Six weeks prior to the weekend of Roses Unlocked, YUSU announced that it would be happening and that the joint broadcast of it by LA! and YSTV would be integral for members of both universities to be able to spectate. Due to the covid-19 restrictions in place, the reduced number of events would be more manageable to coordinate streaming with so little time available to plan. In total there were 11 streams, including the opening and closing ceremonies, and on top of that, it was also agreed that there would be a studio show to tie everything together across the weekend. | |||
On Roses Live, each stream would be available to watch in full with commentary provided by URY and Bailrigg FM. There would also be a 'Channel One' stream, which would be a mix of studio content and sporting content, which would show whatever sport was most in demand. It was this 'Channel One' that was broadcast to the bars around campus. | |||

YUSU additionally requested a trailer to promote Roses Unlocked. This was produced solely by YSTV and featured members of sports teams training to return to activity, as well as spectators painting signs and heading to the Forest to watch the games. It additionally featured drone footage of central hall and the sports fields. | |||
As no in-person livestreams had taken place in over 12 months, the majority of active YSTV members, many of whom had had minimal involvement prior to the covid-19 pandemic or had only joined the university that academic year, lacked the skills needed to operate a livestream. A series of training sessions were organised by [[Tilly Garland]] in order to get members up to scratch of setting up and operating a range of equipment. | |||
One of the events on the weekend was to be the Vice Chancellor and Sports' Presidents' challenge. This was a game of darts. As the Vice Chancellors were not both able to be free for Roses Weekend, this was pre-recorded the week before and then played out in full as live on the weekend. | |||
At this point in time, the covid-19 restrictions in place were that you could have no more than one individual from separate households inside in the same space at once. If you were outside, then you were able to meet in groups of no more than 6. This posed some issues in terms of operating and running livestreams. The solution to this issue was twofold. For any streams outdoors, the crew was restricted to 5 members. This was so that if needed a techie could join this group in order to fix any issues if needed. As for indoor streams, some PTZ cameras were rented (for some reason from Surrey) and were used in the place of manned cameras. Then the gallery would be setup outdoors just outside the space and again the crew would be restricted to 5 members. | |||
All transmission and encoding of the livestreams were done from YSTV's gallery space, which became known as TX. The studio space was used primarily for overnight kit storage. | |||

Roses Unlocked took place from Friday 30 April to Sunday 2 May. The weather across the weekend was heavily mixed from heavy rain on the Friday evening during the opening ceremony to warmer sunny spells such as on the Sunday afternoon. | |||
The only sporting event to take place on the Friday was the Rowing, which took place alongside the opening ceremony which was broadcast from The Forest and the Studio which was being hosted from James Beach. | |||
