On the expectation that a resignation announcement by Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was imminent, the BBC Scotland channel came on air earlier than usual – just before 11am – for a live simulcast of the BBC News channel.

Within minutes, BBC One Scotland had deployed its rarely used IPP graphic, pointing viewers to the BBC News channel.

The new copy of ITVBe has just popped up on channel 791, at least in some regions. This will eventually swap places with the old copy of ITVBe on the channel list.
