Concordia University Television

CUTV gained visibility during 2012 for its live coverage of protests held against Plan Nord, as well as the 2012 student protests held in the Greater Montreal area pertaining to the planned post-secondary tuition hikes. The station used a broadcast system that allowed them to send images live over the cellular phone network, allowing for coverage of events that traditional television network news journalists could not access with their satellite trucks. Additionally, their images went out live, rather than with a timing delay, and offered an alternative perspective on the events. == 2020 Vote of No Confidence ==

In 2020, CUTV’s board of directors underwent a vote of no confidence. A petition signed by 50 members expressed that did not feel adequately represented by the administration. The members claimed the newly elected board members stacked the board election with friends and colleagues to accumulate votes. The petition also highlighted the potential conflict of interest between the chair of the annual general meeting due to his personal relationship with three elected board members. == Controversy involving The Breach ==

In October 2024, a former board member leaked a memorandum of understanding between CUTV and Canadian news website The Breach along with their resignation letter to Concordia student media. The document outlined an incubation deal where CUTV would transfer 360,000$ in annual increments from 2021 to 2025. These transfers equated to between 13.3% and 25.9% of CUTV’s annual income. == References ==
