StagTV (Stag TV) is the visual broadcasting unit run by students at the University of Surrey. It is primarily run from offices on the main Stag Hill Campus, in Guildford, England;[1] it also creates content within the Students' Union, though is not affiliated with it. It is part of Stag Media, along with Stag Radio and The Stag.
Organisation[edit]
StagTV operates as an independent society, and is run by members elected annually. It was formally a core union function. The description of roles within the organisation has changed several times. The 2018/19 Station Manager is George Green.[2] The role of Assistant Station Manager was formerly called Station Secretary and Vice President. Other positions on the committee change frequently.[3][4]
History[edit]
Until 2012, the station was known as MADTV - Music and Drama TV.[1] The station has won multiple National Student Television Association (NASTA) student TV programming awards, most often the "Best Technical" award, which it took in 2014, 2015,[1] and 2016.[5]. In 2018 it won the "Technical Innovation" award.[6] It has also won Freshers' coverage and News awards.[5] The station has its own Wiki to document equipment and how to use it.[7]
The station became the subject of mockery by right-wing newspapers in 2017 after an instructional video explaining how to use Guildford town buses was found by the Daily Mail.[8] Though showing practical information for the university's large international student intake,[9] newspapers like the Daily Mail and the Daily Express threw jokes at StagTV for supposedly assuming that students who passed A-levels with the grades needed to attend the university would need to be taught to press 'stop' when they want the bus stop[9], but also for the exaggerated style it takes of showing caricatures of things and then explaining them.[8] However, the performance of the host - former StagTV President Joe Wilcock - was praised by both.[8][9]
In 2017 StagTV was at a local cinema, where students attended lectures because there was no classroom available, and interviewed some students.[10]
