Episode Details

STV is reshaping its northern news coverage, moving the main nightly broadcast from Aberdeen to Glasgow — meaning viewers will get national stories for two-thirds of the show, with only a small local segment. The move, approved by Ofcom, aims to save £2.5 million by next year and includes cutting shorter local bulletins in Aberdeen and Dundee. It marks the end of an era for veteran anchor Norman MacLeod, who’s covered major events like Piper Alpha for nearly 40 years. While production is centralizing, STV promises to keep local newsgathering teams in Aberdeen, Dundee, and Inverness — and maintain coverage of Holyrood and Westminster — balancing cost-cutting with regional reporting.
