When you surf through the tube, you might notice a familiar television station moved down a channel.

The UK student-run television station Channel 50 can now be found on channel 49 as Wildcat Student TV. The program was forced to move channels after Insight Communications decided they needed to move stations around to allow for additional ones and for future digital programming needs.

Insight had originally arranged for Channel 50 to be changed to channel 69, a move that Channel 50 did not agree with.

“We decided that channel 69 was not a good option for us, so we asked for something different,” Chris Thuringer, student media adviser of Wildcat Student TV, said. “Ultimately, the university agreed to give us channel 49 and they moved one of their channels to 69.”
The staff at the station agreed it was content with the new channel. The switch gave them a chance to “rebrand” themselves. Through an online poll, the station chose the new name “Wildcat Student TV.”
