STV I presume will opt out of the Network as they usually do for big things like this on the Friday with Andrea Brymer coming down as well possibly. They also might do a live 30 minute 6pm on Thursday from Holyrood.
But I don't think STV have released anything about the broadcasts yet..

It would not surprise me if there opted out of Losses woman and JK show?
Interestingly, on BBC One Wales, there is a "BBC Wales Today Referendum Countdown" scheduled at 2335, 0035 and 0135 during the referendum results programme, suggesting Wales are opting out for a short time.
When roughly will we get the definitive Yes or No vote? Through the night during the coverage? And on the 19th is Rep Scot for all UK instead of Breakfast or just in Scot?

We will get a VERY good picture overnight maybe 3-4am. but the final results would not be done until midday since western islands dont count overnight.
The CCO Designate has already consulted COs across the country to confirm
their initial count plans. All have confirmed that they can count overnight which
is in line with the desire of the CCO. Despite Scotland’s geographical challenges,
only one local authority area, Argyll and Bute, does not normally count
overnight. Due to difficulties in retrieving ballot boxes from some islands in the
dark, they usually undertake the count on the day following the poll. For this
referendum, however, their CO has confirmed that plans are in place to facilitate
an overnight count either through special transport arrangements or separate
satellite counts.
I think I remember something being said about the results being in by breakfast time.
There will be the following programmes on Referendum day/night:
Main programmes on BBC & ITV following 2200 news, through to 6:00. No clue yet as to whether BBC Scotland and STV will host different programmes to the rest of their networks although the BBC programme does have a different title in Scotland.
I think I've heard that BBC Scotland will be broadcasting a different programme from the rest of the UK.
Yes - my understanding is that there will be two BBC programmes, one for Scotland and one for the Rest of the UK. Totally different stories either side of the border, so that makes perfect sense.
