The signing of new Channel 3 networking arrangements with ITV and the Secretary of State’s recommendation, in November to permit the long term renewal of the Channel 3 licences to STV in Central and North of Scotland has provided a strong platform for us to enhance the consumer experience and further build the STV brand.

STV reaches an average of 94% of Scots over the course of a month and on average attracts a higher audience share at peak time than the ITV network. STV News at Six is also currently achieving its highest audience share figures for 10 years. These are all clear indicators that STV is delivering programmes that are relevant and engaging for audiences across Scotland. Throughout 2012, STV’s transition from a traditional broadcaster to a digital media company has continued to develop as we make content readily available and free across multiple platforms anytime, anywhere. The creation of innovative, high quality and relevant material across new platforms remains key to our business and we continue to work with partners to deliver unique, compelling content wherever and whenever our consumers choose to access it.

  • STV Group Plc (“STV”)
    STV Group plc (“STV”) Background STV has developed from its roots as the commercial public service broadcaster for Scotland to become a leading digital innovator with a strong commitment to delivery of high quality public service content. This metamorphosis has largely been achieved in the last four years following the appointment of a new board and chief executive and subsequent change in strategy away from a previous course that left the company heavily indebted and on the brink of financial collapse. The reinvention of STV has been achieved through selling off non-core assets, focussing on the main STV business in Scotland and developing a complementary digital strategy. STV is committed to being an innovative commercial public service broadcaster (with Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) listing; gifted spectrum; universality on Digital Terrestrial television (DTT)). But our vision extends to a future PSB remit delivering across multi-platforms. Channel 3 has evolved over its history. That is a dynamic process and we believe it still offers the best solution – a nationwide competitive system with scale which can provide strong regional content and responsiveness to differing audience needs. STV is committed to innovative locally produced regional news: We have provided more localised news within our evening news programmes since 2007; STV provides the most locally-focussed television news service in the UK, with audience share up by more than 10% this year alone; We have recently extended our news offering by launching the only peak
