Exeter to host university TV 'BAFTAS' this weekend
by Claire Manning
Around 400 students from across the UK will be descending on Exeter this weekend for an awards ceremony they say is their equivalent of the BAFTAS.
Many universities nowadays have their own student run television stations and this Saturday many of those stations are coming together to see who has been voted the best.
This year the University of Exeter has been selected to host the event and the TV station on campus there - XTV - will be filming the evening.

More than 400 students from across the UK are heading to Exeter University this weekend for the National Student TV Awards. The event celebrates TV stations on university campuses which broadcast programmes made by students online.
The long-running student ball has been cancelled in its current format, after CCTV footage apparently showing two guests apparently having sex went viral last month. The University's Student Guild launched an investigation after the incident, and now says it will create an alternative event.
