GTV Tonight

GTV Tonight is the flagship news programme broadcast on GTV, produced by Caledonia Media. It is broadcast weekdays at 6pm, and lasts 30 minutes (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) or 60 minutes (Wednesday, Friday) in duration due to higher regional programme commitments in Scottish franchises. Its main anchors are Elaine Hughes, Stewart Irvine and Larry McDonald. It began on 22 May 2006 as tv.gael News as an obligation to Network Six regional commitments, but re-branded on 1 November 2006 as GTV Tonight to co-incide with a new look on the channel. It is produced and broadcast from Gael Studios in Oban.
