University of Houston Student Video Network
- University of Houston Student Video Network
The University of Houston Student Video Network or SVN is a student-run television network at the University of Houston. It is one of several fee-funded organizations on-campus, and broadcasts through Channel 6 on the University of Houston's "Cougar Vision" cable network.
It was started in 1974 in the building that PBS station KUHT currently operates in.
In 1985, KUHT decided to take over the building and the student operated television station was shut down.
Several members of that organization decided to pull resources together and create their own student operated video network on campus. They decided to work under Campus Activities to increase the chance of survival.
In the early 1990s students were able to come to the Student Video Network and create their own productions that were then aired on a closed circuit television station that students who lived on campus could watch.
In 2001, Tropical Storm Allison flooded out the entire studio damaging equipment and software, making the Student Video Network obsolete.
In 2003, University of Houston's Campus Activities decided to restart the program, only playing new video releases with the future intent of bringing back student productions.
In 2006, Gus Forward, a Business Administration undergrad, worked with Campus Activities advisor's as the first President of the organization to allow students to work on original productions and increase the amount of equipment used.
In the summer of 2007, Gus Forward stepped down and Tommy Lee Kirby, a Media Productions undergrad, took over and worked on increasing operating space and obtaining new video equipment.
Currently, the Student Video Network runs at least five original student productions each semester and allows any student to gain hands on equipment outside of the classroom in all fields of television network production.
