STV has announced it is cutting around 60 jobs as part of cost-saving measures following a drop in advertising revenue and a deterioration in the content commissioning market.
The Glasgow-based broadcaster says the cuts represent 10% of the company’s workforce and is seeking to make savings worth £2.5m by the end of next year.
It also announced plans to replace its central belt and north of Scotland news with a single programme presented from Glasgow that will incorporate news reporting from across the country.
The move requires permission from the regulator Ofcom and a consultation is expected to begin shortly.
