YSTV has a long history of making plans for programmes and them getting quite far down the line towards actual transmission...but never quite getting there. Or in many cases being suggested (perhaps on the [[YSTV Messageboard]]) and that being it. Here are some examples. | YSTV has a long history of making plans for programmes and them getting quite far down the line towards actual transmission...but never quite getting there.

1989 - [[Image:AdversePublicity.png]] A creative moment from [[Benet Allen]] and [[John Cornley]], that survived thanks to a BBC floppy disc. | |||

*A sequel to, funnily enough, [[Joker In The Pack]]. Filming was never completed on this drama piece due to technical issues amongst other things but a trailer was shown during [[Election 97]]. However, photos taken during production of the trailer remained on the noticeboard in YSTV's foyer for a decade afterwards! | *A sequel to, funnily enough, [[Joker In The Pack]].

*A high ham, high tension, | *A high ham, high tension, game show blatantly stolen from ITV. [[Chris Ward]] was a bit of a millionaire buff, and planned to make such a programme. Around 30s of (fake) footage was filmed in the studio, a contestant musing over an answer, which was used in the [[What's new in 1999]] promo. | ||

*A sitcom, the first episode of which was full scripted by [[James Whalley]] and was available to download from the YSTV [[website]] in the autumn of 2002. Getting it filmed was discussed at the production meetings of the period but never really got off the ground, largely due to the huge techie bias in the station's membership at the time. | *A sitcom, the first episode of which was full scripted by [[James Whalley]] and was available to download from the YSTV [[website]] in the autumn of 2002.

*After listening to Radio 1's now axed overnight mainstream show [[James Thorniley]] came up with an "off the wall type book review", whatever that means. Planned to debut around the same time as Survival, so doomed from the start. | *After listening to Radio 1's now axed overnight mainstream show [[James Thorniley]] came up with an "off the wall type book review", whatever that means.

2003/4 - URY Joint Broadcast | 2003/4 - URY Joint Broadcast | ||
*In a period with rather good relations with URY it was suggested a number of times that YSTV simulcast a show. First it was mooted that the breakfast show might be shown daily with webcam output, but the necessary technical setup and automation put everyone off. Then a daily live show from Vanbrugh Bar was going to be simulcast in [[Freshers' Week]], but due to problems with the 2.4Ghz system this never happened. Finally there was half an idea to broadcast the last shows of James Wickham or [[James Gallagher]], but in the end of term way of things these never materialised.

*A [[rip-off]] of University Challenge, this time going inter-college. The final was going to be an OB from Goodricke Dining Hall, apparently, with [[James Gallagher]] suggested as a Paxman-esque host.
