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. There was a real desire to avoid covering national stories as it was felt national outlets could do that better with their resources, and YSTV should stick to what people would come to the station for - campus news. | 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.

There would be far more VTs previously (the final incarnation of [[Bulletin (again)|Bulletin]] would rarely carry any video content) utiliting the new [[Edit PC]], although on occasion the lack of anything to film would lead to a very verbal programme. It was occasions such as this that gave rise to the phrase "packed with fact" (as opposed to video), and eventually this became a sort of unofficial slogan for the programme - with [[Greg Dyke]] even agreeing to say "you're watching YSTV Week - packed with fact" to camera after his interview in May 2005! | ||
After a few stories there would be a paper review, using the new remote-controlled overhead camera known as [[DeathStar]] to look at the campus and local press. A 'guest publication' also became a regular feature from 2004 onwards, usually examining the latest trash-mag such as <i>Nuts</i> and <i>Chat!</i> (there were also some great death star shots of a nude model whilst the presenters were reviewing <i> Attitude</i> magazine). The paper review was really only included to pad out the show to thirty minutes, as [[Bulletin (again)|Bulletin]] had a reputation for being ridiculously short towards the end. However even after the news content increased the section stuck as a relaxed "half way" point between the serious news and more light-hearted items , and it was even carried over to [[YSTV News]]. | After a few stories there would be a paper review, using the new remote-controlled overhead camera known as [[DeathStar]] to look at the campus and local press.
