- Television stations in Scotland
Viewers in Scotland receive four or five public terrestrial television stations. All of these are regional variants/opt-outs upon British television channels
The Scottish-based channels are:
* BBC One Scotland
* BBC Two Scotland
* An ITV station depending on region:
** Scottish Television which is based in Glasgow and covers the central belt of Scotland. It is owned by STV Group plc, a company which evolved from the station, and since became solely interested in its core TV business once again.
** Grampian Television which is based in Aberdeen, and covers Tayside, the North East and Highlands and Islands. It is also owned by STV Group, and differs little from Scottish in its regional programming, other than the local news and weather.
**"Note: Both Scottish TV and Grampian TV are now known as STV."
** Border Television (known on air as ITV1 Border), which is based just over the border in Carlisle, England. Border TV covers both the Scottish and English borderlands and the crown dependency of the Isle of Man.
*BBC Alba, a Scottish Gaelic Language channel launched in September 2008.
In addition to the three Scottish stations, the country also receives two UK-wide channels, as well as a multitude of European digital and satellite stations:
* Channel 4
* Five, whose broadcast coverage is limited, and is often difficult or impossible to receive.
There is also a Freeview Scottish Gaelic TV channel, Tele-G.
There was previously a local station broadcast across Lanarkshire:
