Our Story
Forge TV is one of the three outlets that makes up Forge Media, the University of Sheffield’s student media team. Founded in 2009, we’ve been around since Slovakia started using the Euro, Rage Against the Machine were Christmas #1, and an aeroplane landed in the Hudson River.
In 2012 we achieved our best result at the NaSTA Awards, gaining the Highly Commended awards in the ‘Ident’ and ‘Best Broadcaster’ categories.
Forge TV was elected to host the 2018 NaSTA Conference and Awards in early 2017. Over 300 members of student television descended on Sheffield for a weekend of talks, networking and to find out who’d be taking home the 20+ awards up for grabs. Having not won anything since our 2012 success, we won our first ever award for ‘Light Entertainment’ and were also Highly Commended in the categories of ‘Post-Production’ and multi-platform content.
