== Full-Time Officer a.k.a Fairness, Transparency and Occountability Debate 2014 ==
After completely filling V/045 and getting the hashtag trending nationally at the election debate in 2013, YUSU held literally nothing back in its 2014 resurrection, held in the Roger Kirk Centre and chaired by none other than Greg Dyke himself. Well, except a decent PA system, but we'll get to that.
Like last year, YSTV broadcast the entire event live from the location. After somewhat last-minute providing speakers to the room last year, YUSU also expected us to do the same this year. With nine presidential candidates in the final debate, some microphones needed to be... well... the candidates were warned about the electric shock risks. The room also had two wireless microphones provided by AV in the room.
As with 60 second manifestos, some new ideas were tried out:
* [https://ystv.co.uk/debate] was created, which allowed both the physical and online audience to use a smartphone-optimised web page to show support for their favourite candidate throughout the debate. The results were shown live on the screens around the room, as well as using graphics on the live broadcast.
* This year, two presenters were used as comperes to fill the time between the debates. A small studio was set up on the balcony in the room, which was also the location of the control room.
* This was the first Outside Broadcast that made use of [[Kenobi]].
