In 1978/’79, viewers of cable access TV (Cable 10) in Lower Mainland Vancouver were lucky to be able to watch two groundbreaking shows: Nite Dreems and Soundproof, which aired back-to-back on Sunday evenings. Nite Dreems was like a video version of a chaotic radio show, featuring musician interviews, comedy skits, and that rarest of commodities in pre-MTV days, the music video.
