Founded in 1968 and headquartered in the UK, the National Student Television Association (NaSTA) is a privately owned organization. Employing approximately 20 people as of 2023, NaSTA focuses on broadcast media production and distribution. Its primary function is to support, develop, and coordinate student television activities across the UK and Ireland. While student television in the UK predates NaSTA's founding (beginning in 1964), the organization's annual awards ceremony has been held since 1973.
The National Student Television Association (NaSTA) announced that Loughborough University Television (LSUTV) will host the 2026 Awards and Conference Weekend, with Maddie Douse serving as the host officer. LSUTV previously hosted the event in 2014. Nominations opened on an unspecified date for the 2025/26 Communications Officer and Midlands and East England Regional Development Officer positions on the NaSTA Executive and Non-Executive Committee, closing on Monday, August 25, 2025. The Association held an Annual General Meeting (AGM), where the Returning Officer reported no motions of censure received before the deadline. Following an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on May 26th, all proposed amendments were approved by member stations, resulting in changes to organizational processes for the AGM and updates to the constitution, executive committee bylaws, and event hosting policy.
