BUTV10 (stylized butv10) is Boston University’s student-operated media production and distribution network. Live-streamed and on-demand programming is available online at butv10.com and on campus television channel 10. The network's production facilities and administrative departments are based at the Boston University College of Communication (COM).

Established in 1984 as BUTV by then COM freshman Staffan Sandberg and rebranded BUTV10 in 2005, the organization produces an array of news, information, sports, drama, comedy, and variety programming. Content has received multiple Associated Press, NATAS, Telly, and Webby Award recognitions.

Origins

[edit]

BUTV was established in 1984 by COM freshman Staffan Sandberg.[1] Though students produced content under the BUTV umbrella for two decades, Boston University had no formal distribution platform. According to butv10 faculty advisor Christophor Cavalieri, once the campus was wired for cable, the plan for a student-run television station was initiated in September 2005.[2] The name BUTV10 was announced in November 2005,[3] and the channel premiered on February 22, 2006.[2] The student production group was also renamed Growling Dog Productions, as BU's mascot is Rhett the Boston Terrier.[3] The network's production facilities and administrative departments are based at the College of Communication.[2][4] Membership is open to any BU student.[2][4]
