Is the news update at 8 also shown on STV Glasgow?
The reason i ask is because at the start John said something along the lines of ' Now the headlines in Glasgow'
Also, it's rather strange for viewers to be constantly reminded of STV Glasgow when they have no access to the channel or they are receiving the wrong region. (imo)

The headlines at 8pm are still regionalised into North, East and West.

The tagline is usually 'Now the headlines in the west.'

Presented from the newsroom by John Mackay solo for some reason tonight.

And at the end of the sport, he looked to one side and said "thanks John", turned to the other and said "Thank you" and continued as if he'd just had a handover from another presenter.

What. The...?

Studio lights not working, hence the move to the newsroom.

They must have got things sorted out as Lucy Whyte did the second half of the 8pm Glasgow News from the studio...

Is anyone able to ID the music? Is it in the same place as other STV themes and if so, what is the name?

Stv news interrupted the ads this afternoon to bring a newsflash on the Glasgow lorry crash... first time I've seen a newsflash from stv.
