I think the National Weather should have played, but maybe there was a last-minute fault, and ITV1 decided to air promos in its place - forgetting to let STV know about it.


yeah as posted on the itv news thread , the national weather wasn't played in london for some reason.

If it didn't play on ITV1, how did UTV manage to show it? Is it because they take a different feed?

They have a different sponsor, so get a local copy of each weather played in as it looks far better than jumping in and out of the network feed.

Indeed... though we always knew that Murderland would be the one 9pm drama which STV would take so this does not indicate a policy change.

Interestingly, from next Sunday STV appears to be filling the wee small hours when there's no STV Casino with Teleshopping. Nothing appears to have been announced yet, but if this is correct then it's the first time in the UK that a PSB has run Teleshopping. Ofcom only relaxed the rules for PSBs a few months back but so far ITVplc, C4 and five have done nothing in this direction....



this would explain why STV Casino is being broadcast on Tuesdays now.

what else would the broadcast? Repeat of Nightwatch With Steve Scott Kojok ( 30 years old!) countrywise. its like no one is trying

will Crossing Jordan has finished. Surface finishes in two weeks. some times it starts at 00.25 Casino so its seem to only start after stv has finished it other shows.

at least we don't have that Alan tichtmarsh show

* Paper complains that STV was to much like ITV1 a couple of years ago Rolling Eyes ( there can;t win)
* Since the bill got drop, stv has out done ITV on rating share.
* Sunday are being looked at to make improvements instead of Films
* Stv has admitted that there are to many films filling the gaps * this is due to nothing else being ready to replace them.
