Intimate and Interactive was NOT a daily show. It only happened when an artist/band showed up and agreed to a performance.
It was basically MTV unplugged and TRL had a baby.
GOOD TIMES!

MuchMusic was Canada's version of MTV.
Musicians frequently showed up for interviews and performances, and the cameras always panned to the audience on the street.

The videographers frequently went outside and engaged with the public. At the corner of the building, there was a video booth. One dollar, and you could record whatever you wanted for one minute. Speaker's Corner was a Toronto institution. youtu.be/y3fi7ioYxeE?...

However... Intimate and interactive definitely borrowed from MTV's Unplugged.
The difference is that MuchMusic studios were always located in downtown Toronto. From the beginning, CityTV (parent company) had a non-traditional type aesthetic, where the entire building was the studio.

MuchMusic Intimate and Interactive (launched 1991) was CLEARLY the inspiration for MTV 's Total Request Live (launched 1998).
