STV chairman Margaret Ford said of the appointments: I am delighted Christian and Anne Marie will join the STV Board. Both will bring insight and new perspectives to STV as we embark on the next phase of the growth strategy. I look forward to working with both of them in due course as we continue to create value for shareholders."
STV is launching its new television channel for Glasgow at the start of next month.
A seperate service for Edinburgh pencilled in to begin broadcasting in December.
In addition, the company has also recently overhauled its branding and that will be unveiled alongside the new channel.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
