Are you a Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) student looking for a platform to showcase your talent? Varsity TV is here for you. Varsity TV is the platform where students are given an opportunity to present their abilities and to give out their opinions and share their experiences as varsity students.
Varsity TV started five years ago by Refilwe Lediga, he
was a student when he came up with this great idea of Varsity TV while he was
studying at University of Johannesburg. “Refilwe saw that campuses had
different kinds of media available to students but no TV, so he took advantage
of the of the gap so that students can entertain themselves by watching TV that
is tailor made for them, when they are done with their lectures and still want
to hang out on campuses”, said Buhle Hlastwayo, a media and communication
liaison officer and It has been going strong since then.
Varsity TV is been at all campuses of University of
Johannesburg and University of Witwatersrand and now they are increasing their
footprint by catering for Tut. The team of varsity TV is determined to take the
brand to the next level though they are facing challenges of viewership and
this sometimes slows down their programs because TV is about the audience. The
team is still working hard to increase their viewership. There more the
viewership the more the expansion of exciting ideas for varsity TV.
The team is trying everything at their art most best for
students to showcase and have confidence with their talent. In addition,
varsity TV is building relationships with bigger Media companies to help
students to keep growing and it will help students to get exposure. They will
also get a chance to be recognized and will get to showcase their talent on
bigger platforms. Their plan is to have screens around campuses, at UJ and Wits
University there are already screens around the campuses and they are planning
to do the same at Tut.
It is a great idea for campuses to have varsity TV
because not only does it give students to show off their talent but also give
them an opportunity to learn new things about TV and to know whether they
should stick to it and see where their talent lies. It will also encourage
students to follow what they love because there are many students who have
talents in acting, singing, poetry and many more but they don’t get a chance to
showcase it. Now varsity TV is giving them a chance to show people what they
are made off.
