up about it! Can we just move on?

OK now I understand your point - but why does OFCOM not give this lot a "slapped wrist" like they did in the past for breaching rules or are they not that bothered these days? The Regulator should also be holding networks to account if they have breached rules in my book

The thing is I remember OFCOM had told STV off for doing "sponsorships" with the Government (this is going back to 2010) http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...om-sponsorship

It seems to me as if STV really don't learn from the mistakes they make but apart from flap their gums that they make profits

Oh I found the link you spoke about above http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...iness-30098805 the words "human error" and the words "hitting targets" - as in this and I quote "The small audience for STV Glasgow means the impact of the broadcast would probably have been limited.

The most recent data from the body that compiles the TV ratings - BARB - suggests that just 15,000 people watch STV Glasgow at some point each day. No ratings were published for individual programmes.

Earlier in the year STV said the channel was hitting its targets" - 15,000 is still alot considering the size/population of Glasgow to the other towns/cities in Scotland (quick look on wiki) it goes Glasgow/Edinburgh/Aberdeen then Dundee

Going back on the "human error" then surely if they spotted this was a mistake it should have been taken off air (replaced with a Sorry banner in place?) strikes me as rather odd - does STV make these mistakes on purpose for a reason or is really just "clanger" moments with those in charge?

and we're back to Scottish Passport Shorts with this lot once more .... FFS STV please stop with these "shorts" its becoming more of an embarassment - yet as far as I see on ITV they don't have "shorts" so why the need? .... oh well a film on STV thats good .... from 1975 starring Al Pacino ..... errr where are the movie premieres? I forgot best bet would be looking towards ITV/CH 4/5 or BBC for that as STV couldn't give a toss on that either

Don't get me wrong Mc256 - I always have been a little suspect about it, I have raised points on this thread (if not this was previous thread) in what I thought and have been rubbished (take it or leave it) but I agree with you but why is OFCOM not doing anything - OFCOM are that quick these days to slap the BBC/Ch4 but with STV if mistakes are made we don't hear anything about it - I assume its possibly quickly sorted out before its in the news

All it takes is some sadist to find 500 episodes of Take The High Road, then STV will surely have a claim to be awful and parochial.
Charles Endell Esquire was a marginally amusing spin off of Budgie, but even in 1980 it was not that great and will have dated horribly, being mostly filmed in a studio.

The sad thing is they have got those 500 episodes of TTHR and they are trotting them out on STV Glasgow! Again, what is the point of this garbage channel - what has TTHR got to do with Glasgow, or Weir's Way, or the other tat they are showing on it - it clearly was a sneaky move by STV to hoover up "local" channel places by conning us into thinking they would be showing news, current affairs, sport, events guides etc... all to do with Glasgow - what viewers have in essence is a substandard local channel showing mainly old STV programmes - in other words a kind of STV2! Pathetic, yet STV have no shame.

And they are making a great play on the main channel about "every Taggart" episode available on STV player - you think it would embarrass them into wondering whatever happened to their productions when you see what they output now!

The joys when STV Edinburrgh launches - catch every Rebus episode (caught the ad for it for STV Player last night) - STV are a joke these days, advertise past programming as if its new to the viewer - be different if they were making half decent dramas in place of those but of course not - why not advertise The Vice which too had Ken Stott in it next? (oh wait its currently on repeat on ITV3)

So whats the whole point of STV Glasgow? I took it as if it was a channel to do with local community? So this channel has repeats of Taggart/High Road/Scotland Tonight - yep it sure is a new STV2 (also they have another channel there for ads again making profits)

I can't wait for my STV Dundee to start up (saying it sarcatically) ... I will see all the old Grampian programming shouldn't I or will it be another arm of STV Glasgow

This is what annoys me about this apology for a tv channel - it's decades old national (not even peculiar to Glasgow) content dressed up as some kind of community/local channel . Who are they trying to kid? I would have accepted it if they had simply been HONEST and called it STV 2 and marketed it as such, but no they are either too mean/stingy and/or dishonest to tell the viewers it has very little to do with Glasgow - The Riverside show is about it, even their Football show is aimed at a national audience. Where is the rolling Glasgow/west of Scotland news, or features on local community projects/charities/ventures, or business, sports reports and/or snippets from the west/Glasgow, events and things happening etc...

It's like Film 4 on air screening a couple of films a day and the rest non movie content! How can this possibly be acceptable?

The point that bugs me is how they market STV2/STV Glasgow all the time on their main channel - if you have a sky box you can possibly view/find it but if your on freeview/virgin living in another area of Scotland its beyond pointless - can they just OPT OUT that ad FFS As far as I was aware of the "local" channels were meant to be what is LOCAL to them but I am under the assumption since its STV they are able to get away with using their old programming as being local and as you mentioned like events etc they should be doing that - but again I think/feel its just another channel they can make money off (when the other spin offs start they will be laughing to the bank) - yet then I would start questioning them more on where is the "missing" content they can produce for Scotland/UK wide (BBC/ITV) for their main channel

I remember when Dundee use to have Channel 6 (ok crap picture) but it ran old programmes such as Rhubarb and Custard and it acted like a Jukebox (must have been a test run channel) it was not bad but possibly lacked in content

As for STV Glasgow itself - not seen it but your guess as good as mine but I presume the UK Government/OFCOM must be happy with it let alone with the content it has on it, I think "local" ain't the word thats for sure!

Wasn't the film Public Enemies also screened on Channel 4? - just googled it, seems it looks like even Film 4 has aired it (not known date sadly) -- we should remember that STV don't do much in "films" these days sadly, it is only when it suits them - yet the irony of it you would think like some of the programmes after Scotland Tonight (STV)/News at 10 (ITV) screen a film afterwards, if they were seen to be keen airing films they would but it looks like after a certain time STV would rather the viewer put up with Nightscreen/Nightshift than do anything really which is baffling to me - seems like also STV aint keen on airing (possibly unknown times 007 films been on repeat) but yet you think they would stick with it since its ITV airing it but I guess not -- STV needs to get its act together in 2015 and air half decent films and actually publicise them than just shoving them completely off schedule or not bothering with it.

As far as I even remember I am pretty sure when Grampian existed you still got films on at night but this is just laziness with STV controllers, why not just save the bother of it all and just put on "teleshopping" instead and make a buck or two of that since thats what most channels seem to do these days (and that too is pathetic)


Another thing i'll pick up on and annoys me to hell with this lot was at end of On Weirs Way with David is how they constantly plug in at the end of it "to catch up on the original series we will tell you how at the end" - we already know its on the STV Player FFS, is this all STV can really plug is them rabbiting on catching up on "old" programming on its player, yet looking at ITV and their ad for ITV Player most of the time its about say I'm a Celeb or other programming (say ITV2/3) but for STV to push down your throat their player and that STV Glasgow is taking the biscuit
