Some people say that Studio Comms are the last thing to be set up and the first thing to go wrong when a YSTV programme is made. Conceived for Breaker 88, and still in regular use in YSTV's studios in 2007. | Some people say that Studio Comms are the last thing to be set up and the first thing to go wrong when a YSTV programme is made.

Some time in {{unsure|1995 or 1996}}, Owain adapted the system to give a line level output (loose description) from one of the control boxes to feed into the SVHS machine on one of the audio channels. Channel separation was pretty good on the stereo track of the SVHS. This was done on-the-quiet for Election Night, where the SVHS machine had the honour of recording the proceedings. After the programme, there was a complaint about some comments being made over the comms systems about one of the guests. The tape was reviewed, and as it happened, the control box that was tapped turned out to be the producer's as opposed to the directer, so the issue could not be resolved categorically (I believe the line at the time, was that there was nothing on the tape). Never the less, it did provide an interesting retrospective into the mechanics of the program. | Some time in {{unsure|1995 or 1996}}, Owain adapted the system to give a line level output (loose description) from one of the control boxes to feed into the SVHS machine on one of the audio channels.

As it approaches its 20th birthday it's not clear when a brave soul will step forward with a design for a new wireless digital comms system. | |||
