Figure 2.9 Hours of regionalised output by genre and broadcaster, 2010
The BBC and ITV1/STV/UTV produced a total of 11,046 hours of programmes for the English regions, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2010, up 6% from 10,439 hours in 2009.
The number of hours produced specifically for viewers in Scotland was up 14% from 2009 to 1,881 hours compared to a 13% increase since 2005. This compares to a UK-wide average decline of 9% over this five-year period.
The number of hours for non-news/non-current affairs in Scotland was up by 26%, from 2009. The sizeable increase in non-news/non-current affairs output is likely to be explained by STV opting out of more networked content on Channel 3.
