History
Construction of Otaniemi student village finished in the early 1950s. Soon after that a central radio named OtaRadio was established. The student village served as housing during the 1983 World Championships in Athletics. This led to building a cable-TV network serving the apartments. The cable network enabled the student union (TKY) to create its own channel, OtaTV. The former telephone exchange was transferred in to a TV studio. OtaTV and OtaRadio soon merged and formed OUBS. Until the end of 20th century, OUBS also was responsible for maintaining the cable network, both infrastructure and channels.
