Videon's VPW and Greater Winnipeg Cablevision's GWC11 were much better, but you either didn't live here at the time or are too young to remember.
SHAW9 is nothing more than
infotainment that is nothing different than reality-tv like programming but on a local level. VPW & GWC had interview shows about Winnipeg, cultural, political, historical produced by the regular citizens of Winnipeg, not some fashion model. Here's some clips:

Especially watch this clip, as it shows what equipment and help were available to produce local:
VPW11 Open - 1988
And tomorrow I'll be adding another clip from VPW11. This one is from sometime in 1991 where Federal MP Dorothy Dobbie (PC Fort Garry) is interviewing Nick Diakiw about The Forks... development at the time and plans for the future... lots of footage of 1991 era Forks in there. Dorothy used this as a tool to communicate to her constituents... Nowadays though, politicians are starting to use YouTube...
