STV News at Six airs on STV Central (West and East) and STV North each weeknight at 6pm.
The main evening programmes are supplemented by shorter STV News bulletins seven days a week. On weekdays, three 2-minute bulletins are broadcast during Daybreak with the lunchtime bulletin at 1:55pm, giving a six minute round-up of the days developments. At around 8pm, there is a 1-minute round-up of the day's headlines. The late night bulletin is incorporated into Scotland Tonight on Monday - Thursday nights at 10:30pm, with a separate bulletin also airing on Friday after the ITV News at Ten. STV News also airs short early evening bulletins on Saturdays and Sundays. Short bulletins taken from the main 6pm programme also air during The Nightshift.
On weekdays, the lunchtime bulletins in the Central region are broadcast across both the West and East sub-regions while the North region receives its own lunchtime and late night bulletins. The weekend bulletins are broadcast across both the North and Central regions from Glasgow. All North, East and pan-Scottish bulletins are broadcast one hour after their original airing on STV+1. Bulletins are also available for catch-up, 30 days after broadcast on the STV News website.
