Original Toronto Star caption: Inuvik; N.W.T.; has had satellite television since February and the Eskimo and Indian viewers have learned to dislike reruns. But children on lunch hour from school like to drop in at the Hudson's Bay Co. store and watch a show or two. Tuktoyaktuk; 75 miles away; has just gotten TV; thanks to a receiving station built with donations from oil companies; and some say the Arctic will never be the same.
