 However with a live event now needing to be filmed a 2nd production unit was required, up stepped [[Owain Davies]] to take care of the filming and integration with the feed from YUSU Ents obscenely large sound desk.
-Expectations of the live event were low as campus music events traditionally had a very low turnout but this would be the biggest CIN to date.

 ==The Programme==
+===Setting Up===
+With the programme fast approaching the whole station appeared to kick into high gear. [[Clare Mace]] went and leafleted the whole of campus in a bid to drum up a crowd for the live music event, a brief production meeting was held at Lunchtime to clear up any last minute questions over the crewing rostas.
+Staging blocks were being acquired and stored ready for the construction of the camera tower. F10's came in from the AV unit and fresh rolls of gaffer tape were being primed ready to cover the distance between the station and Goodricke Dining Hall. Things were happening!
+At the pre-show get-together a final run through of the slightly lean running order was made, along with the technical plan for the evening which also included a brief for the crew in the hall from [[Owain Davies]] as the output from the bands was to be recorded and given to the bands as a return favour for giving their services for free. [[John Barratt]] then ran through the task of preparing the dining room for both the band and the technical elements. This was also the first real opportunity for the Old YSTV hands to get a look at the new first years who had joined up just weeks earlier.
+Everyone then decamped to the dining room waiting patiently for the catering staff to finish, which they did and then promptly locked  where the tabels and chairs were supposed to go.
+In what could only be described as fast the dining room was cleared of tables and chairs in about 8 mintues 32 seconds. During the process of this small hurricane the station managed to grab several extra new members (including [[Tim Hackett]]) who at one moment were just walking across the dining room minding their own business and the next found themselves stacking chairs, moving cameras and parting with £2.50 in membership.
+YUSU events then steamed in with their new set of staging and a sound desk so large we're sure it appears in the Death Star firing sequence. And despite some of our newer members offering advice to the events sound crew on exactly how they should wire everything up the dining room was coming together.
+Back in the station things were slowly coming together, as ever there were one or two oversights that had to be resolved on the fly such as where do we plumb in the VHS recorder to record the Bands output! When faced with the question of where he should stick the VHS machine by a newbie, [[Andy Robinson]] showed a remarkable degree of control by not bludgeoning the first year to death with the said machine.
+And so at 19:20 the call went out to see if everyone was ready, and whilst the reponse wasn't the most resounding the title sequence for CIN 96 began to roll, 20 minutes later than scheduled!
+===The Broadcast===
 For Children in Need 1996, YSTV organised a band night in Goodricke dining room, featuring two campus bands - {{unsure|Sevenball and Brubaker}}.  There were cameras in the dining room filming the bands, plus a live programme from the YSTV studio.
