Freeview local television to be provided in Glasgow and Edinburgh by ... STV

There won't be a new entrant to local television news provision in Scotland, as the the winner for capital and largest city in the country are awarded to the company that has been on air since Aug 1957.

Ofcom has today announced that local TV for Edinburgh and Glasgow will go to "Edinburgh Television" and "Glasgow Television", which are bids from STV.

See STV - Scottish news, sport, entertainment and catch-up with your favourite TV shows.

STV News will therefore be provided on channel 3 (and 103 in HD) with the local TV service on channel 45 (as 8 is BBC Alba in Scotland).

I have noticed on my free to air system that STV never shows live FA cup football which ITV 1 and covers.Instead viewers are served up old films which fall far short of good entertainment. Ham v Man Utd replay is in live next Wednesday on ITV 1.Im sure many viewers in Stv area would prefer live FA cup football.

patrick: As its only the BBC that you have lost then before attempting anything I would first of all check with a neighbour to see if they are also experiencing a similar problem, as although no transmission faults have been reported as yet you cannot always go by this.

If though the neighbours report all is OK with them then you should take the out of the TV and carry out an auto tune without it, of course nothing will be picked up as all you are doing is blanking out the TV's memory store, but once the auto-tune has completed re-connect the aerial and carry out a second auto-tune to restore the channels, giving on results.

Further info supplied as appropriate.
