-[[Image:fresherstalks1.jpg|right|thumb|YSTV's projection at Freshers' Talks 2002]]The annual Monday morning/afternoon "welcome to York"-fest organised in Central Hall by YUSU.  Since 2002 YSTV has provided coverage for the big screen, usually interspersed with propoganda videos sometimes made by The [[Cinematography Society]].[[Image:fresherstalks2.jpg|left|thumb|Backstage at Freshers' Talks 2002]]Although requiring minimal planning and not exactly winning a [[NaSTA]] award for originality the event is invaluable for indoctrinating virtually every fresher on their second day at York with various giant YSTV logos and promotional films, as well as showing them the sort of thing we do.  The event has never been broadcast, although sometimes highlights VTs have been salvaged for the news programme of the time from the footage filmed.
