TVM is McGill University's on-campus television station, run by volunteering students on a non-profit basis. TVMcGill gained its official status as a Student's Society of McGill University (SSMU) club in 1996. Succeeding its role as a movie-making club throughout the 1990s, TVMcGill was officially founded in 2001 as a SSMU media service,^[1] broadcasting online and on closed-circuit television on campus.^[2] It regularly publishes stories relevant to the McGill community, whether it is news, arts, series or features. Recent stories include the coverage of the US elections from a Canadian student's perspective, the McGill Student's Society of McGill University Elections, the McGill Bachelorette^[3] and The Hot Plate.^[4] TVMcGill also organizes an annual Fokus Film Festival^[5]^[6] to promote and showcase student's films to the student community. Funding was mainly provided by SSMU,^[7] but after a student-initiated referendum motion that was successfully passed on March 11, 2010, TVMcGill is now supported directly from its own student funded fee.^[8] TVMcGill also participates in events such as SSUNS (Secondary Students United Nations Symposium) and McMUN (McGill Model United Nations), and receives support from external companies.
