Initially, it was set up because they both found there was no society on campus that just let people go out and film things and make shows/films.

With the help of Kent Union and Mel Lewis (Student Media Manager 2011 – 2013) KTV became a society in April 2012, and the first video was uploaded on 17 May 2012 and can be found here.

At the end of the 2011/12 academic year KTV had also covered both of the big music festivals on campus Keynestock and the Kent Union Summerball.

During this year KTV covered many event at the university including Varsity and the Union Elections.

For the academic year 2013/14 KTV moved to a new student media centre on campus at the university.
