After [[Elections 2003]], due to technical problems, didn't get on air until 9.30pm, and members were pulling trolleys of equipment across campus until 7am the following morning, it was decided that there would be changes to the format of the election results programme in 2004. | After [[Elections 2003]], due to technical problems, didn't get on air until 9.30pm, and members were pulling trolleys of equipment across campus until 7am the following morning, it was decided that there would be changes to the format of the election results programme in 2004. It was decided early on that the sort of problems experienced the year before could be made even worse due to the lack of active members at the start of 2003/4. It was also an ideal time to try something new as so many members had graduated after 2003's programme. As a result it was decided to try and anchor the night from YSTV's Goodricke headquarters, with only an OB-style setup taken down to Derwent. This would mean we wouldn't have such a race against time to dismantle the set in Goodricke and reassemble it in Derwent (and then dump it back in Goodricke until it was put back together sometime after Easter). It was also decided to re-use the previous year's set and theme tune. This mean more time could be spent on preparing for the content for the night itself. | ||
Over time it was decided that links presenters and graphics would be based back at Goodricke HQ, and Derwent would be home to interviews and obviously coverage of the results themselves. There was also a desire for the "filler" programmes to be more linked to the content of the programme. Finally presenters would be encouraged not to dress overly smartly - partly as there was no need to do otherwise and partly to make a stand against URY (that's University RADIO York) who always wore smart suits. | Over time it was decided that links presenters and graphics would be based back at Goodricke HQ, and Derwent would be home to interviews and obviously coverage of the results themselves.
