I was heartened to find so many protests about the removal of  'The Bill' from the STV schedules. This has happened on so many occasions before with other programmes but surely never with such a popular programme as  this. I e-mailed  STV to protest in  the strongest possible terms but their reply in no way addressed my complaint.  The best they could do was to assure me that they were pursuing a strategy of providing programmes more relevant to Scotland!!!  - the last thing I wanted to hear if past experience is anything to go by.  I will  be extremely disappointerd if ITV don't manage to find a way around this for the sake of your loyal Scottish viewers.
