  • Grampian Television (now legally known as STV North Ltd and referred to on-air as STV) is the ITV franchisee for the North of Scotland, based in Aberdeen. Its coverage area includes the Scottish Highlands, Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee and parts of north Fife. It has been in operation since 30 September 1961. STV North is now owned and operated by STV Group plc, which also owns another Scottish ITV franchise, Scottish Television, based in Glasgow and serving Central Scotland. STV North's regional news programme for the North of Scotland is called North Tonight and is supplemented by short news bulletins seven days a week. Alongside regional news, STV North produces Scottish Gaelic-language programming, in association with independent production company Kenyon Communications. Recent English-language regional programming has been produced by SMG Productions in Glasgow and other independent production companies or co-produced with STV Central for broadcast in both regions. The station also produces a regular online video blog entitled Northern Exposure and regional television commercials. Some of the most recent regional programmes produced by the station include the popular Beyond Explanation, presented by Dundonian actor Brian Cox, which looked at mysterious sightings across Scotland over the last few centuries. Another production was Unsolved: Getting Away With Murder, which covered past unsolved criminal cases in Scotland. The series drew high viewing figures and there was an increase the number of calls made to the police by witnesses of various events who had seen the programme. Less popular productions include Where's Your Head At?, a low-budget production which interviewed a selection of people about seemingly irrelevant issues, but did not gain high ratings. Both STV North and STV Central, together with their counterpart UTV in Northern Ireland, have resisted adopting the generic ITV1 branding that is now commonplace throughout regions in England, Wales and Southern Scotland that are owned by ITV plc.In 2008, the United Kingdom plans to begin its 5-year programme to cease analogue television broadcasts as part of the switchover to digital television, with the STV North region switching over from May till October 2010.
