The news department produces two regional services covering STV's Channel 3 franchise areas of Northern and Central Scotland.

In the North, viewers in Tayside and northeast Fife receive a short opt-out during the main STV News at Six each weeknight.

Previously in the Central region,[3][4] viewers in the West and East areas received 5-minute bulletins within the main 6 pm programme – STV News West covered the area from Tobermory to Falkirk, with the presenter based in the main studio in Glasgow.
