	~~== 'Relocation' of Goodricke ==~~
	In October 2009 Goodricke College was officially "rehomed" on the new Heslington East campus, with the former buildings that comprised it being re-allocated to James College. This means that although still in the same location, YSTV can now be found in James College.

	During the summer of 1994 YSTV moved into G/046. They were no strangers to this room as it had been used as the control room for Election Night for the two preceding years. The previous occupiers of the room were the Psychology department, now on their way to a purpose built block next to James College. They had tailored it to their own requirements with a series of small partitioned areas within the main room. See the [[interregnum]] page for details on the story leading up to YSTV's move into G/046. At this point the SU offices and several other societies were located along the same corridor in Goodricke College so it seemed a sensible place for YSTV to join them.

			The most dramatic upheaval in YSTV's history occurred in June 1993 when the society was forced to vacate its studios and broadcast base in the Physics Department ([[P/X/002]]) in order to make way for the expansion of the department and construction of the Exhibition Centre. The centre would need somewhere to store tables and chairs when conferences were in place, and it was decided YSTV's studio would be used for this purpose. YSTV [[Closure\|ceased broadcasting]] (and making programmes) on 19th June 1993.

			==Impact==
			At first, the University administration were not inclined to offer any alternative space at all to the society, although there was a suggestion of a move to the York St. John's campus on the other side of the city.
			After raising a petition on campus, support from the Student's Union and an intervention by [[Tom Gutteridge]], [[Richard Whitely]] and [[Greg Dyke]], the society was offered first 600 square feet of space in Wentworth, and then the current 900 square foot studio in Goodricke [[G/046]].

			This was not to be available until Spring 1994 however, leaving the society led by [[Karen Bagley]] to operate without a base for the intervening period. Whilst major broadcasts like [[Election Night 1994]] and [[Children In Need 1993]] were put out from temporary facilities, regular programme making came almost to a halt with equipment stored in the Physics plant room (S/010), the top of Central Hall, student rooms, and a garage round the back of Wentworth, with [[Karen Bagley]]'s first floor room in Vanbrugh X block (now Grimston House) acting as temporary office space.
