GUST's evolution
1964 Glasgow University Student Television was founded as a standalone society dedicated to the appreciation of what was a relatively new phenomenon. |
|
1960s Programmes were not recorded in the early days, but played live in lecture theatres and other parts of the campus. |
|
1967 The University established their television studio in Southpark House, and it is still in use today by the Media Production Unit, Film & Television Studies students and GUST. |

Late 80s/early 90s Legend has it that GUST bought a RF line for just £1, which allowed them to transmit programmes across campus, with screens in places like the QM and the Hub. |

Mid-2000s GUST stopped broadcasting via the RF line when the company who owned it sold it off and it wasn’t replaced. |
