Hey there, time traveller!

APTN has deepened its downtown-Winnipeg roots.
The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network has finalized the purchase of two buildings on Portage Avenue, making a permanent home in the studio space it has occupied in recent years.
The acquisitions include 339 Portages Avenue, which APTN has leased as its headquarters since the network’s launch in 1999, and the adjacent former bank building at 333 Portage Ave, which it rented for extra studio space during coverage of the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
“After 11 years of sustained growth, this new addition will be an essential component in our development and growth as a network,” APTN chief executive officer Jean LaRose said in a network release. “The new building will be a central space that will allow for a more productive and congenial working atmosphere and will provide our viewers with a much improved studio from which our various news and current affairs programming will emanate.”
The expanded headquarters will afford APTN staff almost three times the studio and office space that it had it the existing facility at 339 Portage Ave.
