'''The Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech''' (EMCVT) is an independent , 501(c)(3) nonprofit governing body over student mass media organizations of the [[Virginia Tech]] campus. The EMCVT board of directors is made up of Virginia Tech faculty and staff, students, and members of the [[Blacksburg, Virginia]] community. As the parent company , EMCVT owns the copyrights on all media produced by its divisions.
In 2003, the structure of the EMCVT was called into question by Virginia House of Delegates member [[w:Robert G. Marshall|Robert G. Marshall]] as a result of content Marshall found objectionable on the ''Sex Talk Live'' aired on [[VTTV]]. Marshall called for university officials to provide more oversight over student media on campus.<ref>http://www.splc.org/news/newsflash.asp?id=681</ref> Virginia Tech President [[Charles Steger]] responded that he "...approached the idea of prior restraint [of student media] with uneasy caution" and the matter was dropped.
