 YSTV Week was born out of a desire to produce a better news programme.  At the time [[Bulletin (again)|Bulletin]] had slowly declined from being twice daily to just twice a week, and was seen as a chore by most members.  It was decided to start a fresh with a new concept.
-YSTV Week would focus almost entirely on campus news relevent to students.  There was a gap in the market for this at the time - Vision and Nouse were being published only ever three or four weeks, and URY's The Source usually relayed national news sent to them by SBN or IRN.  Bulletin in turn had usually regurgitated the contents of the York Evening Press's website, so it was decided to do something very different, and very studenty.  Unlike [[Bulletin (again)|Bulletin]] it would be weekly, so give more time for preparation and more time to produce other genres in the studio.

 The programme would always aim to lead on a campus story, and later in the show would move onto local news or national news relevent to students, such as the top up fees debate.  After a few stories there would be a paper review, using the new remote-controlled overhead camera known as "Death Star" to look at the campus and local press.  Following this would be sports news, and then a full weather forecast using YSTV's new chroma-key mixer.  Finally there would be an "and finally" story.  Most importantly the show would have banter from the presenters, as [[Bulletin (again)|Bulletin]] had become rather dry towards the end.  The show would try to act as a "review" of the previous week, rather than the latest news, as by staying non-topical it could be repeated for the following seven days.  The YSTV News "colours" were cream and purple, and this was reflected in the graphics.
