Abstract

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.
