===Opt-out services===
In 1989, Border began providing a sub-regional service for Scottish Borders viewers served by the [[Selkirk transmitting station|Selkirk transmitter]], consisting of a short opt-out during ''Lookaround'' each weeknight. In April 1999, the opt-out was extended to cover [[Dumfries and Galloway]] and a dedicated Scottish news bulletin was introduced on weekday lunchtimes.<ref name="publications.parliament.uk">[https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmselect/cmscotaf/549/2013003.htm Memorandum submitted by Border Television Limited], Parliament of the United Kingdom, 23 November 2001</ref>

The following August, Border began to use the opt-out service to provide split coverage of sports and occasional political programming. The station also opened an Edinburgh bureau to provide coverage of the [[Scottish Parliament]].<ref name="publications.parliament.uk"/>
