The YSTV clock was introduced in 1999 as a way of identifying the station before live programmes begin, and making it easier for the director to count down a production to its on air point. The software was written by [[Matt Hammond]] to run on an Acorn A3010 computer. Later modifications were made to the software to keep the machine in sync with the correct time. The software has been rewritten by [[Michael Cullen]] with help from [[Nathan Lasseter]] to run on a significantly more modern machine. This is currently work in progress, and will probably result in a new clock face soon. | The YSTV clock was introduced in 1999 as a way of identifying the station before live programmes begin, and making it easier for the director to count down a production to its on air point.
