University of Leicester Students' Union

About LUST

this is how we roll...

Established in the 1980's LUST, has seen a phenomenal growth over the last 5 years, since it restarted in2003, as the sole source of student television for the University of Leicester Students Union. We broadcast on the Queens Hall Foyer Plasma screen during term time and all year round online, in addition to showing content LIVE at nights out in the Union.

2006 saw LUST earned the right to call itself award winning, as at the annual National Student Television Association awards (held jointly by Leeds and York) LUST walked away with the NaSTA award for Best Light Entertainment Programme for Ferrit-Vision.

2007 saw growth in LUST with the purchase of new equipment allowing more ambious projects and a higher turn-around of content. Programmes such as Shag TV reaching it's peak along with the regular filming of RAG events and sports, in addition to attending the Edinburgh International Television Festival.

This year is a very special year for LUST as in March 2008 LUST, for the first time proudly hosted the NaSTA conference and awards, right here in Leicester! The event itself was a huge success seeing 250 students from over 20 television stations come to Leicester to enjoy the AGM, Golden Bodge event and of course the awards meal, held in Charles Wilson, and the awards itself held in the Queens Hall complete with cinema scale silver screen projection in place. LUST also managed to get Highly Commended for Factual and Best Broadcaster Catergories in addition to winning Best Promo.

In the future, new membership and new ideas will allow the group to evolve, buildling on the success of previous years hard work and effort.

A few simple points behind What LUST does:

1) LUST is run by students at the University of Leicester, deep in the heart of the midlands. LUST makes television for students, by students.

2) As we make television for students, the rule is Students First, Television Second.

3) Our cheesy tag line (below) underpins what we do:

YOUR INPUT: IS OUR OUTPUT

But its true, YOUR input is OUR output, so get involved. LUST is what its members make it, and if you're interested in joining come and find us in our office in the students' union or at freshers fair. (We'll be easy to spot, we'll be the ones with the cameras) or alternatively just send us an email.

4) We invite everyone to have a go:

NO EXPERIENCE: NO PROBLEM

Experience isnt an issue, just a willingness to learn and the ability to have a laugh whilst you're doing it.
