The studios are home to BBC Scotland and BBC Radio Scotland.[1] It is one of the largest television studios outside London,[citation needed] and one of the most digitally advanced complexes in Europe.[citation needed] It was opened by then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown in the summer of 2007. It is promised to be one of the centres for future broadcasting in United Kingdom.[citation needed]

BBC Studio Programming

[edit]

The studio is home to many Scottish and British programmes such as:

Jet Set 24, Postcode Challenge, Reporting Scotland, Newsnight Scotland, Sportscene, Children in Need & Hogmanay Live

STV Programming

[edit]

The Scottish ITV network STV produced the following Scottish programmes in their brand new complex opened in summer 2006:

Scotland Today, The Five Thirty Show, Politics Now & Scotsport. Compared to the BBC Scotland television studio it is much smaller,[citation needed] this is why STV's Postcode Challenge is recorded at the BBC Scotland HQ.[citation needed]
