Contents

Before the merger of Scottish TV and Grampian TV in 2006 to become "STV", the Scottish broadcasters shared Hogmanay programming since their parent company, SMG was formed in 1997.

Broadcasts

The programme is broadcast in STV's licensed areas of Central Scotland and the North of Scotland. The rest of the ITV network (known as ITV1) usually broadcasts a special ITV News programme leading into the New Year.
