SNS GroupSTV News journalists are taking industrial action in a dispute over pay.
The National Union of Journalists said its members had seen their pay cut in real terms following a year of record inflation.
The NUJ said it had asked for a 6% increase. The company said this was “unrealistic and unaffordable”.
Nick McGowan-Lowe, the NUJ’s national organiser for Scotland said: “Journalists at STV have not just been reporting on the cost-of-living crisis – they’ve been experiencing it too.
“The STV board needs to listen to members and come back to the table with a fair offer.”
A spokesperson for STV said: “We’ve continued to engage with the NUJ with the aim of finding resolution and we remain open to further dialogue, but their claim for an above inflation pay increase of 6% is unrealistic and unaffordable.”
There will be no STV News bulletins broadcast on Thursday.
