STV News

STV News is a Scottish news division produced by STV. The news department produces services covering STV's Channel 3 franchise areas of Northern and Central Scotland.

STV News programmes are produced from studios in Glasgow with reporters also based at newsrooms in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Inverness; and political correspondents based at Holyrood and Westminster. Freelance correspondents and camera crews are based on the Orkney and Shetland Isles, Wick and Fort William with a permanent Western Isles correspondent based in Stornoway.

In addition to its daily bulletins and online services, STV News also produces the current affairs programme Scotland Tonight, the showbiz magazine show What's On Scotland, along with feature documentaries.

STV News at Six air on STV each weeknight at 6:00 pm. The programme includes separate sections for the North and Central regions (usually 8 minutes in length, one opt-out section is recorded shortly before broadcast). The ITV Evening News, the networked news programme, follows at 6:30 pm.

The main evening programmes are supplemented by shorter STV News bulletins seven days a week, broadcast across both Central and North regions:

The Central edition and pan-regional bulletins are streamed live on STV Player, and are broadcast one hour after their original airing on STV +1. Both versions of STV News at Six, plus weekend bulletins are also available for catch-up for 1 day after broadcast on STV Player.

STV News offers digital coverage through its website, native mobile apps, and distribution via platforms like Apple News and Google News. Their digital team collaborates with regional newsrooms. With over 700,000 followers on Facebook and over 600,000 on X (formerly Twitter), STV News maintains a strong social media presence.

STV News at Six launched on Monday 23 March 2009 as part of a major station revamp. The nightly news programmes were previously known as Scotland Today in the STV Central region and North Tonight in the STV North region, with both programmes carrying local opt-outs from January 2007 onwards.
