It doesn't lack much in the Scottish TV area. Scotland Today is consistently a better programme than Reporting Shetland... um... Scotland. The latter is too concerned with box ticking (giving tons of time to new roads in Aberdeen and 10 seconds to murders in Glasgow, just so they can say they covered the whole area), Scottish Executive press releases and a PC news agenda (and as a lefty, there must be something wrong if I spot it).
Scotland Today does a good job of mixing human interest and making political stories relevant, and with a millionth of the budget that BBC Scotland no doubt has. The only criticism I'd have is that it consistently covers stories from outwith the region (stories from Aberdeen and the Borders consistently creep in - equivalent to Yorkshire taking stories from Tyne Tees).
Grampian's North Tonight doesn't seem too bad either, and also destroys the BBC competition. (In case you're wondering, we sometimes see it down here repeated at 3am in the morning - very confusing if you've been out on the tiles to be confronted with Grampian news).

It has been a long time since you were up through the night!!! North Tonight has not been shown on Scottish for months now - only repeats of Tom Weir!!!!!!

I was wondering why I hadn't seen it in a while (albeit I don't deliberately wait up for it or anything). I suppose Weir's Way works for the drunk audience in a surreal way.
why are the regions webistes so rubbish? Central news hasn't been updated since Jan 31st!
Most (if not all) of the video links on all the sites don't work. When I sent and email of complaint (early feb) I was told it was being sorted.
The Tyne Tees website is still updated twice daily. Not quite sure why they've been allowed to keep it though... but it's better than the rest of the ITV Plc. sites.
