Preperations

Preparations for Roses 2019 included moving all of YSTV's editing PCs into the studio space in order to free up the whole of the control room for a TX Centre. Setup for this happened over the week leading in to Roses. Other preperations further ahead of time included site visits, various purchases (including a lot of cabling and tape), and a visit to LA1:TV.

Promotion

Roses 2019 saw Edwin Barnes fulfil a long-held wish to make a parody video of the Mitchell & Webb Look Football Sketch, promoting YSTV's Roses Coverage. This trailer was produced in colloration with ComedySoc, starred former Chair George Blackman, and was released on social media to critical acclaim. The main upshot of the trailer was a running joke around YSTV, firstly to shout 'Watch the Roses' at random times (particularly during NaSTA 2019), and secondly to say 'All the ___, All the time' in relation to almost anything. At the time of writing, this joke is yet to grow old.

Other promotion included posters (simply designed and reading 'All the Roses, all the time) and social media takeovers, based around a 'YSTV Roses' brand designed by Edwin Barnes that drew heavily from his previous 'YSTV Sport' branding work. A planned website takeover like that done for YUSU Elections 2019 never materialised.
