York Student Television (abbreviated YSTV) is England’s oldest student television station. Founded in 1967, the station is based at the University of York, with its studio in James College. YSTV once held the world record for longest continuous television broadcast under a single director, and is a long-standing member of the National Student Television Association (NaSTA). YSTV creates and produces a wide range of shows, both independently and in collaboration with other university societies.
Recent shows include Tea Time Chat, a weekly magazine and politics show; YorKitchen, a cookery series; YSTV Sessions, an acoustic music show; various live coverage of on and off-campus events including extensive broadcasting of Roses 2017, and irregular reports on local events under the umbrella of YSTV Reports.
YSTV first broadcast on 21 November 1967 from the University’s Chemistry department, before moving to a permanent home in the Physics department. Here it remained - despite changing rooms once - for over two decades, until in June 1993 the University asked YSTV to vacate. Following a campaign supported by students, York University Students Union, Greg Dyke and Tom Gutteridge, YSTV were offered a new studio on campus in Goodricke College (later becoming James College) which was officially opened by Greg Dyke on 29 October 1994.
At the start of the 2004/05 academic year on 10 October 2004, the station started to broadcast live on the campus intranet to student bedrooms, with on demand content available worldwide. On 13 January 2006, the station opened up its live stream to the whole world, releasing their content under a Creative Commons license. The station celebrated its 45th birthday in November 2012, and will celebrate its 50th in November 2017.
