Peter joined YSTV at Freshers Fair 2012, after [[Matt Johnson]] insisted that they were better than URY because they had sound ''and'' video. After attending several station meetings and training sessions, Peter quickly got stuck in with crewing shows. His first major involvement was with [[Campus: A Tale of Terrors]], which he later ended up doing most of the sound oping for. | Peter joined YSTV at Freshers Fair 2012, after [[Matt Johnson]] insisted that they were better than URY because they had sound ''and'' video.

In Spring 2013, Peter tried to be involved in as much YSTV as he could. On numerous occasions, he ended up crewing multiple shows on the same day, somewhat to the detriment of his degree. Highlights include vision mixing the inaugural [[Monday Evening Live]] episode, and YSTV's NaSTAVision entry. During setup for the Elections 2013 shows, he was first exposed to the technical side of YSTV - something he has been unable to get rid of since. Despite not knowing what any of the cables or boxes actually did, plugging things in seemed easy enough. | In Spring 2013, Peter tried to be involved in as much YSTV as he could.

After helping setup [[Live on the Lawn 2013]], he was encouraged by several members of the officership to run for [[Deputy Technical Director]] - a decision he has not regretted... mostly. He spent most of the week leading up to [[Woodstock 2013]] helping test all the AV equipment ahead of a condensed one-day setup. Considering most of the internal vision path was wired up by him, it's surprising not much went wrong. | ||
Returning in the Autumn for his second year, he was 'volunteered' by Matt Johnson to direct [[Bargain Mad]]. With [[Chris Parker]] and [[Josh Hunter]] as presenters, his direction was mostly limited to making sure the show didn't go on all night. Thankfully, they ran out of things to sell an hour in. | Returning in the Autumn for his second year, he was 'volunteered' by Matt Johnson to direct [[Bargain Mad]].
