STV North and Brandon here gave us a spot on TV when by rights we didn't deserve one. Back then all we had were some ideas and a newly formed campaign group. The least we can do is share this petition and help, please take a minute to sign it.
STV News North is packed with experience and good people, who are amongst the very best in business working tirelessly to deliver programming for the distinct Grampian region. Their consistently high ratings reflect that. Scrapping successful local news is not the answer.
