During this visit Greg agreed in principle to appearing at [[NaSTA 2006]], which was held in Leeds and co-hosted by YSTV and LS:TV. On the morning of 1st April 2006 he was interviewed by [[Jonathan Bufton]] about his memories of student media, his career in television and also answered questions from students from many different stations. There was also a minor exclusive given to [[NaSTA]] in the form of his first public comment on his failed takeover bid for ITV, which had stalled days earlier. | During this visit Greg agreed in principle to appearing at [[NaSTA 2006]], which was held in Leeds and co-hosted by YSTV and LS:TV.

Greg | Greg recorded a 40th anniversary video greeting, as he was unable to visit the [[Birthday Party]] due to prior commitments. Partly as a result of the relationship established via [[Small Screen]] two years earlier, London student TV station [[stoic]] kindly agreed to record his message in their studio and send it up to York, where it was played on the night during the other speeches and presentations. | ||
In 2015, during Greg's final year as Chancellor of the University, he gave YSTV a parting gift in the form of a substantial monetary donation. This money was put to use getting us another set of HD vision equipment and a new (digital) sound desk. | |||
