STV has invested in a new look for its evening television news bulletins, with refreshed studio sets in Glasgow and Aberdeen.
The refreshed look kicks in at lunchtime today will introduce three “dynamic video walls” in each studio to allow greater flexibility for presenters to move around the space.
This will allow reporters and correspondents to join presenters on-set, “creating a more interactive viewing experience”. The title music and on-screen graphics have also been updated.
Kelly-Ann Woodland and John MacKay present STV News at Six for the STV Central region and Andrea Brymer and Norman Macleod present in the STV North region. Emma Cameron is also a regular presenter on STV News.
Linda Grimes-Douglas, head of news and current affairs, STV, said: “It’s important that we keep our output looking fresh and contemporary and our new sets are dynamic, flexible spaces which allow us to provide an even stronger storytelling service on Scotland’s most-watched news programme.
“The sets help to bring our reporting team closer together for viewers. The enhanced space and technology not only create a more engaging, interactive viewing experience for every bulletin, but they also provide the perfect platform for special events like the upcoming Holyrood elections.”
Bobby Hain, STV’s MD of audience (news, audio and regulatory), said: “These changes represent a significant investment in our news service – now available across 13 different platforms – enabling people to find news they trust whenever and wherever they want it.
“Ofcom is currently progressing its review of public service media (PSM) and we welcome their recommendation that stable and adequate funding is required to sustain PSM content, and regional news in particular.”
