How'd we get here?

Vanderbilt Television (VTV) began as Vanderbilt Video Productions in September 1985. The organization's initial focus was videotaping events produced by other student organizations and the production of a video yearbook. The organization evolved into a television station in 1992 and began to shift its focus on producing original programming created by students for students. The group officially became VTV in 1997.

At any given time, VTV has a staff of more than 50 students who serve as on-air talent, producers, program crew members, and technicians. The VTV executive staff is comprised of students, who fill the roles of Station Manager, Program Director, Production Manager, and the Outreach Coordinator/Promotions Director.

All VTV staff members serve on a voluntary basis as VTV is not affiliated with any major or minor at Vanderbilt. VTVers join VTV for the fun and thrill of working in the television world.
