Chris Young

Chris Young was elected Assistant Production Director in May 2010. He succeeded Alex Balmer, who consequently became Production Director at the same time. Chris has produced many shows, including Summer Ball 2010 and "Behind the scenes at... Return to the Forbidden Planet" (a production from Happily Ever After Soc). Chris is also currently producing a fortnightly show named "ystv spotlight", a magazine style show presented by Luke Malkin.

Chris has also appeared on the pilot show of Fast Food, resulting in three and a half times more views than the latest episode of Your Answer's Rubbish thanks to him wearing a rather fetching sweater vest. As a result, Chris was drafted in to be a contestant on the next episode of Rubbish in a successful attempt to pick up viewer figures. Other roles on screen have included presenting sections of Roses 2010 in Lancaster and the final three hour prime-time slot of Woodstock 2010.

At Woodstock, Chris also tried his hand at directing and camera work. Chris can often be found with a handheld on his shoulder, even when not filming, and often still with the lens cap on. It makes him look even hotter than he already is though. Phwoar.

Outside of YSTV, Chris was elected YUM Chair in March 2010. The major change he has pioneered since being elected has been to push through the rewriting of the Media Charter, aimed at safeguarding the political freedoms of the media and better defining what limits YUSU can place on the media societies.

Other media links include having a radio show on URY and being Chief Subeditor of Nouse 2009-2010.
