Ryerson University Television (RUTV) – RUtv is a student operated community television station broadcasting content from a variety of genres including drama, comedy, music, entertainment, news, current affairs, reality, lifestyle, sports, events and more. It features student-produced content, with a student-centric perspective, and content can be created by any student at Ryerson University. RUtv is available for viewing on high definition displays across the Ryerson University campus, in residence on Channel 66, online, and is currently working to be available for distribution on ORION's global fibre optic network.

RUTV's Master Control - consists of a system manufactured by Broadcast Unifying Gears's or BUG TV. BUG TV makes use of both X-SAN and Openfiler where the stations program content is stored. Given the automated capabilities of Final Cut Server and the X-SAN, the BUG-TV infrastructure is built on top of the RCC's invested infrastructure. Once operable, students will be able to create content on the X-SAN using Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Server and then transfer the finished file to RUTV's storage account where via BUG TV it can then be scheduled for playback. Openfiler is a powerful, intuitive browser-based network open source storage software distribution that delivers file-based Network Attached Storage and block-based Storage Area Networking in a single framework.
