Greg Dyke is a friend of YSTV. Although it isn't thought he was a member during his time at the university during the early 1970s (his work with Nouse appears to be his only involvement with campus media) he has supported YSTV on a number of occasions, most notably when he and [[Tom Gutteridge]] (a former member turned TV executive, then in charge of Mentorn Television) urged the university to allocate new studio space to the society in 1993/4. He, along with Gutteridge and the late Richard Whitely, were guests at the opening of the [[G/046|current studio]] in October 1994. | Greg Dyke is a friend of YSTV.

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. | |||
