STV +1
On 4 January 2011, Freeview announced details for the launch of ITV +1, together with the possibility that both STV and UTV will launch their own timeshift services, STV +1 and UTV +1 in Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively. STV later confirmed that it would launch STV +1 at 8pm on 11 January 2011. The channel is available to Freeview viewers on channel 33 and Virgin Media cable customers on channel 114. The channel is not officially available on the Freesat and Sky satellite services but may be manually tuned in. There are two regional variations of STV +1; one for north and one for central Scotland.
The north receives the Aberdeen based news and advertisements and the Central Belt service carries Edinburgh-based news and advertisements allowing viewers in the East who cannot watch STV's 6pm & 10:30pm news programmes for the micro-region to watch the bulletins an hour later.
