about NaSTA

The National Student Television Association, or NaSTA as it is more commonly known, is the only group of its kind in the country: a representative body designed for and governed by student television for student television.

Student Television has been active in the UK since 1964, and NaSTA was formed in 1973.

NaSTA exists to not only draw new and existing student television stations together from across the entirety of the United Kingdom, but also to provide the platform upon which stations can ask each other for advice, overcome problems and nurture a community of like minded students and student television stations from across the UK.

NaSTA, the National Student Television Association, aims to:

• encourage and facilitate the communication between student television stations.
• offer support and advice to new student television stations.
• bring together stations for an annual conference and awards ceremony.
• represent student television stations on a national level and push for greater recognition among the industry of the work of student television stations.

It is run by students from a host station and all money raised from affiliation fees is spent only on achieving these aims of NaSTA.
