'''The Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech''' (EMCVT) is an independent 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 [[Robert G. Marshall]] as a result of content Marshall found objectional on the ''Sex Talk Live'' aired on [[VTTV]]. Marshall called for university officials to provide more oversight over student media on campus.<ref>{{cite news | first=Preston | last=Lloyd | coauthors= | title=Balancing rights and responsibility | date=2003-10-02 | publisher= | url =http://www.cavalierdailysplc.comorg/CVArticlenews/newsflash.asp?ID=17070&pidid=1054 681 | work =Cavalier Daily Student Press Law Center | pages = | accessdate = 20072010-0702-15 28 | language = }}</ref> Virginia Tech President [[Charles Steiger]] responded that he ''approached the idea of prior restraint (of student media) with uneasy caution'' and the matter was dropped.<ref>{{cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Lawmaker derides Virginia Tech students' 'Sex Talk Live' show | date=2003-10-09 | publisher= | url =http://www.splc.org/newsflash_archives.asp?id=681&year=2003 | work =Student Press Law Center | pages = | accessdate = 2007-07-15 | language = }}</ref>
