STV News Tonight - a UK first
STV News Tonight was the UK's first integrated news programme. The nightly 7pm show combined Scottish, UK and International news, in one programme.
It covered stories that interest Scottish audiences, stripping out the national news stories that don't affect Scottish audiences
Halla was the lead anchor of the show, bringing her international experience and outlook to the programme. Among the stories covered: the Barcelona Terror Attacks, the North Korean nuclear tests, the Chinese President's power grab, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, the Donald Trump Presidency, and the famine in South Sudan. All coverage aimed specifically at Scottish audiences.
