Editing Taggart (section)

===ITV/STV dispute===
[[ITV plc]], the company that operates the [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] network franchises in England, Wales and southern Scotland, failed to announce whether it planned to show any new episodes of ''Taggart'', prompting [[STV (TV channel)|STV]] to suspend production of the programme in September 2009. STV announced in November 2009 that it would produce new episodes of ''Taggart'' for broadcast in 2010 regardless of whether [[ITV plc]] decided to screen it.

In February 2010 it was announced that ITV and STV had put their wider commercial differences to one side to make a new series, which Scottish viewers got to see first. The two broadcasters co-commissioned a six-part series of the show; [[UKTV]] also invested in return for repeat rights. New episodes of ''Taggart'' debuted on STV in autumn 2010 before being broadcast on ITV across the rest of the UK in 2011. The UKTV Channel [[Alibi (TV channel)|Alibi]] showed the episodes in 2013. Online catch-up of the new series was not available to users of [[STV Player]] until the show had been broadcast on ITV and [[UTV (TV channel)|UTV]].
