STV has revealed that it has teamed up with Glasgow Caledonian University and Edinburgh Napier University to submit applications to Ofcom for TV licenses for the two regions.

If accepted, this would mean the creation of Glasgow TV (GTV) and Edinburgh TV (ETV), and provide media students with the opportunity to train in a live environment and new employment opportunities in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The application proposes peak time content, including extensive locally relevant news and current affairs programming together with a range of tailored magazine shows.

Bobby Hain, director of channels at STV, said: “GTV and ETV are well placed to offer innovative and viable local TV options for Glasgow and Edinburgh. We’re delighted to be working with our leading university partners to offer informative content that focuses on relevant, community news.

“Engaging with local communities is at the heart of GTV and ETV and our proposals will deliver brand new services that will meet the needs of these two culturally distinct cities.”
