From Aasmah Mir's Twitter Bio...




STV are doing the whole coverage, ITV are certainly not doing a separate programme...It doesn't make any sense at all...

Please tell me your "confirmation" comes from a better source than somebodies twitter bio...



It makes perfect sense. It would be stupid to try and fit the same coverage in for the two completely different markets.

All the evidence points to ITV doing a separate programme to what is being shown on STV.

I can confirm my information comes a reliable source who is well established within STV. I am certainly not revealing the source...

Good Morning Britain
Friday 19th September on ITV from 6:00am to 10:00am

Well Mr Stewart has tweeted confirming the ITV Network will show STV's coverage for the referendum result from 22:40 until 06:00. He should know as he was cited as hosting ITV's coverage. ITV News will pick up the coverage the following day.

The STV press release also said ITV Border will carry the STV News at Ten prior to the overnight coverage.

Can we put this to bed now...

Ah this now opens up a can of worms, Why ITV dont know what being broadcast.... ( IE TV guide people)

I agree this looks pretty bad, but various listings (including those on the ITV website) are usually set several weeks in advance, and I get the distinct impression discussions between ITV & STV and ITV & ITN have been on-going over the last few days to finalise arrangements for coverage outside of Scotland ...

You would think there would leave the Guide blank until everything was sorted. This is was STV did until today.

Right, so the STV show is going out on ITV then the two networks are splitting at 6am?
