Television Most homes subscribe to cable television through Shaw Communications, or internet protocol through Bell MTS. There are also two satellite services available through Shaw Direct and Bell Satellite TV. Some homes use grey market satellite dishes to bring in signals from American satellite services.
Free programming There are five English-language stations and one French-language station based in Winnipeg that supply free programming to the city.

American networks Additionally, American network affiliates broadcasting from Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota are available over-the-air in many parts of Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba. For decades, the Fargo/Grand Forks stations depended heavily on advertising in Winnipeg, as Winnipeg has more than double the population of the Fargo/Grand Forks market. Until the mid-1980s, CBS affiliate KXJB-TV (now independent KRDK) and NBC affiliate KTHI-TV (now KVLY-TV) from Fargo were available on Winnipeg's cable service. These channels were replaced by WJBK and WDIV-TV from Detroit, with WTOL from Toledo replacing WJBK after the latter switched to Fox. Currently, CBS affiliate WCCO-TV and NBC affiliate KARE from Minneapolis, Minnesota are available to Winnipeg via cable. The only commercial Fargo/Grand Forks station still available on cable in Winnipeg is ABC affiliate WDAZ-TV from Grand Forks, a semi-satellite of Fargo's WDAY-TV.
WUHF, the Fox-affiliate from Rochester, New York, has been available on Rogers Cable and its predecessors since December 1994, while MTS carries Minneapolis' KMSP-TV. Fargo Fox affiliate KVRR operates a repeater, KNRR, in border town Pembina, North Dakota; it reaches Winnipeg over-the-air. However, its weak signal requires either a rooftop VHF antenna aimed south or being located on a high floor of a tall building. KNRR was intended to target Winnipeg, but is not carried on any Winnipeg-area systems due to Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission concerns that Winnipeg businesses will advertise on KNRR rather than Winnipeg stations.
Ironically, some Winnipeg businesses advertise on WDAZ, as many Winnipeg residents shop in Grand Forks (and Fargo) to take advantage of lower taxes. However this is sometimes ineffective due to simultaneous substitution. This practice requires cable systems to replace WDAZ's signal with that of a Winnipeg station (usually either CKY or CKND) whenever the same program and episode air simultaneously.
The PBS member network for North Dakota, Prairie Public Television, has been carried on Winnipeg cable systems for decades by way of its Grand Forks outlet, KGFE. Prairie Public has long drawn significant support from Winnipeg, which is almost as large as the entire American population of Prairie Public's footprint.

Radio Winnipeg is home to 24 AM and FM radio stations, the most popular of which has been, for many years, CJOB—a talk-oriented AM station popular for its coverage of major storms and floods. After an absence of many years, Winnipeg is now home to two English-language and one French-language campus radio stations. NCI is devoted to Aboriginal programming, and CKJS-FM is devoted to ethnic programming. CBC Radio One and CBC Music broadcast local and national programming, and two Radio-Canada stations also broadcast French programming. There are several rock and pop oriented stations, two country stations, and one tourist information station.
