I wonder how STVHD Local news
will think of their News reports?


[It will include a news hour from 21:00, with stories from Scotland, the UK and the world.

Lord Hall has described the new channel - which will see 80 new journalists recruited - as the single biggest investment in broadcasting in Scotland for 20 years.

It will be broadcast from 19:00 until midnight every day and will have a budget of £30m - similar to the amount spent on BBC4.

There will also be an increase of about £20m a year for Scotland to make more UK-wide programmes, which will be focused on drama and factual shows.

BBC Scotland's news output on BBC One - including Reporting Scotland - will remain the same, while Gaelic channel BBC Alba will have its budget increased by £1.2m to £20m.]
