Scott Brown (broadcaster)
Scott Brown is a Scottish television producer.
Brown, a former local radio presenter, was a continuity announcer for Grampian Television (now STV North) during the mid - late 1990s. He also presented various regional programmes including Grampian Headlines regional news bulletins, the BAFTA-nominated children's programme Wize Up alongside announcing colleagues Rachael Robertson and Kate Fraser and the antiques show Under The Hammer alongside Fiona Armstrong - a programme he continued to present after Grampian's in-house presentation department was closed during the summer of 1998.[1]
In March 1999, Brown teamed up with Bill Shand, a resources supervisor and studio director for STV North, to form Midas Multimedia, an Aberdeen-based company specialising in television & video production and media training. The company's productions have included The Scottish Golf Show (which Brown produced and directed) for Grampian TV, Duan Nollaig (a Scots Gaelic-language Christmas special based on the double CD of the same name by Mod Gold Medallist Fiona Mackenzie) for STV and golf-related features for CNBC Europe. In 2008, the company produced a special documentary (directed by Brown) on Donald Trump's plans to build a golf course in Aberdeenshire for BBC Alba.[2]
Brown runs Midas Multimedia alongside former Grampian/BBC Scotland presenter & producer Patricia Macleod.
