DONALD KIRKBRIDE: No, it won't. STV2 is a local channel which will replace STV Glasgow & STV Edinburgh next week and will also launch in Aberdeen, Dundee and Ayr. The only way to watch it outside these areas is on STV's website, the STV Player app or Sky channel 117/168 in areas that have STV on 103.
See
STV2 start date and reception details announced - a516digital
for coverage details.
