Presumably STV AD will appear on 853 in Scotland and ITV AD will become encrypted for them. In the unlikely event that ITV is pulled from VM, at least eight impaired people in Scotland won't now lose their audio description service.
Actually, thinking about it, they could simply put STV AD on 103 in Scotland and let people decide whether to switch it on or not.

STV is technically made up of STV Central and STV North (formerly Grampian) both of which have regional news opt-outs. STV has 4 different versions centred around Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee. So not as simple as just putting a single feed on 103.
I'm told that last night's scan showed that STV AD has now replaced ITV AD in the NIT of VM's "Code Download Test (Portsmouth)" network. Indicating that the feed is now being tested centrally. The "hidden" flag in the EPG section of the SDT had been removed.
OB may prefer to interpret this as STV AD being tested by Dianne Abbott but... there you go.
