FYI, the petition.

Recently STV has started dropping high quality dramas of their schedule that is produced by ITV. I very much doubt STV will be able to produce their own high quality drama's with the well known actors we love to see on TV, for a less amount that ITV allegedly charge them. I even think this could be a tit for tat, as STV relied on money for Taggart, which ITV seemingly have requested new episodes.
Recently programmes such as The Bill has been removed with an annoucement just made that Doc Martin, the Fixer, Agatha Christi's Marple, Withering Heights and Blue Murder are to be removed as well. Also STV wont show the English FA Cup. This is an example of varying audiences they don't cater for.
To present, we have only seen Scottish History, but this won't appeal to everyone, and certainly doesn't replace the above mentioned programmes. They state they will be rolling out more new programmes in 2010. Over 4months away.
It's time STV listened to what their Audience want to watch. Without us, they are nothing, without viewing figures, they won't make money from adverts. Lets all sign, and speak out.

Quality drama

I'm interested in the direction STV are taking and will give them the grace of a couple of years to see how it pans out. But please take the opportunity to ditch that female continuity announcer, her voice is so smarmy.

When did they start broadcasting it?

To be fair, this looks like a case of ITV sneezing and STV catching the cold. I'm not the biggest follower of TV in general, but the consensus among media commentators seems to be that ITV has almost given up on drama, going instead for guaranteed income. Which is the fecking X-Factor etc. It's a business and the companies involved are trying to survive.

There used to be quality drama - any of you who don't occasionally enjoy reruns of Granada's 80s Sherlock Holmes adaptations with Jeremy Brett ought to feel ashamed.

As long as they keep showing Corrie I'll be happy.

I watched a programme with Timothy Spall about gun crime last night on ITV London. It was a good drama which STV have opted out of but what pissed me off was the amount of adverts. There must have been about 10 in an hour and 50 mins.

STV seem to have stopped showing repeats of Weir's Way late at night , more's the pity.

A couple of years back, a couple of pals and I did our self concocted " Tom Weir Prince in the heather memorial tour"
from Cannich to Glen Finnan to celebrate the wee man. Magic.

You will need to bear with the advert,
