2011/12

The Station Manager for this year is Robert Leventhall. Due to the grand scale NUTS began to undertake, it became obvious that the station needed to expand itself into a more manageable position. Constitutional changes from the previous year were implemented and a new executive structure was determined for this academic year. This removed the position of Deputy Station Manager and Marketing Officer, which were replaced with the introduction of the Technical Director, General Secretary, Director of Content, Training Officer and Publicity & Events Officer. (Training Officer was a position previously, but was removed from the 2010/11 exec.)

NUTS has also taken its biggest challenge to date, in organising its first reality show, The Hall. The show consisted of over 50 hours of continuously streaming live broadcast, the longest ever continuous broadcast by NUTS. The show took place over the weekend of 14th-16th October 2011.

NUTS will also host the NaSTA 2012 Conference & Award ceremony, on 20th-22nd April 2012.

Organisation

The NUTS office/studio is located in room C41 in the Portland building of the University of Nottingham

. The studio is used for recorded segments, as well as the majority of live productions.

Almost all aspects of the station are run by the members of the NUTS executive committee, with four of the channels having their own head. Each show's producer has a certain degree of control with regards to their productions, but must be agreed to by the Director of Content.

Productions

At the start of every semester, NUTS members are asked to forward ideas for shows they wish to produce.
As well as this, as of 2010, all of the channels have their 'major coverages' of the year, each of which have a Coverage Producer (not nessecairily the Head of Channel) chosen by the NUTS Executive Committee - Entertainment hosts Notts Got Talent, Culture hosts Summer Party, News hosts the SU Elections, and Sport hosts the Charity Varsity Series

Varsity Series (Nottingham universities)

The Varsity Series comprises a number of sports events pitching the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University against each other in a university rivalry, organised for the benefit of charity. The university that wins the most events is declared winner. One point and half a point are...

. Week One is classified under Entertainment, but as it is held at the start of the year before the first week of studies, it is produced by the Station Manager and/or the Director of Content.


The NUTS website also holds a section called China, exhibiting videos produced by NUTS China. In the UK, these are broadcast under a collective banner, even though they can be split into the previously mentioned categories. China is the only channel without a Head, as it is controlled by the Station Manager of NUTS China.

All shows are listed with their producer(s).
