GlamTV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GlamTV is the student TV station of the University of Glamorgan. It was founded as student society in the 2005/06 academic year by Robert Holbach and Kevin McMullin. Its first year of productions included a regular drama series, regular news, and featurettes about music entertainment, a sign language course, St David's Day and a race between a QPod and a racing cyclist, as well as videos of Rhondda Cynon Taff Ethnic Minority Young Achievers Awards winners, and the awards ceremony. GlamTV content can be watched in the Student Union building (Baa Bar) on selected dates, and some is available online, through YouTube and the GlamTV website.
The Sunday Times mentioned GlamTV as among "six of the best" student TV stations in an article on September 17th, 2006, describing one of the programmes as "cult viewing". This despite being the youngest student TV station in Britain at the time.[citation needed]
GlamTV is a member of NaSTA, and the only currently registered student TV station in Wales. Of NaSTA stations, it has a fairly small annual output of shows.
In May 2006, elections were held and Kevin McMullin was re-elected Chair (also known as Station Controller or Technical director), and Danielle Symonds-Yemm to the role of secetary. Another candidate for the role of Chair, Jordanna Grace Millward since became the Creative Director, and Rosemary John, star of "Mildly Messed Up" (the regular drama series) became the Treasurer.
