A new high-definition TV channel will be launched in Scotland in time for the World Cup.
STV HD will begin broadcasing on June 11th on Freeview channel 51 and Virgin Media channel 113.
According to STV News, the broadcaster is currently working with Sky, Freesat and the ITV network to make STV HD available on satellite services as soon as possible.
The new HD channel will carry all the World Cup games exclusive to STV throughout the tournament in high definition, the broadcaster says.
