After toying with the idea of getting more involved in [[URY]] (where he presented shows for all three years at York) he soon saw sense and plunged head-first into YSTV, with early assignments including set-buildings on [[Games Disaster]], filming a head-shaving record attempt and persuing Prince Philip through the science park with a DV Camera. In early 2003 he was elected [[Controller of Entertainment and Drama]] and soon after produced his first show [[Have I Got News For YUSU]]. At the May 2003 [[AGM]] he became [[Production Director]], pledging to simply make more shows and decrease the amount of simulcasting of other channels. He ended up producing around a dozen shows over his time at YSTV (including [[URYVision Song Contest]] and [[Off The Cuff]]), and also oversaw a long overdue relaunch of YSTV's news output, becoming [[YSTV Week]]. | After toying with the idea of getting more involved in [[URY]] (where he presented shows for all three years at York) he soon saw sense and plunged head-first into YSTV, with early assignments including set-buildings on [[Games Disaster]], filming a head-shaving record attempt and persuing Prince Philip through the science park with a DV Camera.

He was part of the [[Gang of Four]] that had to keep the station going during dark days in mid-2003 when the majority of the station's active members left all at once, and helped recruit a new generation to ensure the station continued to operate. During this period he launched his own TV review show [[Small Screen]], which went on to run for twenty-four editions over nearly two years and win an award for "Best Light Entertainment Programme" at [[NaSTA 2004]]. The previous year had seen his [[Snow]] sequence win "Best Ident".

In his final year he held the post of [[Scheduling Manager]], indulged his love of the [[YSTV Archive]] with [[Elections Past]], showed off his embarrassing knowledge of 90s pop music on [[Children In Need 2004]] and was stalked periodically by [[Sarah Leese]]. He also managed to keep [[Small Screen]] going every fortnight despite trying to pull back (ever so slightly) from YSTV to concentrate on his degree. This must have worked to an extent as he graduated in the summer of 2005 with a 2:1. His final week in the station saw the legendary one-off [[Good Morning Campus]], the [[YUMAs]] and the final [[Small Screen]] - an exhausting but rewarding few days! | In his final year he held the post of [[Scheduling Manager]], indulged his love of the [[YSTV Archive]] with [[Elections Past]], showed off his embarrassing knowledge of 90s pop music on [[Children In Need 2004]] and was stalked periodically by [[Sarah Leese]].
