Origins

Though students had been producing content for years under the organization known as BUTV, 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.[3]
