STV Edinburgh will launch in early January 2015 on Virgin Media, Sky and Freeview.
STV has today confirmed it has submitted applications to Ofcom to deliver local TV in Aberdeen, Ayr and Dundee.
The applications have been submitted in partnership with Robert Gordon University and North East Scotland College in Aberdeen, the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) in Ayr, and Abertay University and Dundee and Angus College in Dundee.
