Studio Q started as Studio Cue in 1980. It was a student produced in-studio interview show filmed and edited in Kingston’s local community access cable studio (then Cablenet 13).
In 1985, the show was incorporated under Queen’s A.M.S. In the 1989-1990 season it adopted a newscast format.The format went through several content changes over the years —shifting from news to talk show to sketch comedy. A Journal article published on Sept. 22, 1989 reports that the premiere show covered “the city’s new recycling program, improvements in Frosh Week, and the standards of education at Queen’s.” Studio Q lost its broadcast slot of 6 p.m. on Cablenet 13 in 1997.
The name of the show changed again in 2006 (or 2007) to QueensTV (QTV). In 2015 QTV amalgamated with two other student-run services, Yearbook & Design Services (YDS) and Convocation Services, to form a marketing entity named “Studio Q”.

Dr. James Howard Walmsley (ca. 1890 - 1969) was born and raised in Athol Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario. He attended Point Petre Public School, Queen's University, Arts 1912, Medicine 1914, and served his medical internship at the Montreal General and the Montreal Maternity Hospital. During the First World War he served overseas with the Canadian Army Medical Corps from July 6, 1916 to July 12, 1919. This service included time spent at No. 7 Hospital (Queen's) between June 1916 and May 1918. After the war he spent about a year and a half studying in New York City and at Cochrane, Ontario before coming home to Picton, where he established the medical practice that only ended with his death in 1969. As well as being a part of the history of the area himself, Dr. Walmsley had an encyclopedic knowledge of local history. The 1985 publication, Prince Edward County Yarns as told by Dr. J. Howard Walmsley, edited by David R. Taylor, preserved some of the Doctor's reminiscences about the area.
