P/S/016 was YSTV's second home after the initial broadcasts from the Chemistry department. Located in the single story Physics laboratory area, this {{unsure|was first set up as a Rediffusion studio}}, and  connected to LTC directly by the University's CCTV system. It also acted as a switch point for cables coming in from all over the Physics department, intended to allow experiments to be broadcast live around campus.

?? Anything else we know ??
 
At an {{unsure| unknown point in the late 1970s or early 1980s}} YSTV's studio moved to [[P/X/002]] in the Physics concourse underneath the teaching tower block. The move did not leave YSTV completely absent from P/S/016 however, as video and audio going to and from LTC still passed through the equipment racks located there. This continued to be the case after YSTV's move to [[G/046]], and so a minor panic ensured when the room was re-used by the physics department as a computational physics laboratory in {{unsure|1995??}} and the racks removed. YSTV's cables were moved into a vertical cabinet at the side of the room, where they ran unattended and unbeknown to the room's guardians until the next round of refurbishment in 2005, when the mains supply was lost. After a panic and much hunting (no-one had written down where the equipment was), they were found, rewired and replaced to keep YSTV broadcasting to campus.
