K09VR channel 9, known on-air as TSTV (or Texas Student Television, formerly KVR-TV) is the student-run television station of The University of Texas at Austin, operated by Texas Student Media. Founded in 1995, it is one of only a handful of FCC-licensed television stations in the country that are entirely run by students.

The station operates with a low-power license, serving central Austin, Texas and also can be seen over campus and on cable 15 or 51 on cable systems serving the University. The Austin Community Access Center on Time Warner Cable's channel 16 offers a weeknightly block of TSTV from 9PM to 10PM.

TSTV's own programs are seen weekdays from 8PM to 11PM and are re-aired the next day from noon-3pm; the remainder of the day consists of Bloomberg (everyday, 7AM to 9AM), infomercials (everyday, 5AM to 7AM) and Fuse (all other times).

The station features such long time shows such as "KVR News 9," "Sneak Peek," "College Crossfire," "ATX Most Wanted," and "Videogame Hour Live."

Newer shows include the Campus Loop, which was nationally syndicated on the College Broadcast network. It aired from 1999 until 2001.

Notable Hollywood personalities have appeared on several of the station's shows or segments, including Pauly Shore, Mark Cuban, Dennis Quaid and Robert Rodriguez.

Writer, producer and director Wes Anderson was briefly affiliated with the station as a student at the University. Here, he met future collaborator, Owen Wilson.
