flag STV cuts 60 jobs and merges regional news to save costs amid declining viewership and revenue.

flag STV plans to cut 60 jobs and replace its separate regional news programmes for central Scotland and the north with a single Glasgow-based bulletin, citing a 23% drop in viewership for STV News At 6 and declining revenues. flag The broadcaster says the restructuring is necessary for financial sustainability and to strengthen regional coverage through digital transformation. flag Unions and politicians, including First Minister John Swinney, have criticized the move as harmful to local democracy and questioned STV’s financial decisions, including recent executive bonuses and investments. flag The changes require Ofcom approval and have sparked concerns over the future of regional journalism in Scotland.
