About us

Student television at the University of Hartford since 1992

STN Channel 2 is the University of Hartford’s fully student-run, independent broadcast organization.

The station

Eighteen students founded STN in 1992 as a thesis project, to give the university the broadcast club it lacked. More than 250 alumni have come through since.

Members have reported as official press at presidential speeches, gone live from New York City on New Year’s Eve, and covered breaking news on and off campus, day and night.

STN went fully HD in 2014 and marked its 30th anniversary in 2023, bringing alumni and current members together.
