A closed circuit television station was instituted within the Children's Hospital of Winnipeg in April 1981. The station broadcasts commercial-free children's programming throughout the day with the highlight of the schedule being a 1-hour live broadcast each weekday. The personal, interactive format of the live program has made the show a unique and effective tool for reaching patients, helping individual patients accept different aspects of their care, teaching the children about the hospital, and simply boosting morale through making each child a part of the program.
1981年4月,温尼伯儿童医院设立了一个闭路电视台。该电视台全天播放无广告的儿童节目,其中的重头戏是每个工作日1小时的直播节目。直播节目的个性化互动形式使其成为一个独特而有效的工具,能接触到患者,帮助患者个体接受治疗的不同方面,向孩子们介绍医院,并且仅仅通过让每个孩子成为节目的一部分来鼓舞士气。
