P/X/002
P/X/002 was the home of YSTV from some pointUnverified or incomplete information in the 1970s until June 1993. For more information on the move, see the Interregnum page. Prior to this point programmes were broadcast from P/S/016 in the physics research labs.
The room still exists and has been renamed P/X/003 for some reason. It is located within the entrance area of P/X/001, and it now used as storage space. There is little if any evidence that YSTV was ever there from the current appearance of the room. The network broadcast and return feed cables still run through the loft space above the room, and it is used a split point to feed signal to TVs located on the Concourse area for Conferences and Fresher week.
When in operation as YSTV's colour studio (October 1986 onwards), the area was split into three rooms in a row. When entering the Station, the first room was used as a workshop and equipment store. This had a doorway which led to the Control Room, which then had another doorway through to the studio.
Prior to 1986, the first room acted as office, workshop and Control Room, and the studio space included what later became the Control Room.
