YSTV Week would focus almost entirely on campus news relavent to students. There was a gap in the market for this at the time - Vision and Nouse were being published only ever three or four weeks, and URY's The Source usually relayed national news sent to them by SBN or IRN. Bulletin in turn had usually regurgitated the contents of the York Evening Press's website, so it was decided to do something very different, and very studenty. Unlike [[Bulletin]] it would be weekly, so give more time for preparation and more time to produce other genres in the studio. | YSTV Week would focus almost entirely on campus news relavent to students.

The programme would always aim to lead on a campus story, and later in the show would move onto local news or national news relavent to students, such as the top up fees debate. After a few stories there would be a paper review, using the new remote-controller overhead camera known as "Death Star" to look at the campus and local press. Following this would be sports news, and then a full weather forecast using YSTV's new chromakey mixer. Finally there would be an "and finally" story.

Most importantly the show would have banter from the presenters, as [[Bulletin]] had become rather dry towards the end. The show would try to act as a "review" of the previous week, rather than the latest news, as by staying non-topical it could be repeated for the following seven days. The YSTV News "colours" were cream and purple, and this was reflected in the graphics. | ||
The programme recycled the set from [[Elections 2003]], designed and built by [[John Biltcliffe]] and [[Andrew Talbot]]. This was also to be used for [[Bona Dicta]] and future [[Elections]] programmes in order to build a corporate image for YSTV's News and Current Affairs output, similar to the BBC since 1999. In addition, two arangements of the same piece of up-beat library music were used for these programmes. The titles were a fast-paced compilation of shots from around the university, edited by [[Dave Baker]], with words superimposd by [[Ed Jellard]]. However these words were dropped in favour of the "clean" version in January 2005. The set was also repainted a darker colour in January 2006. Other than these, the show remained broadly similar for its three years on air. | The programme recycled the set from [[Elections 2003]], designed and built by [[John Biltcliffe]] and [[Andrew Talbot]].
