TURN was established in 2011 following conceptualization from Yiting Lu. The show originally started as a drama/action show starring secret agents and high-tech plots and environments before shifting to the traditional anthology-based show it is today. Formerly known as "IS" before becoming an official MSU Telecasters show, the name TURN was given to the show to help combat the obscurity of the former name. With episodes originally airing on Blip.tv and local campus television, TURN moved to YouTube in 2013, where their content still resides today. TURN has produced several dramatic short films, beginning to branch into audio play production in 2020.
