It is unlikely that any commercial services local to Glasgow will appear on a transmitter serving Stirling, which is a bit too far outside such servie area. However, if you are thinking about the Scotish Television services based in Glasgow, then you will need to ask them directly, try enquiries@stv.tv.

Is there a problem with the Craigkelly transmitter? All channels dropped about 07:45 (10-Sep-16), and have not reappeared.
