Virginia Tech TV is a student run organization based out of Squires Student Center on the Virginia Tech campus. VTTV provides television programming unique to our community that would otherwise not be available. We provide an opportunity for members of the college to learn all aspects of production and management related to the field of television and broadcast media.
VTTV began in the spring semester of 1988 as a class implemented by the Communication Studies Department of Virginia Tech. The class was sponsored in cooperation with Communication Network Services (CNS), which provided equipment, installation, and a channel on which to broadcast. After one semester, the class was not offered again. Students in the class felt the need to organize and approached Student Budget Board to request funds to buy more equipment and promote the station. The students in the class elected a general manager and management staff and the first general meeting was held in the fall semester of 1989. VTTV approached the Student Media Board in November 1990 and was accepted as a member of the board. In 1997, VTTV separated away from the University, in conjunction with the other student media organizations to form the Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech (EMCVT).
To this day, VTTV is broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on Channel 33 inside the Virginia Tech dorms. The constantly changing set of shows is also available off campus through YouTube.
