More balanced sports news

I see that STV has lost out in it's bid to retain the news accross Scotland http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8586964.stm I wonder if we will get less OF and a much more balanced sports coverage ?.

I live in Edinburgh yet get the Glasgow news on STV! Really annoying.

If you think STV is bad then you should see the drivel that we're forced to watch in Peebles.

We're approximately 40mins from Holyrood but are forced to accept "local news" from the Tyne Tees area, Isle of Man, Carlisle, Aspatria and god knows where else.

The coverage of the Borders area is scant to say the least and I'm sure the majority of the population would gladly accept STV as their local news provider.

Fortunately I can tune into STV via Sky but not everyone will have this choice.
