University TV celebrates 1m hits
June 8, 2009
COVENTRY University’s YouTube channel is a hit.
Since its launch 18 months ago videos featured on CUTV have been watched more than a million times.
They range from lectures to fashion shows to tutorials to student films.
University creative multimedia manager Pete Woodbridge said: “It's truly amazing.
“The success of CUTV has surpassed our expectations. When you launch
something like this, it is not certain how it is going to be received
but judging by the feedback we've had and the number of visits to the
station, we are not only a local, but a global phenomenon.
"CUTV is so successful because it is produced with the help and support
of our devoted students at Coventry University who go on to produce
other pieces of work which create a following amongst the wider student
population.
“The channel itself has put up videos that have been watched well over half a million times and then students have put up other videos which we’ve put in our favourites.
“Some of those have been watched thousands of times.”
