Closure: Difference between revisions

The programme had two parts.  The first was presented in the studio from presenters [[Karen Bagley]] ([[Station Director]] at the time) and [[David Bartlett]] (the previous year's [[Station Director]]), who apologised for interruping the programming and went on to explain why YSTV's programme and simulcasts would shortly disappear from campus monitors.  They acknowledged that there had been problems, and specifically referred to financial problems, but that they had always tried their best to bring the best service to campus.  They ended by asking students to sign the petition to save the station. Over 25 per cent of the campus signed the petition.  

The second part was a compilation of highlights from the station's archive, then comprising around ten years, put together by [[Mark Hansgate]].  This was set to "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.  Many of the clips featured are not thought to be currently held by YSTV in any other form so the programme is quite a valuable representation of YSTV in the 1980s and early 1990s.  The programme ended with a shot of the "YSTV crew" taken from 1993's [[Open Day]] programme, a reminder YSTV would close down on 19th June 1993, and another appeal to sign the petition.  It's actually quite moving, and can be seen in [[Small Screen]]'s Autumn 2004 week 6 programme [[http://ystv.york.ac.uk/watch/vids.php?cat=4 here]], when it was re-screened to mark ten years since the [[G/046|Goodricke studio]] was opened.
