Background
STV Studios is the production arm of the STV Group plc. It was originally founded on August 31, 1957 as Scottish Television Enterprises by Roy Thomson. In 2000, they were reorganised into SMG Productions before being renamed to STV Productions in 2008. The "Scottish Television Enterprises" name was still used on several programmes until 2005. In 2019, the company renamed to its current name. Some of their most well known programmes include Taggart and Take the High Road.
