Open Category - YSTV Best Broadcaster

The Best Broadcaster piece was submitted for the student TV awards 2011 (NaSTA). This won the highly commended Best Broadcaster award, naming YSTV the second best Student TV Station in the UK, gaining the same marks as the winner. Judged by top media representatives, the comments were: ‘Large variety of programming of great relevance to their audience. Intelligent, innovative use of social media, and a widening of the station's influence made for a very positive year.’ Graham Little – Freelance Broadcaster (BBC/RTE/SKYSPORTS) ‘Very comprehensive broadcaster with wide range of coverage and good presentation’ Mark Linsey, BBC, Controller, Entertainment Commissioning ‘Totally gripping 10 minutes, fast paced without losing the viewer, clever editing on creative content illustrating good use of location and impressive appreciation of the importance of good sound as well as vision.’ BBC, Deputy Director of News and Head of News Programmes It was painstakingly edited together to represent all that is best about YSTV from across the year and the hard work and effort that goes into producing quality television on a very limited budget. This is by far the biggest achievement YSTV has had across the past year, and since 2006 when this was last achieved. It has established YSTV incredibly well for the next year, where the goal is to build on such a success and be named the best student television station in the UK.
