Jonathan Bufton
Hello, I'm Jonathan. I joined YSTV in October 2002 and graduated in July 2005 and was one quarter of the Gang of Four. During this time I was...
Controller of Entertainment and Drama for a bit in 2003, Production Director 2003-4, Commercial Director twice - in the summer of 2004 and again in the summer of 2005 (must have been a heat thing!) and Scheduling Manager 2004-5.
I produced or co-produced Have I Got News For YUSU, YSTV Week at launch (and the Greg Dyke Special), Small Screen, Children In Need 2003, Elections 2004, URYVision Song Contest, Elections Past, YSTV's Bloomers and Good Morning Campus. Oh, and Off The Cuff, but I don't like to talk about that. I also "performed" in the "Snow" ident that won Best Ident at NaSTA 2003. I am referred to sometimes as "Buffy The Bulletin Slayer" (usually by Dave Baker), a reference to my surname and the fact that I axed Bulletin.
I'm now a Broadcast Scheduler for ITV1 in London. Oh, and that Kate Rushworth woman who did something to do with news seems to hang around.
