Gibraltar had this same lineup, Trenton and Riverview had almost the same lineup but without a couple of channels, WNWO among them.

Back then, this headend could be reached at 382-1500 or 675-8300 and pay-per-view could be ordered at 675-8301...all of this, of course at this time, in area code 313.

Not having access to that board, I'll post my reply here. The mysterious channel 33 Mind Extension University or MEU was operated by Jones Intercable first as a remote classroom, where a teacher would do lessons on screen and students would call in or otherwise communicate their answers and fax in their completed work. When I saw it, kids in remote places in Alaska seemed to be a main target.

Aside from that, MEU also ran other programs aimed at adults. Mostly documentary stuff. And a few computer-oriented shows like "@Home" and reruns of exPBS Computer Chronicles if I remember right.
